Washington Redskins
1982 - 1983
This "tucked feather" version came about as a result of the decals not properly sticking to the helmets at the lower juncture of the feathers and the outer circle. The following year, the decal manufacturer started using a more flexible material, and the team reverted to the "hanging feather" version of the logo.
Washington Redskins
1972 - 1982
In 1972, the Redskins removed away from the letter "R" and replaced it with an native American. The circle is now a solid yellow with two feathers hanging. The Native American is brown skinned with black hair and two white feathers.

Vince Lombardi, who coached the Redskins in 1969 before dying during the 1970 pre-season, was the inspiration behind the helmet. Lombardi pushed for the logo, with the letter "R" which sat inside a white circle enclosed within a burgundy circle border, with Indian feathers hanging down from the side, because of its similarity to the "G" on the helmets worn by his Green Bay Packers for many years.
