Think you know ball?
What about old ball?
You’ll soon see after taking this 10 question quiz on old NFL team logos.
It’s amazing to think our grandfathers and great grandfathers probably thought these were super sick.
So let’s see how many logos you’re free to guess correctly out of ten.
Hint - these are all active franchises.
We’re sticking with the 101 course here.
I’ll save the Oorang Indians and Dayton Triangles for a 401 level pop quiz later.
Self scoring now everyone.
Let me know how you do.
We’ll start with some softballs which and continue with some more softballs that lend themselves to some jokes.
But we’ll end with a few hard balls.

I pulled this from the 1940 team.
What were we doing here, George Halas?
This bear looks like it’s falling out of a tree and about to land.
Just look at the pidgeon-toed feet and the awkward arm posture.
And what’s with the face?
Also can we all pitch in a little to buy this poor lion a meal?
Buddy hasn’t eaten in weeks.
Not exactly the most intimidating lion photo I’ve ever seen.
Probably a mere -115 favorite.
Is the guy supposed to be riding the anorexic lion?
I can’t really figure this out.

Again with the football.
There must ALWAYS be a football.
And can someone explain to me what is going on?
The OG “Orange Man Bad”.
Maybe they would have been a better team if the logo had a football.
Standing there all alone staring down with his tail cowering to the side.
There’s nothing in his soulless eyes.
you could literally stare right through them.
He has nothing to do.
He has no friends.
And zero females vying for his attention.
And I think we can all see why.
This poor guy is hung like a hampster.
OK, warmups are over.
Let’s get to some that might actually be challenging.
But add the fact that it’s blue and that should be enough to get you to the answer.

See how much happier logos are with a football?
Can we hook a bison up?
I know it’s supposed to be a hard hat, but come on.
That’s a fedora.
Well, what say you to this?
Logo #9
Little bit of a trick there to double right back.
But props to any who knew this as I sure as hell would never have guessed it.
Have to imagine the three emblems represent the three rivers?
What’s with the castle though?
You know those are all made of stone, right?
I think that’s what really threw me off.

Saved the best for last.
But this guy is amazing.
Who do I need to contact to get him painted at midfield in Santa Clara?
I’m OK if they don’t want the gun shown for PC reasons.
Remember Horace and Jasper from 101 Dalmations?
As for his decision on pants?
I have no answers.
How’d you do?
Just like in school.
It’s not about what you learn.
It’s about the laughs you make along the way.
