Classic Team Logo of The Day

23 Jan

This is the logo of a team that played one season – 1943 – in the National Football League, and is officially known in NFL records as the “Phil-Pitt Combine”. During World War II, both the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers lost players to military service due to the war effort, and combined rosters for the ’43 season in order to field a team. The team has been more commonly known as the “Steagles”, and for that lone season, they had co-coaches, the Eagles’ Greasy Neale and the Steelers’ Walt Kiesling, as both coaches refused to be demoted. The club posted a 5-4-1 record and finished third in the NFL Eastern Division. A couple of notable Steagle players were Bucko Kilroy and Allie Sherman, who went on to coach the New York Giants.
