The 2019\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0season is nearly upon us, and to celebrate I\u2019m doing something new to introduce the new season of team media guides.

Denver Broncos<\/h2>\n

\"NFL<\/a><\/p>\n

As you might expect, Denver chose to honor late owner Pat Bowlen with this year’s cover. I’m not really the type of person to critique a tribute like this, so I’m not going to. Grade: n\/a<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/h2>\n

\"NFL<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chiefs did a really nice job here, and I should add that they are consistently the one old AFL team that proudly displays that heritage. Nice color scheme, interesting background design, and cool wordmarks. Grade: A+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/h2>\n

\"NFL<\/a><\/p>\n

Well look at that, another cool design from an original AFL squad. Bolt Up is a stupid slogan but everything else about this cover is excellent. You’d also be hard-pressed to come up with a more iconic foursome of Chargers than Dan Fouts<\/a>, Junior Seau<\/a>, Lance Alworth<\/a>, and LaDainian Tomlinson<\/a>. Grade: A-<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Oakland Raiders<\/h2>\n

\"NFL<\/a><\/p>\n

In typical Raiders style, this cover is stark and simple. So they are at least consistent on that front. I like their 60th anniversary logo, which recalls both their original uniform number font<\/a> and the Al Davis Torch. Grade: A<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
