Patriots Primary Logo
The New England Patriots have been around since 1959 and their logo has gone through several changes over the years. The original primary logo of the team was a simple tricorn hat with an outline of a Minuteman in white, red, and blue colors. This design remained until 1993 when it was changed to a more modernized version featuring two white stars on either side of the tricorn hat as well as an additional star at its center.
Finally, in 2019 yet another change occurred when Nike took over from Reebok to become the official apparel partner for NFL teams including New England Patriots; thus introducing us to an updated version of Pat Patriot where he now appears wearing a modern-day football uniform instead! As part of this new look also came some slight modifications such as changing out a red color scheme for a navy blue one along with the inclusion of various shades of grey throughout the entire emblem itself - giving us the latest rendition iconic symbol that we can expect to see adorning jerseys sidelines Gillette Stadium come start the upcoming season!
