Logo of the National Football League’s Detroit Lions, used by the franchise from 1961 until 1969. It’s a good logo to feature at this time, since it represents the era in which Alex Karras, who recently passed away, was a star defensive lineman for the team. The Lions had some decent teams in the 1960s but usually played second fiddle to the powerhouse Green Bay Packer teams of the era. Some of the club’s top players during this time, besides Karras, were Milt Plum, Joe Schmidt, Dick “Night Train” Lane, Yale Lary, John Gordy, Roger Brown, Wayne Walker, Dick LeBeau and Pat Studstill.
