Logo of the Brooklyn Tigers, a football franchise that played one season in the National Football League, 1944. The team played as the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1930 until 1943, changed their name to the Tigers for the ’44 season, then merged with the Boston Yanks in 1945. The fact that they were winless, with an 0-10 record, in their lone season as the Tigers probably explains why the franchise didn’t survive. They had 3 different coaches during that season, and their best player was undoubtedly Hall of Famer Bruiser Kinard.
