1990-1991 "NFL on CBS" Theme Music

This theme debuted during CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XXIV at the end of the 1989 season. CBS would use it through the 1991 season's NFC Championship Game. For Super Bowl XXVI, CBS introduced a theme that they would use until 1993 (their final season of covering the NFC before FOX took over).

Even though I was a baby when this theme debuted, it sure does beat the current theme by a long shot...LOL

Sounds so 80s, even if its 1991...

early 2000's CBS theme is the best

I hope somebody has the full complete theme of this from the open of SB XXIV without the commentary. This is my favorite sports theme!

good quality, is it HD?

@Team903rd I think the SB XXI theme is one of the best in sports so I would rank that higher.

But you definitely got # 7 right.

(does anybody know the composers for the ones besides 5 & 7)

I started watching football during the 89-90 season (last season of the "Pots and Pans" theme) but this is the first theme that I remember CBS using. If I could rank the themes CBS has used between 1970-2011 for NFL coverage:

1) Classic "The NFL Today" theme

2) "Pots and Pans" (86-89)

3) "Stars and Stripes" (The theme used between 81-86)

4) SB XXI theme (Current SEC on CBS/college football theme)

5) SB XXVI theme (92-93/98-02)

6) SB XXIV theme (90-91)

7) Posthumus Zone

Super Bowl XXIV theme song and NFL on CBS theme for 1990 and 1991 seasons. Next to the last theme used before CBS lost football to FOX in 1993. Oh, crap it already says that at the top..... epic fail by me.....

@thatdudecozz89 this theme is a solid but it doesnt scream FOOTBALL like the two latest ones.

[thatdudecozz89]

@purplestuff722 No sir!!!!!! It's good, but doesn't compare to this legendary theme

[purplestuff722]

@thatdudecozz89 the new theme is the best, if not tied for the best with the one from the late 90's

Anyone know who composed this or the previous (pots and pans) one?
