I have been an NFL fan for the better part of a decade. At that time a lot of things have changed about the league including the Logos of some teams. Ever since I was young logos have fascinated me from the good to the downright ugly. With this in mind, I have decided to show my personal top 10 NFL logos of all time. These will not be in any particular order as ranking them would give me anxiety about putting the right ones in the right places, but without further ado, let’s begin.

1970 – 1992 Denver Broncoss` 

I am partial to logos which effectively use letters. While there are too many that are just a letter, if you add certain elements you can make it work and this one sure does.

1987-1995 Philadelphia Eagles

 

Fantastic look. No letters just pure eagle Very powerful logo in my opinion and while their new one is good, this one was a little stronger in my opinion.

1980-1996 Houston Oilers

This is from a now-defunct NFL team but this logo is still fantastic in my eyes. Again no use of letters and it really pushes that Oilers name home. If this was a team name ranking this one would be up there for sure

2000-2015 St.Louis Rams

This one might be my favorite. I have a soft spot for the Rams team in St.Louis and I think they should still be around. This logo is amazing. The colors work very well together and the ram is ready to take on anyone. Love this one

1997-2012 Miami Dolphins

Kinda simple. I love the football helmet on the dolphin itself, plus the dolphin design is pretty cool. I really don’t have much to say about this one I just like it.

2017-Present New Orleans Saints

I am a big history buff and New Orleans has a rich and diverse history. I am also partial to anything with a Fleur-de-lis in it so this is right up my alley. The colors are very good and this works super well with the Saints name. Very iconic NFL logo and in fact the Saints have only ever had a Fleur-de-lis logo I just think this is the best version.

1995-2019 Oakland Raiders

Another really iconic NFL logo. This was the one used before the Raiders moved to Las Vegas. Feels weird saying that but that’s a whole other story. The crossed swords, the raider name, the eyepatch and the old football helmet. It all works incredibly well together and really fits the raiders fan culture as well. Really miss when they were in Oakland.

1998-2018 New York Jets

Now I know I talked about how I’m not a big fan of letters, but I am also full of contradictions. The Jets font is perfect and I love myself a good green. I also think this encapsulates the spirit of the Jets well although they have not been a good team in quite some time. Still regardless this logo of theirs is fantastic in my mind and I loved seeing it on their helmets.

1997-2003 Cincinnati Bengals

Now I’m not sure what a Bengal tiger and Cincinnati have in common, but this logo is awesome. The mouth open ready to strike, the colors. All of it is cool, and honestly their new one is a total downgrade. Shame this was only used for 6 seasons but maybe it can make a comeback.

2009-2016 Detroit Lions

I may be a little biased on this one but this is iconic and amazing. Lions have been around for a long time in the league they are the 5th oldest team having been founded in 1930. I love this logo and it is certainly not only because I am a fan. Blue color, amazing design and it looks great as a helmet decal. Ironically too this was the logo for probably some of the worst years of the Lions but they sure had one of the best logos in my opinion.That is my list of the ten best NFL logos of all time. This is strictly opinion based and feel free to disagree and show me more logos you think might be better
