Arguably one of the best sports franchises in the modern era, the New England Patriots became one of the most successful teams in NFL history in the 2000s. They are third in appearances in a Super Bowl with seven (Pittsburgh and Dallas each have 8) and have the most appearances in the last 25 years. This white-paneled Patriots logo ball is autographed by the 2012 team, including Wes Welker, Vince Wilfork, Stephen Gotkowski, Rob Gronkowski and many others.
