#' ggplot2 Layer for Visualizing NFL Team Wordmarks
#'
#' @description This geom is used to plot NFL team wordmarks instead
#'   of points in a ggplot. It requires x, y aesthetics as well as a valid NFL
#'   team abbreviation. The latter can be checked with [`valid_team_names()`].
#'
#' @inheritParams ggplot2::geom_point
#' @section Aesthetics:
#' `geom_nfl_logos()` understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics have no default value):
#' \describe{
#'   \item{`x`}{The x-coordinate. Required.}
#'   \item{`y`}{The y-coordinate. Required.}
#'   \item{`team_abbr`}{The team abbreviation. Should be one of [`valid_team_names()`]. The function tries to clean team names internally by calling [`nflreadr::clean_team_abbrs()`]. Required.}
#'   \item{`alpha = NULL`}{The alpha channel, i.e. transparency level, as a numerical value between 0 and 1.}
#'   \item{`colour = NULL`}{The image will be colorized with this colour. Use the special character `"b/w"` to set it to black and white. For more information on valid colour names in ggplot2 see <https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/articles/ggplot2-specs.html?q=colour#colour-and-fill>}
#'   \item{`angle = 0`}{The angle of the image as a numerical value between 0° and 360°.}
#'   \item{`hjust = 0.5`}{The horizontal adjustment relative to the given x coordinate. Must be a numerical value between 0 and 1.}
#'   \item{`vjust = 0.5`}{The vertical adjustment relative to the given y coordinate. Must be a numerical value between 0 and 1.}
#'   \item{`width = 1.0`}{The desired width of the image in `npc` (Normalised Parent Coordinates).
#'                           The default value is set to 1.0 which is *big* but it is necessary
#'                           because all used values are computed relative to the default.
#'                           A typical size is `width = 0.1` (see below examples).}
#'   \item{`height = 1.0`}{The desired height of the image in `npc` (Normalised Parent Coordinates).
#'                            The default value is set to 1.0 which is *big* but it is necessary
#'                            because all used values are computed relative to the default.
#'                            A typical size is `height = 0.1` (see below examples).}
#' }
#' @param ... Other arguments passed on to [ggplot2::layer()]. These are
#'   often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value. See the below
#'   section "Aesthetics" for a full list of possible arguments.
#' @return A ggplot2 layer ([ggplot2::layer()]) that can be added to a plot
#'   created with [ggplot2::ggplot()].
