The Patriots wanted a change from the Minute Man logo. Basically, the new owner of the team, James Orthwein Bush, wanted to move away from the old, and wanted a newer image for the team. After Bush agreed to sell the team to Bob Kraft, Kraft was brought in to view the potential new logos. Bob Kraft chose the "Flying Elvis" design that adorns the side of the Patriots helmets to this day.
Officialy the face is Pat Patriot. Unofficially he is known as Flying Elvis.
The Patriots changed the helmet logo in 1992. They went from Pat Patriot to the current Flying Elvis logo.
The original name was the Boston patriots named for all the patriots from the American revolution
They were known as the Boston Patriots from 1960-1970. They changed their name in February 1971 to the Bay State Patriots but changed it in March 1971 to New England Patriots.
