The NFL allowed media members to get a closer look at the Draft Theater on Tuesday. While there, the league was doing a test run of how it will look when teams are on the clock.

Union Station will be awash in a team’s colors when it is making a pick. At that time, a team’s logo will be projected on the National WW1 Museum and Memorial North Wall, the NFL said.

Judging by what I saw, alternative team logos will used when teams are on the clock.

These were part of a larger graphic inside the green room where prospects will wait to hear their name called. Can you spot the Arrowhead logo? It’s definitely different than what the team has on its helmets.

Many of the alternate logos were part of an image in the green room inside Union Station.
