The
Super Bowl is days away and the sweet smell of football season is still in the air. This time each year, as we look forward to crowning a new national champion, we also reminisce about the past and all the great memories we share as fans. The
NFL has come a long way since its inception in 1920 and so have its teams, many of which have undergone significant identity changes. For the nostalgic fan, take a trip down memory lane with some items featuring historical football teams and remember
the way they were:
Fans of any age can appreciate the history behind teams like the
Houston Oilers,
Baltimore Colts, the
Chicago Cardinals and the
Boston Patriots as many of them are still around today, but now have a different mascot and/or hail from a different city. Pay tribute to your favorite team by adding a piece of history to your collection!
Do you have any of your team's memorabilia on display at home?

Cute post! We have tons of stuff, but we're just waiting on a house with a man cave to put it up! There is something exciting and fun about sports memorabilia... in moderation and with color scheme of course. ;)
ReplyDeletei don't really follow football but i was rooting for the patriots for some reason. but now i know it's because they were originally called the Boston Patriots! i love Boston!! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely cool to see how teams have evolved over time. Thanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteOMG I was just thinking the other day how I really wish I still had some of my 90s Orlando Magic threads from back when Shaq and Penny were on the team. I used to have a Penny Hardaway shirt and an old school hat with Stuff the Magic Dragon on it!
ReplyDeleteLove the old images! As a Wisconsinite, I have tons of packer items around and my parents have even more!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz!
