Default Failed 1979 logo

Does anyone recall the logo which fans booed out in favor of the then-current Pat Patriot logo circa 1979? What did it look like? Does anyone have any images?

I recall it was a stylized, squarish waving American flag with the chisled profile of a Patriot's face on the (left?) edge, evoking the former Old Man of the Mountains face in New Hampshire. I believe there were no stars in the flag, just the blue field and a reduced number of red/white stripes.

Thanks

They talked about this on PFW in Progress a few weeks ago - I'm sure if you e-mailed them they would answer the question on the show tomorrow - or someone here with a better memory of the discussion can tell us.

This would be a great find. I searched seven ways from Sunday on Google and couldn't find it. Pro'ly because it was pre-internet (August 24, 1979).

My bet is it is better than Elvis.

A dollar to whomever produces an image.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

I have a 1979 schedule that on the front cover has a "Captain America" looking type of Patriots cartoon character on it. I'll try to photo download and display.

Wow. I had completely erased that from my memory - and for good reason. That's just horrible; it may even be worse than Steely McBeam.
