Front and Back Helmet Logos
Logos on the side of helmets have been the norm since Fred Gehrke painted horns on the Los Angeles Rams’ helmets in 1948, but logos on the front and back of helmets preceded the Rams’ horns. The University of Chicago had their Wishbone C on the back of their helmets in 1921 and 1922 — www.footballarchaeology.com
