Classic Team Logo of The Day

07 Oct

Logo of a team from the wild and wooly early days of the National Football League, the Oorang Indians. They were a traveling  team that played in the league in 1922 and 1923, and were named after the Oorang dog kennels in Larue, Ohio. The team was a novelty created by the kennel’s owner for marketing purposes, and its’ roster was made up entirely of Native Americans, led by future Hall of Famer Jim Thorpe. The kennel’s owner was able to purchase the franchise for $100, which he was easily able to do since he could sell one of his prize Airedale dogs for $150. With a population of less than 1,000 the town of Larue is the smallest city to ever have been home to an NFL franchise.
