Phil Bissell

Phil Bissell, was a sports cartoonist for the Boston Globe and Worchester Telegram

He is credited with creating the iconic Pat Patriot logo for the Boston Patriots.

Born in 1926, Bissell drew sports cartoons for The Boston Globe. He came up with the iconic image soon after learning that Boston's new football team would be named the Patriots. He also illustrated the covers for game programs in the 1960s, according to the Patriots Hall of Fame. Pat Patriot adorned the New England helmets from 1961 until 1993, when it was replaced by today's "flying Elvis" logo.
