First, I thought the blue color is blue like Cowboys, but they have changed their blue since then, and also used that hot-green more. I now see their helmet bird is like on a totem pole.
8:15 the Colts had the horseshoe as their logo long before 1979. Look at videos of the 1958 NFL Championship, it was on their helmets at least that far back.
Honestly, I don't even see the horseshoes that you mentioned in the Broncos logo. However, I can see the horseshoe that is the letter C in the "Broncos" wordmark.
They aren't diamonds, the proper name is said right in the video. I admit hypocycloids isn't a common term, but it is the technical name. If anything though we should be correcting that it was started by US Steel. US Steel bought the company that used it and that the team got permission from(the original logo of course just said Steel, they got permission to use the logo and change it to say Steelers).
The Dallas Cowboys Star logo is to represent the state nickname "The Lone Star State" I'm pretty sure. If I'm wrong, please let me know. As for the Houston Texans, I think it's pretty obvious but I'll let H-Town explain that one.
As a Texans fan, it represents the flag and the state of Texas. And the logo itself is an abstract depiction of a bull’s head. Even though the state animal of Texas is a longhorn, a longhorn is a type of bull known for their long horns. Fun fact, almost every professional sports team in Texas has a star on it.
No pressure but a month a ago you guys told me "got it" after 2 months of asking the biggest blowout by each team. I just wanted to know if you guys are going to upload it soon.
The Wanamaker Eagle sculpture at the nation's first department store was a Philadelphia landmark for decades before the Eagles existed, and that likely had more to do with the name than the Nat'l Recovery Agency, which had no particular connection with Philadelphia.
Being a huge Broncos fan for 30 years now, I would like to point out that with the current "Cyber horse" design of the Broncos there is a hidden Nike checkmark symbol where it's nostril is due to when they changed their uniforms they had a partnership with Nike, so as a result they snuck the checkmark into the design. Not very many people know of the hidden symbol, but I found it to be a pretty sneaky way for product placement. Plus, whenever the Broncos are featured on ESPN or NBC (I'm not positive as to which), the nostril on the logo is missing due to the specific Nike product placement.
I'm really glad you went over the Pro Bowl and the NFL logos like they weren't blatantly obvious. Surprised you didn't mention that the stars were for the NFC and AFC divisions for the NFL logo as well
You could've mentioned the dolphins with their dolphin/sea world reference but also the sun in the background is significant of beaches and the fact that Florida is the sunshine state.
Not sure why it wasn't mentioned but the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns all have the same nearly-invisible image on their logos. If you look really, really close there's a vortex of suckage in each one. ;-)
The face on the Patriots logo is in the shape of the Man in the Mountain formerly in New Hampshire and the star is the shape of the star on the Massachusetts state flag.
The Pittsburgh Steelers logo (the Steelmark) was originally the logo of the US Steel Corporation. It was later taken over by the "Steel Institute" in order to represent the entire US steel industry(or what's left of it.) For a time, NYC had the NFL Football Giants and the MLB Baseball Giants at the same time. That is until the football Giants moved to a stadium in New Jersey and the baseball Giants moved to one in San Francisco. DITTO the Cardinals. St. Louis. MO for a time had a baseball and a football team with the same name. That is, until the football team moved to Arizona.
This is so weird not the video but the minutes of the video: top 10 NFL teams that have amazing meaning more like 10 minutes of NFL meanings. I never knew NFL teams had meanings now we know
I moved to SC when the panthers joined the league and I can confirm the logo is the combination of the NC and SC state shapes. It was explicitly explained many times that first year.
THIS IS FUCKING BS, and i think its a flag banner waving over a patriots head and making the head look like he is wearing the tricorn hat. I feel Betrayed TPS and angry that i was lied to.
Two corrections to this. (this info pertains to the helmet logos) The Pittsburg Steelers started using the Steel logo in 1962 on their yellow helmets. This was the last year for the yellow helmets until they were brought back for throwbacks. In 1963 the Steelers switched to the black helmets with the logo and have used them since. On both the yellow and black helmets, the logo is only used on one side. This has been a tradition since 1962 when the logo was added. The Baltimore/Indy Colts have used the blue horseshoe on the side of their white helmets since 1957. Although the horseshoe was introduced on the helmet in 1954. At the time the Colts wore blue helmets, and the logos was on the rear of the helmet at a 1/4 in size. This is used on their blue throw back helmets they used a few years back. In 1956 the Colts switched to white helmets, and the small logos were again used on the back of the white helmet for one year. In 1957, it was changed to the side, which is currently worn by Indy.
Welcome to the sports version of WatchMojo, ladies and gentlemen. Like, seriously, I wish this channel would start doing video topics that people care about again.
regardless of different team logos, the NFLis just one business and all players work for the league, itself. Games are scripted and teams only pretend to compete.
Maybe idk if I’m right probably not but maybe he was thinking about Prometheus the titan who gave fire to humans. That might be a stretch but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt
Ok one you spelled Greek wrong the first time, two, what just because he said “the titan” and not Titans? It’s still a title nonetheless, I could say “the god in greek mythology..” and still be correct in defining a collective group. Three, they got the name because the location is “the Athens of the south” so no matter what it’s influenced by Greek mythology
I've always wondered why the eagles have the wings on their helmets and eagle head on the shoulders. It makes more sense to have the wings on the shoulders and the head on the....head. u
I became a Seahawk fan in 1980 when I was a park ranger. The 7-11 and other stores would give ticket away for any purchase. My supervisor saided to sign out a van,I needed 12 people.We go to Seattle's and spend the weekend.. The tickets were in the nose bleed section.My daughter took me to see them against the Saints.My dog has a Saints shirt.
Walter Payton was trying to start an expansion team in the 90s. And sketched the logo himself. When it fell through, the Broncos used his artwork for the new logo.
Justin Fraction dislikes the Cheatriots so much he decides to troll its fans. And here I thought he will explain the multiple states incorporated in a logo.
I've been told by old-family Carolinians that "there's no such thing as 'North' Carolina only Carolina and South Carolina". Maybe that's why they're called the Carolina Panthers
The chicago bears logo actually has a trophy in it. Look at it closely. It is an NFL trophy. so the bears logo, the first end of the c is kinda long, but the other is longer. Then the open space is the shape of a football.
although Carolina didnt play their first game until the 95 season them becoming a team was official in October of 93 and if you find panthers gear from 92 its a full body panther!
I never thought the flames in the logo meant the titan of Greek mythology. I assumed the logo was depicting a Titan missile as seen from directly above and the the flames was exhaust coming from the base of the missile.
@@bsrpython257 Glad you found it interesting. I must admit I'm a bit shocked that I've never heard it mentioned once during a Steelers game, not that I've seen every quarter ever played.
You put the still picture of the New England Patriots logo and you don't even have them in there and they have a pretty interesting story There logo was based On the profile of Elvis Presley designed in contest They downplay the idea it's Elvis which is totally bull because of legal copyrights
The Steel logo was originally designed by Pittsburgh based U.S. Steel in the late 50’s. It was adopted by the American Iron and Steel industry organization in the early 60’s. I asked this of the USS public affairs organization once and got a 2 page detailed write up. Ha.
The Patriots logo has a very specific meaning: the colors are from the US flag, the minuteman is from the colonial militia roots of New England, and the fact that he’s pointing towards the front of the player on both sides is a huge homage to the US flag code that requires all flags worn on the shoulders to have their stars toward the front of the wearer so as to always look as if it’s advancing forward
Miami Dolphins should have kept their original logo - too much sacred history behind that one. And the Denver Broncos as well, love the snorting horse inside the D....
The carolina logo is legit. They were pointing the design out a year b4 their first game. They do represent both Carolinas. And the design is the 2 states together in shape by design.
Fun Fact: Club Deportivo Huachipato from Chile also use the thee hypocycloids and their nickname is "The Steelers". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.D._Huachipato
The Carolina Panthers logo is not completely true. The bottom of the logo is shaped like the border of North and South Carolina. But the rest of the logo is simply a Panther. The electric blue is meant to be a combination of the Duke and UNC blue colors.
The Carolina Panthers logo was intentional. I went on a tour at Bank Of America Stadium and the guide said the owner intentionally made the logo to look like two Carolinas up-side down
If you stare at the Green Bay Packers logo on the helmet, you'll see the shape of a meathook, symbolizing the old local industry that gave them their name: Making fudge (or processing meat; whatever).
