1960 NFA Offseason Pt. 2
Identity Reveal:
At a packed hotel ballroom in San Francisco, on a nice June afternoon, San Francisco expansion team owner, Otis Strong, unveiled the team identity to a private crowd. First announcing the team name Whales as the winner of the local “Name the Team” contest. Later he revealed the uniforms. A shiny silver helmet with a blue stripe dons the top of a uniform set consisting of a blue jersey with white and silver stripes and a white jersey with blue and silver stripes, both accompanied by silver pants with a blue stripe running down the sides. A logo of a whale jumping out of water, and a funky modern wordmark is the rest of the branding.

At a much more exciting reveal, Seattle’s ownership unveils the new brand in front of a packed public crowd at a local park. He announces that just like San Francisco, Seattle’s name of Lumberjacks, had been chosen by a “Name the Team” contest. He then unveiled the uniforms. A yellow helmet with a green stripe runs down the center of the helmet. The uniforms consist of shoulder loops, a design solely seen in college as of now, and normal horizontal stripes. The team will wear white over white at home, and green over yellow. The logo includes the depiction of a Lumberjack character running with a football and an axe, in front of trees and Mt. Rainier.

C&C appreciated, how do you like the new teams?
