For Phil BissellPatriots logo designer Phil Bissell is pictured holding a car emblazoned with the logo and the words “PATSPA” outside his studio in Lockport, Massachusetts in 2009.
While working as a cartoonist for The Boston Globe, Bissell created the popular Patriot emblem. This emblem features the red, white and blue Minutemen preparing for a goal on a football field.

History of the New England Patriots logoNew England PatriotsFor Bissell he wanted the emblem to be as representative of football as possible and to represent the “warrior in the trenches”.All I wanted was to create a person who radiated will. His hand was completely damaged while digging a ditch. He was a great Patrick because he was a true trench warrior. The current logo replaced the original logo in 1993.
However, the respected designer only expressed his opinion about the new logo and expressed no respect for it. I honestly didn’t care if it was a flying Elvis in the hood or something. But he had no emotions.
This person has empathy. I managed to make a good play by putting the ball in the center.
