It’s Thanksgiving week, so our classic logo is another version of the Detroit Lions’ Turkey Day logo. The tradition of a Thanksgiving Day game in the Motor City began way back in 1934, when Lions’ owner George Richards scheduled the holiday game to attract more fans. Although the NFL and college teams had played games on Thanksgiving prior to 1934, the Lions’ contests drew more attention as Richards owned a major affiliate of the NBC Radio Network, and was able to negotiate a deal to have the games broadcast live across the nation.
