What of the pair of NFL teams that bolted Cleveland?
Decades before the Rams* crashed the party in LA and ages prior to Art Modell slinking out of town to brand his Browns crew an Edgar Allan Poe hallucination in Baltimore, Cleveland had a fourth football team that was, in fact, the city's original pro outfit.
It's the long lost CLEVELAND TIGERS® who chartered the NFL on the north coast, a century ago. Here is the shirt that honors the heritage of Ohio football, birthplace of the pro game. The pigskin emblem on the backside tells the story, sure to win a wager or two. Cheers.
*Yes, those Rams. Born in Cleveland, decamped to the Left Coast, then went on to pitch a tent down in Saint Louie.... only to skip back to Los Angeles.
