Like any other business, pro sports teams have been sending Christmas cards to decades. Of course I’ve never gotten one but I imagine it would be pretty cool. Some of the designs are downright festive and inspired, others not so much. Here’s a sampling of 12 Christmas cards (you know, like the 12 Days of Christmas) from teams over the last several decades, mostly of the front images. Most of the insides of these cards had a team photo and a nice little season greeting.<\/p>\n
