The Memphis Showboats, who played in the 1984 and 1985 USFL seasons, actually had 3 different logos. For the two seasons in which they played, the helmets used the “half-paddlewheel” logo for the helmet decal. Had the Showboats played in the fall of 1986 then they may have used one of their alternate logos.

Here is a link which shows all 3 Memphis Showboats logos, and it also shows photos of Showboats sideline jackets used during actual USFL games: http://www.usfl.info/showboats/archives.html

Here is an article from the USA Today (2006) about the uncashed check which Steve Erhart holds (as of 2006) from the USFL-NFL lawsuit: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/2006-08-07-usfl-retrospective_x.htm

It talks about the market for USFL memorabilia and merchandise, and it gives some great quotes about the early days of the USFL.
