Classic Team Logo of The Day

13 Sep

 

Original logo of the New York Jets of the American Football League from 1963, when Sonny Werblin purchased the franchise and changed the name from the original “Titans”. Their inaugural season as the Jets was also their first under coach Weeb Ewbank, who had great success in Baltimore in the NFL but was fired and replaced by Don Shula. The team drafted and signed, with much ballyhoo, Joe Namath in 1965 and eventually shocked the world by defeating Shula’s Colts in Super Bowl III – the ultimate revenge for Ewbank. With Monday Night Football beginning it’s 2010 campaign tonight, it’s also noteworthy that the Jets played in the first MNF game ever, in 1970.
