My recreation of the old Pro Sports Marketing lamps' package. I don't think it originally had their logo on the front, but added it as an homage. I also noticed a blank rectangle on the top flap.. I think because the boxes were all the same, the manufacturer (or department store retailer) may have used the empty space to identify (hand write ?) which team helmet was inside. In this hypothetical, the lamp is an old St. Louis football Cardinals. Far left cover helmet is Alabama. They made college & pros.

For 1976 a logo was created to honor the bicentennial of the American Revolution. It was used on flags, letterhead, etc. It's probably still familiar to some people.














In my acquisition of vintage football lamps, I recently encountered (what seems) like a knock-off tribute to the Bicentennial spirit of 1976.. Unless this logo represents something else someone remembers (?)
Email me if you have, or remember, an alternate, more elaborate, explanation on this cool Pro Sports Marketing lamp.

My collection of old Pro Sports Marketing NFL lamps, still need a couple to complete the league. They're all stamped with a 1973 copyright, but I believe there were several manufacturing waves. The earliest lamps having narrower brown cords & plugs, later ones having thicker black cords. Expansion Seahawks & Bucs coming in post-'73 releases. 

Vintage Bucs logo, signed by USC Trojan turned temporary Buc, Anthony Davis.

Unique one, with Lil Pro character, he must've predated the NFL Huddles that became popular 80s NFL characters

My only college one, acquired from a UCLA alum estate sale.. it was in heavily-used shape, did my best to clean & restore.
