Who knows the answer to this Football History Question?

April 24th, 2010 | by admin |

My team has played 2 seasons when they were NOT known as the Steelers. What name(s) did they play as, when, and why would they do that. 1st with the correct answer wins!

phil-pitt steagles, 1943-1944 i think, world war 2 took the players, combined eagles and steelers.

EDIT-sbquartet said pirates first and then i put my answer and so did others with the right answer, and then she changed hers so i am just saying that i had the right answer first.

    1943
    The Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles merged together to become the Steagles during WW2. They did this because the players were joining the army to fight in the war.

    1944
    The Pittsburgh merged with the Chicago Cardinals, and the were called Card-Pitt.

    The Steelers played as the Phil-Pitt Steagles. Rooney merged his team with future NFL commish Bertie Bell’s as WWII was stripping players from the field. And then they swapped franchises, so the Steelers just became the Eagles for a while, but they were basically known as the Steagles. This was from about 1943-1945. Is this right? I read about this a while ago, so my memory might not serve me well.
