Logo of the New York Yankees’ football team, a franchise that played in the All America Football Conference from 1946 until the league merged with the NFL in 1949. Unfortunately the Yanks weren’t one of the teams absorbed into the NFL, and their players were divided between the New York Giants and New York Bulldogs, who later took the Yankee nickname. The club played its’ home games at Yankee Stadium, in an era where baseball and football franchises routinely shared stadiums and team names. The gridiron Yanks’ roster included two Hall of Famers in Arnie Weinmeister and Tom Landry.
