Memphis Showboats USFL Bumper Sticker
Here is an interesting bumper sticker from the Memphis Showboats. It is one of the few (if not only) version of a USFL team’s bumper sticker which features two of the team’s logos.
Of interest, Memphis actually had 3 different logos. Research the site for more on this topic if it is of interest to you.

New Orleans Breakers USFL Bumper Sticker
The 1984 New Orleans Breakers were the second stop of out of three locations for the Breakers. The 1983 USFL Breakers played in Boston, 1984 was in New Orleans, and the 1985 Breakers played in Portland. What was interesting is that much of the coaching staff and roster stayed intact during those three years.

Denver Gold USFL Bumper Sticker
A non-standard-issue bumper of the USFL’s Denver Gold. Not sure if this sticker was from 1983, 1984, or 1985 as no markings on the sticker (or backing) indicated the season.

Pittsburgh Maulers USFL Bumper Sticker
Of interest is when you compare the sticker to the pennant, the direction of the helmet decal on the pennant is pointing in the opposite direction.
Also, notice the white outline around the logo decal. This was a change made in the middle of the 1984 season because the TV cameras could not capture the image of the earlier logo very well.
