While typing this I went back to look again, and yes the resemblance is there. <br /><br />Curious, no logos or license, but they can use the teams nickname?

I've never been interested in vintage football cards like I am with baseball, and the lack of logos plays some role in that. There are some nice ones in this set though!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-57966503756737869342020-07-08T04:19:05.633-05:002020-07-08T04:19:05.633-05:00I have a few of this era football cards that I got...I have a few of this era football cards that I got in blind trades...I think the lack of logos is less disturbing here because their jerseys even today don't feature the logos prominently. The photos appear more genuine as a result, although the helmets do stand out if you know what to look for...which I didn't until you discussed it. <br /><br />I think you should do posts on your wins!Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-49515776789504267542020-07-07T22:37:42.228-05:002020-07-07T22:37:42.228-05:00I was about to say that my 1975 Topps football set...I was about to say that my 1975 Topps football set has the Rams horns airbrushed out when it hit me... those helmets *are* airbrushed, but they changed the curly horns into something like McDonald's arches. Take another look, the 'horn' goes straight down at the back of the helmet rather than curling around the ear hole. Maybe the Topps lawyers determined that this wasn't any more egregious of a license violation than keeping the helmet stripes on other teams' helmets.<br /><br />I have very few 1980 Football cards, but I somehow have a well-loved (by someone other than me) copy of the Phil Simms rookie... It might've been in a collection I bought at one point, I don't really remember.Shlabotnik Reporthttp://shlabotnikreport.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-45956001378165153402020-07-07T21:52:07.116-05:002020-07-07T21:52:07.116-05:00Love the no-logo NFL cards era, although I'm m...Love the no-logo NFL cards era, although I'm more of a '70s NFL cards guy.<br /><br />I don't think I knew what a fantasy team was until the mid-to-late '80s.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-89712364563412600332020-07-07T21:46:09.245-05:002020-07-07T21:46:09.245-05:00Nice catch on the Rams logo, I had that set for 40...Nice catch on the Rams logo, I had that set for 40 years and did not notice why they did not have airbrushed helmets.
