Logo of a pro football team that played in the old Continental Football League for one season (1967), the Akron Vulcans. The league itself was formed to compete with the National Football League, and existed from 1965 until 1969. The Vulcans played only 4 games in that ’67 season before folding because of financial hardships. Their owner, Frank Hurn, had bought the team using borrowed Chicago mafia money and never was able to show any profit. The team’s three coaches for their short existence were all former NFL legends – Doak Walker, Lou Rymkus and Tobin Rote. The logo is somewhat similar to that of today’s Tennessee Titans of the NFL.
