Speaker 1 (00:11):
My man's been on a heater. We're going away from TV.
We're going to focus on sports. Football. Yeah, football, that's back.
We talked about being on football Island. Let's play football,
fire or Fizzle, except this time it's really more so
regarding famous NFL logos. This is in honor of the
(00:31):
Jerry Jones Slash Cowboys documentary on Netflix, which, by the way,
we haven't talked a lot about, but it is straight
fire as well.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
And he talked about putting that star on your helmet
and what that means. I said, let's do some logos.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
By the way, I just need to mention this real
quickly before we dive in the intro to that documentary.
We've talked about it off air. One of the best
documentary intros I've ever seen. I almost became a Cowboys fan.
Psych I'm just playing, you know me, I'm a Panthers fan.
Let's go okay, number one Steelers only on one side
of the helmet. They're a little unique in that regard.
(01:03):
Fire Fizzle West.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The Pittsburgh Steelers logo made his debut in nineteen sixty nine,
with only slight modifications since then. It showcases three diamonds
which represent materials vital to the city's industrial prowess. Yellow
for coal, red for iron, and blue for steel crap,
which I had never heard of. I thought that was
(01:25):
just some trash talk. The logos meaning goes beyond the
football field. It proudly represent Pittsburgh's identity as a blue
collar city with a rich history of industrial innovation. From
Terry Bradshaw to Frank o'harris to Antonio Brown and Big
Ben Roethlisberger some of your favorite Steelers. So when you
(01:50):
talk about this Steeler's logo yellow for coal, red for iron,
blue for steel crap, as we start this fire fizzle.
I may not have a lot of love for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, but this logo is straight fizzle. What the
hell did you think I was gonna say, I hate
the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You could take that terrible towel and you burn it.
That's right, It's what Kevin Garnett is telling you to do.
Number two. Interested where this is going? The Green Bay
Packers logo. All right, I know one certain quarterback that
you think is Fizzle that wore that Packer's logo for
a while. It's not like I'll stop. Go ahead, tell
(02:29):
me firefizzle from.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Bart's Star to Brett farre to that pompous, arrogant finger
pointer Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers is stylized G
enclosed with the green oval. Is designed and was designed
in nineteen sixty one by equipment manager Gerald Brasher an
(02:52):
art student John Gordon. The G represents the Green Bay
with simplicity and nothing more, and it's rendered in the
teams of fish colors green and gold. Green symbolizes the
football team's name and its association with the natural environment
of Wisconsin, while gold represents excellence and success. The bold
and classic design reflects the teams and enduring legacy and
(03:15):
the values of hard work and perseverance. So when you
see that G, that's one of those logos across the
world that there's no question what team you are cheering for.
They have cheeseheads and other things too to help you
know what time it is. But when it comes to
the Green Bay Packers and the G on that helmet,
it is rked fizzle. Let's get you the hell out
(03:36):
head too, Okay, you burn it, get you gone A
two fizzle beginning. I don't know have we seen it flounds,
I have not seen this to start off with two fizzles.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We don't see a lot of it. Let's move on,
we I mean the forty nine Ers logo. I think
I think we just checking this out. Okay, well, I'm
just going to say I think we saw our lead
off fizzle streak end too. But you can tell me,
maybe you surprise its fire fizzle West.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
From Joe Montana to Charlotte's Home, Dwight Clark, Jerry, Rice,
Terall Lowans, you name it. The San Francisco forty nine
Ers logo integrates a basic red background housing the team's
initials SFN bold white, which stands for San Francisco. If
you didn't know, within a football shape design with gold
(04:27):
accents at the edges, it didn't include gold until nineteen
ninety six. The forty nine has made the clever choice
to incorporate gold to pay homage to San Francisco's gold
Rush heritage, representing the spirit of ambition, exploration, and pursuit
of dreams, and the red equals energy and passion. Walker Mile,
(04:50):
you said that you feel like that the fiddle streak
has ended right here when you talk to San Francisco's
forty nine Ers logo it's not the most intricate when
you look at it. You know, I'm a visual man.
I can like the team and not necessarily like the logo.
So when it comes to the San Francisco forty nine
ers logo on the side of that helmet, it is
(05:10):
the right fighting What the hell did you think it
was going.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm just so happy when I see that logo. Yeah,
it's not cold in here anymore. Stay hydrated with all
that fizzle, it's now starting to heat up. Eight fooling.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I tried my best. I tried to throw you off myself.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It was a nice track. It was a nice attempt.
Cowboys logo fifty to fifty here man, fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, what you got? The Dallas Cowboys from EMMITTT. Smith,
Troy aight Back in the day, to Roger the Dodger
Stallback and all of the other famous Cowboys the first
eighty eight Drew Pearson and now to Michael Parsons and
Dak Prescott and Cede Lamb and the crew. They became
a part of the league in the year nineteen sixty
(05:56):
and they unveiled their official logo in nineteen sixty four.
You'ring a simple yet iconic blue star. Blue represents strength, confidence,
and loyalty, while white represents purity and integrity. It pays
tribute to Texas's nickname, the Lone Star State, and has
also become a symbol of America's team, representing the cowboys
(06:18):
widespread fan base and their status as a cultural in
sports sensation. There aren't many logos that you can put on.
There aren't many teams that you could play for and
become basically famous for no reason. It's almost like reality TV.
The Yankees, the Cowboys, the Lakers. You put those uniforms
on and that is forever a feather in your cap.
(06:40):
And when you talk about the Dallas Cowboys logo and
everything that it represents, uniforms, merchandise all over the place,
and a great documentary that you can watch on Netflix,
the Dallas Cowboys logo is the right fizzle that costs
me too much pain in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Okay, I did not know where that was going to
be honest as much pain.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
In my life.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Okay, that was fifty to fifty proposition. I thought it
might get a crazy fire, wide range of outcomes. There,
wide range of outcomes. Okay, we move on. I think
I know where this one's going. I need to stop
trying to guess. I apologize Panthers last one. Yes, the
Carolina Panthers logo. Is it fire Panther West or is
it Fizzle forty nine ers West.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
The Panthers' logo has been redesigned once in the team's
nearly thirty year history, as well as the uniforms okay
from Steve Burline the man that wore forty extra pounds
of equipment out there to take DeLong to Steve's Smith
Julius Pepper's Superman Cam Newton. The original design was created
(07:45):
in the early nineties by NFL Properties, the league's branding arm,
working closely with team ownership. Mark Richardson, the team president
and son of Jered Richardson, had already picked out Carolina's black, blue,
and silver color scheme. Those choices they drew criticism from
NFL officials when the franchise was announced in nineteen ninety three,
(08:06):
but Richardson's vision emphasized strength, sleekness, and regional identity. And
then many people feel like that the logo represents the
two states in one in a subtle way, but that
has never really been confirmed. Like that and it's up
for debate if that is indeed true, but adding weight
to the belief, longtime Panthers radio voice Mick Mixon told
(08:29):
the State in twenty sixteen that the team's logo is
indeed meant to mimic an outline of the two states,
and then the Panthers made some changes to it. They
removed the thin black outline. They used boulder more dynamic
swass of blue to add definition instead of an outline
of blue looks like highlights hinting of the Panthers fur
(08:49):
and the overall effect is more realistic and fearsome. And
the brand also transitioned to a slightly brighter shade of
blue to create more contrasts. The nose and whiskers were
changed for silver to blue, leaving only the teeth and
the eye silver. The Carolina Panthers and this logo, what
does it mean as we close out fire or fizzle
(09:11):
Queen City? Maybe the pride will come through, Maybe it
won't be For the Carolina Panthers logo, it is straight
the hell did y'all think was gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Straight?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Fizzle man? That's the music.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh disappointed
