2023 NFL Draft Team Logos And Alternate Logos

NFL draft alternate logos were designed by NFL’s creative department. The innovative take on the emblems was part of the 2023 Draft.

The exhibits were neatly done and presented a fresher look to the teams’ figures.

Over the years, all the teams have introduced alternative emblems. Tennessee Titans came up with four trademarks in 1999.

All were different because of their coloring and conceptualization. One common thing in all those badges was including the word ‘T,’ their signature.

Likewise, Atlanta Falcons have launched three of those. The first lasted from 1998 to 2002, while the second was used from 2003 to 2019.

The latest was initiated in 2020. The familiar symbol of the falcon remained on every label.

New Orleans Saints introduced one of the oldest substitute crests in 1967. After that, they put forward such crests in 1976, 1985, 2000, 2006, and 2009. The fleur-de-lis and golden hue are present in every design.

49ers draft logo is a realistic depiction of the team name. The man with a shiny object in his right hand was revealed while holding a pickaxe with another.

The franchise’s name is dedicated to the North Carolina diggers who arrived in San Francisco during the 1849 Gold Rush. The number 49 is taken from there and with the addition of ‘er,’ they are famously known as the 49ers.

Representation of the prospector is done well. The red tone provides an excellent balance to the grey-golden hat and the beard and long-hair look.

It is very different from the primary emblem, with ‘S’ overlapping ‘F’ with a red background and rims of gold and black in an oval shape.

The current trademark was redesigned in 2009. It applied a brighter red than its predecessor, which was used from 1996 to 2008.

Before that, the one used from 1968 to 1995 had the same design but lacked the golden rim. Out of all, the very first seal was unique. It had a cowboy posed in a revolver shot in a red shirt and checkered pants. It was the identity of the franchise from 1946 to 1967.

Dallas Cowboys draft logo consists of a cowboy with his hat and scarf. The star on the chest and the rope on the shoulder is good detailing.

The design maintains the blue hue from their primary seal. The original one has a blue star within a star. There are only two colors, blue and white.

The initial crest was made in 1960 by Tex Schramm, and he distributed it over 100,00 stamped calendars, reports The New York Times. It was a solid start colored in blue, a simple yet bold design.

In 1964, Tom Landry added a white border for more depth. Since then, it has been a symbol of the Cowboys. It is known as ‘The Double Star.’

Raiders draft logo preserved the cutlass and raider with a football helmet. Instead of happy, it presented him with an angry expression.

The modern design consists of a raider in a football helmet with a right eyepatch. He has cutlasses behind him in a black shield-shaped form with a thin black border.

The word ‘RAIDERS’ is placed right above the raider. It has been used since 2020.

In 1960, they played under the name Oakland Raiders. The seal was the same raider and cutlass. But, behind the head was a golden football, and the cutlass handle also was golden.

A shield-shaped form and grey color, along with ‘The Oakland Raider’, was added in 1963. Its re-invented form with only ‘Raiders’ and a full black background came into play from 1982 to 2019.

Cardinals draft logo is a realistic version of the red-head cardinal. The yellow beak and black patch are also seen.

The authentic badge made in 1920 was used till 1934. It had one ‘C’ inside another and was colored red.

In 1944, they adopted the ‘CARD-PITT’ lettering. Likewise, a significant alteration was seen in 1947 when they designed a cardinal sitting on a football. It was kept till 1959.

A red-muscular cardinal running with a ball made its way from 1960 to 1961. In 1970, the head of the cardinal with a yellow beak was launched.

The current look of the primary sign with black outline everywhere has been in use since 2005. A total of six changes have been made to this date.

Giants draft logo has a giant player ready to throw the ball. He stands massively among the tall landscapes of New York City.

It is a homage to the concept utilized from 1945 to 1960. The authentic piece had the same theme with a yellow background. It was carried on from 1945 to 1949.

The second stint saw a red backdrop employed from 1950 to 1955. A blue saturation was implemented from 1956 to 1960.

In 1961, the words ‘ny’ were stylized in blue color. Likewise, it saw a font change in 1975. From 1976 to 1999, only ‘Giants’ in blue tint with red outline was kept.

The current one follows the color pattern of its predecessor. Since 2000, it has been implemented, and the lettering ‘ny’ was welcomed back.

Patriots draft logo reveals a person in a blue coat and hat. The hat has a star illustrating the similarity with the primary one.

The history dates to 1960 when they were Boston Patriots and went to the field with a blue hat trademark. From 1961 to 1971, they adopted a Revolutionary War man ready to snap the ball.

A rendered look with the same design continued from 1972 to 1988. The skin color was eradicated, and football was made brown in 1989.

In 1993, a tri-corner-shaped grey face with a blue and red banner-style hat was unveiled. It became famous as the ‘Flying Elvis.’

The shade of blue is darker in the current crest. It was applied in 2000.

Houston Texans draft logo displayed a raging bull. It was colored red and blue and had a star in one eye, representing the flag of Texas.

The current imprint portrays a noble Spanish fighting bull split in half. One is covered in deep steel blue, while the other has battle red. There is also a star, resembling the state of lone star and the Texas flag.

Before that, Robert Huntzinger developed a complex design containing the state’s outline. It also featured two stars and five red horseshoes.

The primary emblem has continued in the league since the franchise’s debut in NFL in 2002.

Carolina Panthers draft logo depicts a fearsome panther. It is colored in Process blue, the same in their new uniform, reports CBS Sports.

In 2012, a slight adjustment was made. The primary construct was kept, while the shade of blue was transformed. Teeth and eyes were shaded in silver.

The newer one appeared more dimensional, and the aggressive look was reflected visibly compared to the previous one.

Falcons draft logo had a falcon flapping its wings and moving forward. The earliest crest was created in 1966.

It comprises a falcon making an ‘F’ letter. A red line outlined the black falcon.

The red line was swapped with a black line in 1990. In 2003, the new era began as red color and a three-dimensional feel were added.

The wings of the bird were slightly tilted to the back. The bird feels more aggressive and assertive while still gesturing the letter ‘F.’

Bears draft logo consisted of an orange grizzly bear. It appears aggressive and ready to bite its prey.

The earliest emblem is that of a black bear holding a brown ball. It was existent from 1940 to 1953.

The first one utilized by the franchise dates to 1996. A yellow background backed the letter ‘B’ in a feathered view.

It had a cross bottony at the bottom, while ‘RAVENS’ was inscribed at the top. Furthermore, the entire thing was supported by a set of wings colored white, blue, and black.

An alteration was witnessed in 1999, and the blue raven was brought into play. The letter ‘B’ was placed on the back of the bird, and a yellow lining completed it.

Colts draft logo illustrated a horse in a running motion. The famous horseshoe was also included to maintain its identity.

A slight adjustment in the color department appeared in 1997. A darker shade of blue made its way. It got even darker in 2002.

Likewise, in 2004 another change in the shade was noticed, and an even darker blue was implemented.

Dolphins draft logo was a happy-looking dolphin. It appeared to be on air and water splattered around it.

The inception phase in 1966 had a dolphin in a jumping motion. It wore a football helmet with the letter ‘M’ in orange. It also comprised an orange sunburst around the dolphin.

In 1974, the dolphin got bigger and was arched in the sunburst. Likewise, in 1989, the orange got darker, and the dolphin’s color also got dim. It provided the water feel.

Similarly, the creative department made revisions to the entire thing in 1997. The dolphin appeared three-dimensional, and the outlines of the sunburst were eradicated.

From 2013 to 2017, a new mascot design in a teal shape with no helmet was seen. The sunburst was modified with bigger edges.

Another alteration was implemented in 2018. The mascot got a dimmed shade, and the sunburst had coral orange.

In 1972, they utilized the concept of Lamar Hunt and executed the interlocking ‘KC.’ It has a white setting shaped inside an arrowhead outlined in thick black.

Broncos draft logo maintained originality by including the bucking horse. The shiny reddish mane and layers on the face provide a realistic outlook.

Later in 1962, they opted for the orange color. The player was in a throwing stance, with one hand controlling the bronco while another had a football.

A massive iteration was unveiled in 1970 when a big yellow ‘D’ with blue filling was applied. A furious white horse appears to be coming out of the frame.

In 1993, the facial characteristics of the horse were altered. A thick black outline was put around the animal.

Another change in design occurred in 1970 when they opted for a red bison.

Since 1997, they have been using a red pirate flag on a silver sword. The crossed swords, black and white skull, and a football on the flag have been their staple.
