Logo of the Birmingham Vulcans, a pro football team that lasted almost one season in the old World Football League. They replaced the Birmingham Americans, who had been WFL champions in the league’s first season in 1974, after that team failed financially. The Vulcans continued the winning tradition, as they posted a 9-3 record, the best in the league, until the entire league ceased operations before completing its’ ’75 season. Since their record was the best of the teams still in the league, they were declared champions for ’75 when the WFL folded.
