Logo of a pro football team that existed for only a single season, in 1974, in the old World Football League, the Detroit Wheels. The team was severely underfinanced, even though they had a list of investors that totaled 33, including Motown great Marvin Gaye. They had little money to pay players, and wound up with a weak roster that won only one game. Their best player was probably quarterback Bubba Wyche, brother of former Cincinnati Bengal coach Sam Wyche. When the WFL made plans for its’ second season in 1975, the Wheels were the only team that didn’t have its’ franchise reissued, so the team faded into history.
