I can only assume many of the people who love Pat Patriot did not watch much football when that was the team logo. It was not emblematic of an NFL juggernaut prior to 1993, when the Elvis appeared.
Flying Elvis years: 24 seasons, 260-124, avg. season 10.8-5.2
Pat Patriot years: 33 season, 216-259, avg. season 6.5-7.8 (and that leaves out the one Super Bowl that Pat ever saw, in which he was monkey stomped at a biblical level).
Pat was great for an age when you really did not take any win for granted. I remember those days, and am not that nostalgic. I will suffer the throwback, but I do not yearn for its return.
