RIP Phil Bissell

[Humphrey]

Creator of Pat Patriot. Thought it deserved its own thread.

Regardless of whether Pat is part of any full-time changes, hope the Pats rid themselves of those sucky home unis- cannot stand the all-navy with the lone stripe on the shoulders.

I know years before flying Elvis, they made up some other logo to compete with Pat and it failed. Does anyone have a picture of it?

I was at the game when they had the proposed new logo in the end zone for a fan vote and soundly booed with the others.

Sullivan actually thought that was a good idea? Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I was there too, pretty comical response by the fans; that new proposed logo was hot garbage.

From what I remember, the problem with the Pat Patriot logo was it was difficult to transfer onto merchandise.

Like all of those older Patriots team, everything they did became a problem.

I was at that game as well, vs. the Oilers. Pats won easily, made them 2-4; then they dropped their last 10.

Did they do this another time? This one was a win against The Chargers in 79. And the team went 9-7 that year.

Maybe you are right. I didn't see many games but I did see that one as well. Memorable because the Pats were up 20-0, and came close to blowing it.

Yep. That was the game against the Chargers. Here's a screenshot from a clip on YouTube.

Enberg keeps calling Rolf Benirschke "Ber-nish-ka." What's the deal? He was better than that.
