Try telling this to a Baltimore Colts fan who says we stole their team.
Before that they were the Dayton Triangles
😱
Dayton Triangles (1919-1930)
Brooklyn Dodgers (1930-1945)
Merged with Boston Yanks (1945-1949)
New York Bulldogs (1949-1950)
New York Yanks (1950-1952)
Dallas Texans (1952-1953)
Baltimore Colts (1953-1984)
Indianapolis Colts (1984-Present)
I knew about the Dallas Texans but I didn’t know about the prior history.
Lol in the 40s they thought having a team called the Yanks play in Fenway was smart?
That is some cool history. I think the Giants used to be the Titans? I think.
The present day Colts franchise is considered to have been founded in 1953 with no connection to the prior Baltimore Colts franchise.
> Since their return to the league the Colts are considered to have begun play in 1953, and are not a continuation of the original Colts, Yanks, Texans or any other franchise.
