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.
