This is the logo of NFL Films, a team that hasn’t won any championships but certainly revolutionized the game of pro football over the years. Ed Sabol founded the company as Blair Motion Pictures in 1962, convincing the NFL to allow him to produce a highlight film of the ’62 championship game between Green Bay and the New York Giants. Pete Rozelle, NFL commisioner at the time, saw the potential of Sabol’s work and convinced the league’s owners to finance the company, which was renamed NFL Films. The small film company, whose headquarters are located in Mount Laurel, NJ, has played an integral part in promoting the game over the years. Sabol was inducted into the game’s Hall of Fame in 2011 as a major contributor.
