Boston Patriots
1961 - 1971
From 1961 to 1992, the Patriots used the logo of a Revolutionary War minuteman hiking a football. “Pat Patriot,” the cartoon of a Minuteman preparing to snap a football drawn by the Boston Globe’s Phil Bissell, was chosen as the team’s logo.
Patriots Alternate Logo
The Boston Patriots have a long and storied history dating back to the early 1960s. The team has undergone several iterations of its logo, starting with an original design featuring a tricorne hat in blue and white. This was eventually replaced by a more modernized version which featured the team’s name in red script lettering on top of an outline of Massachusetts with stars representing each state. In 1992, the Patriots unveiled their first alternate logo: A stylized “Patriots” wordmark inside two overlapping circles similar to those found on American football helmets.
This new look was quickly embraced by fans and players, who wore it proudly during games and other events related to their beloved franchise. It also became popular among merchandise manufacturers producing hats, t-shirts, mugs, etc., all bearing this distinctive mark for eager supporters everywhere!
Today's current iteration is still based on this same concept. Still, it has been updated slightly for modern times, most notably adding navy blue accents instead of red ones, along with some minor tweaks here and there - such as adjusting font size or changing colors between different products available online/in stores today! The Boston Patriots' alternate logo resonates deeply amongst New Englanders everywhere, primarily due to its historical significance over generations past, now present into future years ahead too!
