If you followed the USFL in 1984, a subtle change took place during the middle of the season.  The Pittsburgh Maulers had to change their helmet logo/decal supposedly due to the fact that the orange/purple “Mauler” logo was difficult to see on TV.  At some point in the season the old logo was replaced with a logo that had a white outline around the “Mauler” on the decal.

Here are the differences:

If anyone from the Maulers or USFL offices ever finds this post then please leave a comment on the specifics of when/why the exact change was made.  Thanks in advance!

Here are highlights of one of the closer games in USFL history from a clip found on YouTube.  It features the 1984 matchup between the Pittsburgh Maulers facing the Michigan Panthers.  The game was played in the Pontiac Silverdome and features future NFL stars Mike Rozier, Bobby Hebert, and Anthony Carter:
