August 20, 1920. Canton, Ohio. Fourteen men representing ten teams met at an automobile showroom owned by Ralph Hay of the Canton Bulldogs and formed the American Professional Football Association. The meeting lasted about two hours. They elected Jim Thorpe – Olympic gold medalist, Carlisle Indian School football legend, arguably the greatest athlete of the early 20th century – as the association’s first president. The fee to join was $100 per franchise, paid by none of them. Two years later, the association renamed itself the National Football League.
What they built in that showroom is now the most commercially successful sports league in the world. The NFL generates over $20 billion in annual revenue. The Super Bowl draws over 100 million viewers and is the most-watched annual television event in the United States by a margin so large that second place is not close. Thirty-two franchises, two conferences, eight divisions, 17 regular-season games, and one championship game that arrives every February with the weight of an entire nation’s sports attention behind it.
These 70+ free pages at ColoringPagesOnly.com cover all of it – from the oldest team logos to the faces defining the current era. All free, PDF or PNG, print or color online. First down.
What’s Inside
The NFL Logo and Trophy Pages
NFL Logo, NFL Trophy Emblem, NFL Winner Cup, NFL Champions Trophy, Super Bowl LX Trophy, and Super Bowl LX Stadium open the collection with the symbols that matter most to every franchise in the league.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy – awarded to the Super Bowl champion since the first Super Bowl on January 15, 1967 – is made of sterling silver and stands 22 inches tall. It was designed by Tiffany & Co. and depicts a regulation-size football in a kicking position, mounted on a pyramid-shaped base. Unlike the Stanley Cup in hockey, which is a single trophy passed between champions, the Lombardi Trophy is a new piece created each year for the winning team. The award was named after Vince Lombardi, the Green Bay Packers coach who won the first two Super Bowls in 1971, one year after his death from cancer at age 57.
The Super Bowl LX pages are current to the 2026 season – Super Bowl 60 – representing the game’s continued expansion into one of American culture’s most significant annual events. Super Bowl LX will be played in February 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
The Current Stars – Players Defining This Era
The player pages in this collection span the exact moment the NFL is living through right now, and each one tells a story.
Patrick Mahomes is the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the dominant player of the current NFL era. Drafted 10th overall in 2017, he became a starter in 2018 and immediately won the league MVP. He has won multiple Super Bowl titles and multiple Super Bowl MVP awards, and is building a statistical and championship case that many observers are already positioning as the greatest quarterback career in NFL history. His throwing mechanics – specifically his ability to deliver accurate passes from impossible arm angles, while off-balance, under pressure – are genuinely unlike anything seen before in the position’s history. For the Mahomes page: Chiefs red (warm, slightly orange-tinted red) and gold.
Travis Kelce is the Chiefs’ tight end and Patrick Mahomes’ most important offensive weapon. He holds the NFL record for the most consecutive 1,000+ receiving yard seasons by a tight end. Multiple Super Bowl titles. The best quarterback-to-tight-end partnership in the game’s modern era. He is, by accumulated statistical evidence, the greatest tight end in NFL history. Color in Chiefs red and gold alongside the Mahomes page, and the two pages belong together.
Lamar Jackson is the Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback and a two-time NFL MVP, winning the award in 2019 (unanimous, the first unanimous MVP selection in NFL history) and again in 2023. His 2019 season redefined how defenses think about stopping a dual-threat quarterback: 36 touchdown passes, 7 interceptions, and 1,206 rushing yards – the most rushing yards ever by a quarterback in a single season at the time. The Ravens pages pair with the Lamar Jackson page: purple and black, with gold accents.
Josh Allen is the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback and one of the two or three best in the current AFC, alongside Mahomes. His combination of arm strength, mobility, and leadership has made him the most important player in a Buffalo franchise that has been to four consecutive Super Bowls (losing all four, from 1991 to 1994) and has spent three decades trying to get back. Bills red and blue: the red is vivid and warm, the blue is a true royal blue.
Jalen Hurts is the Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback who led the team to Super Bowl LVII and won the Eagles’ franchise’s second Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl LIX (February 2025). He won the 2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. Eagles midnight green: a dark, distinctly cool-toned green that is one of the NFL’s most unusual and immediately recognizable colors.
Aaron Donald retired from the Los Angeles Rams following their Super Bowl LVI championship win in February 2022. He is widely considered the greatest defensive player in modern NFL history – three Defensive Player of the Year awards (2017, 2018, 2020), a Pro Bowl selection in every season he was healthy, and pass rush statistics that are unprecedented for an interior defensive lineman. His page in this collection memorializes a career that redefined expectations for what a defensive tackle could be.
Joe Burrow is the Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback who led the Bengals to Super Bowl LVI in February 2022 – their first Super Bowl appearance since 1989 – and pushed the game to overtime before losing to the Rams. His combination of exceptional accuracy, calm under pressure, and fashion-forward personality has made him one of the NFL’s most recognizable faces in the current era. Bengals black and orange: a bold, high-contrast combination.
Christian McCaffrey is the San Francisco 49ers’ running back and the most complete offensive player at his position in the current NFL. He won the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. His ability to run, catch, and block at an elite level simultaneously makes him the most versatile skill position player in the league. 49ers red and gold: a warm, vivid red with a warm golden yellow.
The Team Logos – All 32 Franchises
The collection covers logos for every NFL franchise. A few carry particular stories.
Dallas Cowboys – the silver star on a blue background is one of the most recognized logos in American sports. The Cowboys call themselves “America’s Team” – a nickname given by NFL Films in 1978 – and are consistently the most valuable sports franchise in the world, valued at over $9 billion as of 2024. Their navy, silver, and white palette is immediately identifiable.
Kansas City Chiefs – the Arrowhead logo in red and gold represents a franchise that is currently the most successful in the NFL’s modern era, having appeared in five of the last six Super Bowls. The specific Chiefs red – warm, slightly orange-tinted – is one of the league’s most vivid team colors.
Philadelphia Eagles – two logo pages appear in the collection, representing different eras of the franchise’s branding. The current midnight green eagle head is one of the most distinctively colored logos in the NFL. Philadelphia won Super Bowl LII (2018, over the Patriots) and Super Bowl LIX (2025), the franchise’s second and third championships.
New England Patriots – two logo pages and a helmet page reflect the franchise’s cultural dominance of the 2000s and 2010s. Under head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady (2001–2019), the Patriots won six Super Bowls – the most by any franchise-coach-quarterback combination in NFL history. Brady’s departure to Tampa Bay in 2020, where he won a seventh Super Bowl, created the now-resolved debate over how much of the dynasty was Brady and how much was Belichick. The answer is both.
San Francisco 49ers – red and gold, the franchise that defines the 1980s NFL dynasty with five Super Bowls under coaches Bill Walsh and George Seifert, with quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. The current franchise, under Kyle Shanahan and with Christian McCaffrey as the offensive centerpiece, has reached multiple Super Bowls in recent years without yet winning.
Seattle Seahawks – navy, lime green, and grey in a color combination that was radical when introduced in 2002 and has since become one of the NFL’s most distinctive visual identities. The Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII (2014) and are the franchise most associated with the “Legion of Boom” defensive era under Pete Carroll.
Green Bay Packers – the only publicly owned major professional sports team in the United States, with over 360,000 shareholders distributed among fans nationwide. Founded in 1919, they are the NFL’s third-oldest franchise and have won 13 championships – four NFL championships before the Super Bowl era and four Super Bowls (I, II, XXXI, XLV). Dark green and gold.
Pittsburgh Steelers – the only team in NFL history to have won six Super Bowl championships. Black and gold, a color scheme derived from the colors of Pittsburgh’s steel industry – specifically the city flag, which uses the colors of the Coat of Arms of the Pittsburgh family who established the region. The Steelers logo is asymmetrical in a way unique in the NFL: the logo appears only on the right side of the helmet, not both sides, a tradition maintained since 1962.
Chicago Bears – the NFL’s second-oldest franchise, founded in 1920 (along with the Cardinals, now in Arizona, as the only remaining charter members). Navy and orange. The Bears have won one Super Bowl (XX, 1986) but are historically significant as one of the founding members and cultural anchors of the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens – named after Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem, as Baltimore is the city where Poe lived and died. Purple, black, and gold. The Ravens won Super Bowls XXXV (2001) and XLVII (2013). The franchise relocated from Cleveland in 1996, a move that generated significant controversy and resulted in the NFL eventually placing a new expansion team (the new Cleveland Browns) in Cleveland in 1999.
Washington Commanders – the most recently renamed franchise in the collection. The Washington Football Team changed its name to the Commanders in 2022, retiring the previous name (listed in this collection under its older branding) after widespread calls from Indigenous communities and advocacy organizations. Burgundy and gold.
Equipment, Action, and Template Pages
Helmet and Shoes of Football Players, 3D NFL Helmet Template, Baltimore Ravens Uniforms, NFL Equipment Logo, NFL Quarterback Action, NFL Running Player, NFL Referee Touchdown, NFL Touchdown Celebration, NFL Game Day Scoreboard, NFL Kickoff Timer, NFL Locker Room, NFL Flying Football, NFL Football Logo, Super Bowl Images, 2024 NFL Season Poster, Template of NFL Party Decoration, and NFL Cute Football Player cover the full supporting world of NFL football – the equipment that makes the game possible, the officials who govern it, the environments where it is played, and the celebrations that follow when something significant happens.
The 3D NFL Helmet Template is the most craft-ready page in the collection: a helmet unfolded flat that can be colored and assembled into a three-dimensional wearable helmet at a smaller scale. The Template of NFL Party Decoration provides a ready-made framework for game day or birthday party decoration that accepts any team’s color scheme.
What These Pages Actually Do
NFL team logos are geography lessons. The 32 NFL franchises are distributed across 29 cities in 25 states, plus the London and Munich international series games. A child who can identify all 32 logos has learned something about where American cities are, what industries define them (Packers = meat packing, Steelers = steel, Cowboys = the Western cattle frontier, 49ers = the California Gold Rush of 1849), and how professional sports franchises both reflect and shape regional identity.
The player pages build real sports history knowledge. Coloring Patrick Mahomes while discussing what makes him different from every quarterback before him, or Lamar Jackson while talking about what “unanimous MVP” means and how rare it is, or Aaron Donald while explaining why a defensive tackle winning Defensive Player of the Year three times is unprecedented – these conversations build sports literacy that lasts.
Trophy pages create an aspirational context. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the goal every franchise in the collection is chasing. A child who understands that the trophy was named after a specific coach who won the first two Super Bowls, who won six championships total, and who died before he was 60 of a disease he didn’t know he had – that child understands something real about legacy, achievement, and why the trophy matters.
Fine motor development. NFL helmet pages present some of the most geometrically demanding coloring challenges in this collection: the curved dome of the helmet rewards three-zone shading (highlight, mid-tone, shadow), the facemask grille requires precise parallel lines within a constrained grid, and the logo placement on the side of the helmet requires careful scale management. The 2005 Art Therapy Journal study on structured coloring reducing anxiety applies throughout.
Team colors build sustained fan identity. Research from the Aspen Institute’s Project Play identifies sport-specific identity – the feeling of genuinely belonging to a team’s community – as one of the most powerful predictors of sustained sports engagement across a lifetime. Coloring your team’s logo in exactly the right colors, getting the shade of green right for the Eagles or the precise red for the Chiefs, is a small act of identity formation that is more meaningful than it appears.
How to Color These Pages Well
The Steelers logo goes on one side only. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ logo – the Steelmark, originally designed for the American Iron and Steel Institute – appears on the right side of the helmet only, not the left. This is the only helmet in the NFL with an asymmetric logo placement, and it has been this way since 1962, when the team tested the logo on just one side and never added it to the other. When coloring the Steelers’ helmet page, keep this in mind.
Eagles’ midnight green is not standard green. It reads as cool, slightly dark, clearly distinct from forest green, and distinctly different from kelly green. The Eagles have used several different shades of green across their history; the current midnight green (introduced in 1996) is the darkest and most distinctive. It needs to read as dramatically different from the Packers’ dark green on the same display table.
Chiefs red is warm. More orange-adjacent than the Eagles’ red (which is a cooler primary red). More vivid than Patriots navy-adjacent dark options. Getting the warmth into the Chiefs red – the slight orange tilt – is what separates it from generic red and makes it instantly identifiable as the specific shade of Kansas City.
Ravens purple is a medium purple with cool undertones. Not the warm purple of the Lakers. Not a dark navy-purple. A medium, slightly cool purple that pairs with black (not dark blue) and gold. The combination of purple, black, and gold makes the Ravens one of the most visually striking uniform palettes in the NFL.
For player portrait pages, establish the jersey before the face. The uniform’s dominant color creates the temperature and contrast context for everything else in the illustration. Mahomes in Chiefs red and gold, Jackson in Ravens purple, Hurts in Eagles midnight green – get the jersey right first, then work the face and hands knowing what surrounds them.
The 3D helmet template rewards systematic coloring. Color the dome of the helmet in the team’s primary color, working from the panels in the center outward. Add a slightly lighter tone to the central top panel (where light strikes the dome from above) and a slightly darker tone to the lower side panels (shadow areas). Add the team logo last – it goes on the right side panel for the Steelers, centered on the side panel for most other teams. Score fold lines before folding; crease firmly before assembling.
5 Creative Activity Ideas
All-32 Division Wall Display
Print all 32 team logo pages. Color every single one with accurate team colors – verify proprietary shades before starting. Organize by conference (AFC and NFC) and by division within each conference (East, North, South, West). Mount on dark poster board in the standard NFL structure with division labels.
The finished display maps the entire competitive landscape of the NFL – which teams are in the same division, which divisions are in the same conference, which franchises are in the same geographic region. A child who can identify every team by logo and knows its conference and division has a genuine understanding of how NFL competition is organized that television broadcasts often fail to provide explicitly.
Super Bowl History Timeline
Print one logo page for each Super Bowl-winning team going back as far as the collection covers. Color each logo accurately. Mount in chronological order on a long horizontal strip, labeled with the Super Bowl number (Roman numeral), year, and opposing team. Add the winning team’s running championship total in the corner.
The finished timeline makes visible what decades of watching games obscure: certain franchises cluster, certain eras belong to certain teams, the competitive balance of the NFL shifts in 10-year cycles that only become obvious when you see them laid out consecutively. The Patriots’ six championships between 2002 and 2019 look genuinely extraordinary when placed against the rest of the timeline. So does the 49ers’ five championships compressed into the 1980s.
3D NFL Helmet
Print the 3D NFL Helmet Template on the heaviest cardstock your printer handles. Choose your team’s colors before touching the page. Color the dome in the team’s primary color – three zones: lighter at the top center (highlight), full-saturation across the main surfaces (mid-tone), slightly darker on the lower sides (shadow). Add the facemask in metallic grey or silver. Add the team logo on the right side panel.
Score fold lines carefully with the back of a butter knife before folding. Assemble with craft glue, one seam at a time, holding each joint for 30 seconds before moving to the next. The result is a miniature football helmet that looks considerably more impressive than its construction process suggests.
Game Day Party Decoration
The Template of NFL Party Decoration is the starting point. Print it alongside several team logo pages and the trophy pages. Color everything in a consistent team palette – your team’s colors applied to every element on every page.
Cut out logos and trophy images. String smaller elements on ribbon as bunting. Mount the larger team logo and trophy pages on foam board for a standalone display. Add the Touchdown Celebration and Scoreboard pages to the display as additional visual elements. Create cupcake toppers from logo pages printed at 25% and attached to toothpicks with hot glue.
The result is a game day decoration setup that is more personal and more visually coherent than anything commercially available, because every element is in exactly your team’s colors.
NFL Player Era Poster
Print the eight player pages: Mahomes, Kelce, Jackson, Allen, Hurts, Donald, Burrow, McCaffrey. Color each in their respective team uniforms – all eight different color schemes, all carefully rendered. Mount them on a large dark poster board in two rows of four.
Add a hand-lettered title: “THE CURRENT NFL” or “2024 SEASON – THE FACES OF THE GAME.” Below each player, add three lines: name, team, and one defining statistic (Mahomes: multiple Super Bowls; Jackson: unanimous MVP 2019; Donald: three-time Defensive Player of the Year; McCaffrey: 2023 Offensive Player of the Year).
The finished poster is a genuine NFL literacy document – eight players, eight teams, eight different stories, all on one wall.
Frequently Asked Questions
When was the NFL founded, and what was it originally called? The NFL was founded on August 20, 1920, in Canton, Ohio, under the name American Professional Football Association (APFA). The founding meeting took place at the automobile showroom of Ralph Hay, owner of the Canton Bulldogs. Jim Thorpe – the Olympic gold medalist and one of the greatest multi-sport athletes in American history – was elected the association’s first president. The organization renamed itself the National Football League in 1922. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton in recognition of the city’s role in the NFL’s founding.
Which NFL franchises have won the most Super Bowls? As of Super Bowl LIX (February 2025), the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are tied with six Super Bowl victories each. The San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys each have five. The Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams, and Denver Broncos each have two or more. The Philadelphia Eagles won their second championship at Super Bowl LIX. The Kansas City Chiefs have been the dominant franchise of the current era, appearing in five of the six Super Bowls from 2020 to 2025.
What makes Patrick Mahomes historically significant? Patrick Mahomes has won multiple Super Bowl titles with the Kansas City Chiefs since becoming the starter in 2018, along with multiple Super Bowl MVP awards and regular-season MVP awards. His throwing mechanics – specifically his ability to throw accurately from unusual arm angles, while off-balance, under heavy pressure – have no historical precedent at the quarterback position. His career is still active as of 2025, and the championship case being built around him is increasingly difficult to argue against in the GOAT quarterback debate. He was 24 years old when he won his first Super Bowl.
Who is Lamar Jackson, and what is the significance of “unanimous MVP”? Lamar Jackson is the quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. In 2019, he won the NFL Most Valuable Player award unanimously – meaning every single voter named him the MVP, the first unanimous MVP selection in NFL history. He also won the award in 2023. His 2019 season produced 36 touchdown passes, 7 interceptions, and over 1,200 rushing yards – the most rushing yards ever by a quarterback in a single season at the time, by a significant margin. He has redefined how defenses approach covering a dual-threat quarterback in the modern era.
What is the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and why is it named after a coach? The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the championship trophy awarded to the winner of each Super Bowl. It was designed by Tiffany & Co. and depicts a regulation-size NFL football in a kicking position, made of sterling silver. It was named after Vince Lombardi following his death from cancer in September 1970 at age 57. Lombardi had coached the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships in seven years, including victories in the first two Super Bowls (I and II). He is widely regarded as the greatest coach in NFL history, and his name on the championship trophy reflects the league’s assessment of where he stands in the sport’s history.
What does the Pittsburgh Steelers’ logo represent, and why is it only on one side? The Pittsburgh Steelers’ logo – the Steelmark – was originally designed for the American Iron and Steel Institute in 1962 to represent the three materials used in steelmaking: yellow for coal, orange for iron ore, and blue for steel scrap. The Steelers’ version uses the same design and was added to the right side of the helmet only in 1962 as a trial that was never extended to the left side. The asymmetric placement became a tradition and has been maintained ever since – making the Steelers the only NFL franchise with a logo on just one side of the helmet.
Are these pages appropriate for young children? Yes. The simpler logo pages – particularly those with clean, bold designs like the Cowboys (single star), the Saints (fleur-de-lis), the Bears (wordmark C), and the Colts (horseshoe) – work well from age 4 upward. The more complex logos with detailed mascot imagery (Eagles, Ravens, Seahawks, Jaguars) and the player portrait pages reward the fine motor control that develops from around age 7-8. The 3D helmet template craft is most effective for ages 8 and up, with some adult assistance for the assembly steps. The trophy pages work well across all ages and are particularly meaningful for children who follow the Super Bowl.
Can these pages be used for a Super Bowl party? Absolutely – and this is one of the most popular uses of the collection. Print a mix of the two competing teams’ logo pages, player pages, trophy pages, and the party decoration template in the week before the Super Bowl. Set up a coloring station during pre-game and halftime with markers and colored pencils in both teams’ colors. The finished pages can be displayed as a fan gallery, given as party favors, or assembled into the game day decoration display described in the Craft Ideas section above. The scoreboard page becomes interactive when filled in live during the game.

Fourteen men in an automobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, in August 1920 started something that would become the most commercially successful sports league in the world. They didn’t know that. They were trying to stabilize player salaries and stop franchises from raiding each other’s rosters. The game built itself around them – and around Walter Camp’s rules, and Vince Lombardi’s championship standard, and Tom Brady’s 23 years of Sunday afternoons, and now Patrick Mahomes throwing impossible spirals from impossible angles in front of 100 million people.
