NFL: Ranking every team logo from worst to best

The Packers’ nickname is a nod to local industry, which is a nice touch, especially considering the close ties the Packers have to their community, but oh, that color scheme. Green and gold do not go together, and because of that, the Packers’ logo was always going to look ridiculous.

The logo itself is just boring. Lombardi commissioned an equipment manager to come up with something in 1961 and the “oval G” was the proposal. The wordmark is just a stencil. Overall, it’s mostly uncreative and bathed in a hideous green and gold glow.

The Giants took their name from the local baseball team and their logo is just a couple of blue lowercase letters, all of which is kind of boring and unoriginal.

The Falcons’ logo is a little weird. It’s the most indistinguishable of the NFL’s flock of bird mascots and only sort of looks like a bird at all. I think it’s the claw that’s throwing me off. Apparently, it is supposed to look like the letter “F,” presumably to help us understand that it is, in fact, a falcon and not some other generic North American bird of prey.

The red and black color scheme has a kind of brooding light novel protagonist vibe and sort of looks like the colors someone would pick for their created team in Madden, and not in a good way.

This list isn’t specifically about uniforms, but, man, those uniforms look like the offspring of the XFL and an alarm clock. Please, Tampa, bring back the creamsicles. They were amazing.

The Buccaneers’ logo mostly just lacks creativity. When they moved away from the hilarious yet endearing Bucco Bruce to a skull and crossed swords, the logo was a bit generic but suitable. The recent update, however, with the brighter red and oddly-cartoonish skull, looks more like something out of “Jake and the Never Land Pirates.” Good for a birthday party, not so good for a professional football team.
