Football as football

A group of people in Minneapolis decided to see what American football logos would look like if they were reimagined as European style football logos. The results are pretty cool and can be seen on their website !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . And there is a bonus planelopnik with the Jets logo. First person to guess the plane wins 20 minutes of AOL which I will send as soon as I find the CD that they sent me in the mail ten years ago.

Which is why they chose a British fighter silhouette for the Jets logo?

Those are pretty cool, actually. Thanks for sharing.

I like the logos for the Bills and the Titans better than the real logos. The Titans logo is starting to look dated to me.

That's rather cool actually. Love the Minnesota Vikings badge.

I like seeing this kind of design exercise. Very cool.

The website is supremely annoying, but the designs are cool and interesting.

If I've got the correct fighter in mind, its not exactly British. At least not 100% as it was a joint venture.

Figured people would like these. The modernized coat of arms look to a lot of them make for pretty cool logos.

If you get the cursor out of the browser window and put it over the scroll bar you can avoid the pop up / highlighting that it does when the cursor is over a logo.

You're right, not totally British. Another Euro consortium job, so I should have said "European fighter".

A technicality. Anyway you're close enough so as soon as I can find an AOL CD it will be in the mail.

Thanks, but I've got enough.

The Carolina Panthers logo looks too much like the Detroit Lions IMHO. And I think I would like the Broncos shield better if they used this old logo on the left side and switched it to those colors, even though the corresponding uniforms are known to induce vomiting.

Kinja'd!!!

Doesn't work for me. Still super annoying. Any other tricks that might make it not terrible?

Try a different browser? I'm using chrome and have the scroll bar on the right that lets me get the cursor out of the page and still scroll.

Stuck with IE8 at work. Maximized the screen and it worked. Thanks!
