Which NFL team was the first to decorate their helmets?
Chicago Bears
Detroit Lions
Dallas Cowboys
Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams have the unique distinction of being the first NFL team to put a logo on their helmet. This groundbreaking initiative was led by Rams halfback, Fred Gehrke. Gehrke personally hand-painted yellow ram horns on 75 of the team’s helmets, charging the team owner $1.00 per helmet. The project took Gehrke the entire summer of 1948. His simple idea to paint a logo on the helmet caught on like wildfire and by the early 1960s, every NFL team had a logo on the sides of their helmets, except for one notable exception, the Cleveland Browns.
The correct answer is Los Angeles Rams.
