After Billy Sullivan was awarded the 8th and final franchise in the American Football League, a contest for area fans was held. Locals were asked to submit team names. There is no breakdown of the name submitted and the Patriots website provides a limited amount of information on the contest itself.
One of the first orders of business of the management group was giving the franchise a name and that was accomplished through a public contest. Thousands of entries were submitted to name the team and 74 fans suggested the winning name, the Boston Patriots. Shortly after the franchise name was chosen, Boston Globe artist Phil Bissell drew a cartoon of a Minuteman preparing to snap a football and owner Sullivan liked the drawing so much that he selected "Pat Patriot" as the team logo.
