About a week ago Marc and I discussed NFL teams who have their script logo right below the NFL shield in thier jerseys. Well, in either a testament to how much I screw around at work, or an example of how dedicated I am to solving the great mysteries of life, I've compiled a list.
The breakdown is almost 50-50. In fact, there are 15 teams that wear their script log below the shield, and 17 teams that do not. There's really nothing to be inferred from this data; no great wisdom or insight about the NFL can be gained by knowing this. It is, simply and purely, trivial. But that's why you love me.
Teams with script logo:
Redskins, Eagles, Rams, Giants, Buccaneers, Dolphins, Broncos, Titans, Falcons, Ravens, Seahawks, Browns, Patriots, Lions, and Texans.
Teams without script logo:
Bills, Chargers, Bengals, Bears, Cardinals, Chiefs, Raiders, Saints, Jets, Jaguars, Vikings, Panthers, Cowboys, Steelers, Colts, Packers, 49ers.
The lists have some surprises. For example, newly formed franchises Jax and Carolina have gone script-less, while long-standing teams Browns, Lions and Redskins have gone with the script. The only thing I think I can say about this data is just that, for the most part, teams with new or recently revamped uni's go for the script as a nod toward modernism (i.e. Eagles, Broncos, Falcons, Seahawks), but not always (i.e. 49ers, Bills).
Now, I know what you're saying. How does this data break down in terms of division? I'm one step ahead of you.
AFC
North:2 teams
South:2 teams
East:2 teams
West:1 team (tied with NFC North for fewest teams with script logo)
NFC
North:1 team
South:2 teams
East:3 teams (most in any division)
West:2 teams
Since this is probably my last post until Saturday, Happy Thanksgiving,
