With the Green Bay Packers, we see the first example of a difference in the smaller team name patch between 1972 and 1973. Even though there is no difference in the Packers helmet patch sticker between 1972 and 1973, there is a difference in the Pittsburgh Steelers patch:
The 1972 patch on the left has "STEELERS" in all caps while the 1973 patch has "Steelers" in a lower case stencil font.
In 1974 the facemask changed from single bar to double bar:
while the 1975 issue added TMs (although its hard to see against the dark green background):
The 1976 series added a yellow border around the helmet patch as well as had the matching Hi-Gloss helmet sticker:
The Packers logo patch was the same for 1972 through 1974 (top left), followed by the addition of TMs in 1975 (top right)
with the cloth patch and Hi-Gloss sticker from 1976 seen on the bottom.
