The Patriots have used the Flying Elvis logo since 1993, and New England hasn’t been the only victorious football team to wear it in that span of time.
Adlai E. Stevenson High School, located in Lincolnshire, Illinois, used a very similar looking logo on its helmet to that of its New England professional counterpart until a recent change. The announcement of the switch to an “S” logo came after students reportedly complained that it was plagiarism of the NFL Patriots.
“Some students rightfully called us on that,” said the public information Jim Conrey coordinator to the Chicago Tribune.
