As I mentioned previously I am almost certain it was the 1970 season. In the 1970 Super Bowl, which was the end of the 1969 season, I am pretty sure the Vikings did not have names on the back of their jerseys as opposed to the Chiefs. The NFL and AFL officially merged for the 1970 season. When I have seen replays of the Colts - Cowboys Super Bowl in 1971, which was the end of the 1970 season, both teams had names on the back of their jerseys. Again unless someone can prove different I am sure it began with the 1970 season.
