The National Football League is a multi-faceted corporation. It has design on nearly every level of the organization. It is full of design when it comes to team colors, logos, mascots, and stadiums. It is a huge money making conglomerate of athletes, agents, coaches, trainers, referees, and even lawyers.
The symbols or logos for all 32 teams are recognizable by most Americans. The logos have changed and evolved throughout the years to reflect the city that the team is playing for. Merchandising the team logos have been very profitable for the league and its player’s. The thirty-two teams that make up the league are the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, San Francisco Forty-Niners, and the Seattle Seahawks. More than half of the team's logos are based on an animal.
Each team has a die-hard group of fans. Every team has fans that have traditions when it comes to watching their team play. Fans can go as far as tattooing their team’s logo on their body. It may be alarming how influential symbolism can be on a society, but it is a lot of fun to watch.
