Have you ever wondered how every NFL team got its name? Well I did too!
I wanted to know how every Football Name changed through the years, so I decided to take an unreasonably long time to research each team and create this video. Hopefully you learn a thing or two, too! Each team is listed in the order that they were founded or became a part of the NFL. And since location plays a huge role in the team name (like 50%) I also hit every move as a part of this video!

I like to think that in some alternate universe, Phil-Pitt never disbanded, and the Pennsylvania Steagles play in central Pennsylvania with a metallic, hammer-wielding bald eagle as their mascot.
Sounds like something out of the new Dr. Strange! Love the sound of it!
@@JustinLearnsThings One person that I know on Discord has an alternate universe where the Winnipeg Jets were put to sleep in 1996, with the Coyotes debuting as an expansion team. In this universe, the Thrashers never existed (he didn’t like them), so some players (Patrik Stefan and Ilya Kovalchuk, for example) were instead drafted by the teams they played with afterwards. In this universe, the Jets were restored in 2011, after sleeping for 15 years. Which begs more questions than answers. For example:
What about Bryan Little? He played his entire career with the Thrashers/Jets organization.
What about team records? The Jets 2.0’s franchise history also includes the Thrashers, and the Jets 1.0’s history is owned by the Coyotes.
No God no why lol
I feel like that probably wasn't allowed to happen because so many people would root for them lol.
I like to mix sports teams so this sounds like something I would do
Fun fact: the Minnesota Vikings were the first professional sports team to be named after a state and not a city. However the Minnesota Twins which moved to Minnesota at around the same time were the first team named after a state to actually play a game because their season started before the Vikings did.
Yeah they're both the worst franchises ever can't win
@@markantinozzi8657 As a Packers fan I support this message
Wouldnt New York count?
@@aidanmcgaugh5419 New York is short for New York City. I live in NJ. To avoid confusion with the rest of the state of NY we say things like " I'm going to Manhattan" or "My Uncle lives in Brooklyn". We usually mentioned the area of the city by Borough or neighborhood. Like "the best food is in Manhattan's Chinatown" or "stay out of Flatbush, Brooklyn".

A little more about the Bengals. Yes, the modern Bengals were named after a team from the 30s but that original team got its name because the Cincinnati Zoo had recently received some Bengal Tigers. Almost no zoos in America had tigers at the time so it became a huge tourist attraction. Very interesting video. I learned a lot. I think the most interesting story was the Tennessee Titans. I didn’t know the relationship between Nashville and Athens. I can't believe you didn't mention how the Saints only became a team in New Orleans because Congress had to pass a new law to permit the leagues to merge to avoid anti-trust laws, and the two Congressmen instrumental in passing that law were both representing Louisiana and wanted a team in their state. So glad you have every league. It's very interesting and informative. I grew up across the st. from Joe Madro then Sid Gillman's Oline coach. I used to play with his two sons, he'd draw up plays for us in his backyard yard fun times. When Barron Hilton brought Gilman and his staff over from the Rams Joe told us that the Chargers got their name from Hilton having to use his CC to pay for everything. Now, I'm not going to say the old ' Charge ' wasn't the reason but I kinda like this one as well, BTFU....Aloha That is crazy St.Louis had an NFL team named the Cardinals and an MLB team named the Cardinals Fun fact: The NFL St.Louis Cardinals were often named the Big Red As a Steelers fan, I find it amusing how our biggest historical rival managed to mutate and replicate itself twice. All the teams in the AFC North, aside from the Steelers, are the result of the actions of Art Modell. He fired Paul Brown as head coach of the Browns, to which the latter created the Bengals in retaliation, going so far as to use old Browns uniforms in their initial days of operation. And then there's the whole Browns/Ravens saga. I find it pretty funny how many early football franchise owners just decided to name their team the exact same name as the MLB franchise already in their city. Must've made for some confusing August/September conversations: "Hey buddy, you wanna go to the Giants game?" | "Sure, who are they playing?" | "The Cardinals" | "Cool, I wonder how many runs they'll score" | "Uh... runs?" I believe part of the reason the Tennessee Titans chose the name 'Titans' is also a nod to the New York Titans (Jets). Also part of the reason for choosing Houston Texans is a nod to the Dallas Texans (now KC Chiefs)
Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
You seem like someone who never stops talking
A few years back the Jets played the Titans in throwback uniforms. So it was effectively Titans vs the Oilers...but the team wearing Titan uniforms were not the Titans...that one was a bit weird on the surface but also cool.
That is a bit trippy! 😂
Explanation
Jets were named the Titans in their first ever years
Titans we’re Oilers when they were in Houston
@@ConPlayz-dp7bkwe know, we watched the video
The quality in these videos are insane! Really great work on these I loved the MLS one!
Thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed them!
1) The Chargers original name is “Super Chargers”.
2) The AAFC Buffalo Bills we’re originally named after a barber shop singing group from the area. The modern Bills were named after the traveling show “Wild Buffalo Bill” due to Ralph Wilson loving the show as a child.
Would be cool if the old logos were included. I know that would be a lot of work but I think it would be cool to see. Great work on these!
Yeah I think I would like to do a future video about how the logos were designed and changed over time, but haven’t quite gotten my mind around that one yet!!
I get a chuckle from the fact that the WWII-era combo team Card-Pitt was informally known as the “Carpets” because they were so bad that other teams walked over them on the field.
It's crazy how much depth the ravens name and culture has compared to other teams in the NFL.
Yeah a lot of the NFL names aren't as clearly outlined purposefully as the ravens!
A little more about the Bengals. Yes the modern Bengals were named after a team from the 30s but that original team got its name because the Cincinnati Zoo had recently received some Bengal Tigers. Almost no zoos in America had tigers at the time so it became a huge tourist attraction.
Super interesting! Thank you!
I believe the zoo was particularly popular for its rare white bengal tigers too
So glad you have every league. It's very interesting and informing.
Thanks! Even more to come (hopefully soon!)

Very happy you mentioned my favorite NFL team the New York Giants
He mentioned every team, so why wouldn't he mention the Giants?
The Bears named themselves after the Cubs and based their COLORS on George Halas' alma mater Univesity of Illinois. That's how you use resources around you.
Thanks for watching!
@@JustinLearnsThings yeah, good video.
Talking about Names your channel name is Awesome.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
Another great video this time my team came up only 14mins in so not to long great info too

😂🙌
Another reason Minnesota was named the Vikings (other than it's high Scandinavian population) was because of the idea that Vikings might have come there in 1362. (The Vikings Runestone that was found in Northern Minnesota in 1898.) Least wise, as a Vikes fan, I always thought that might have played a part in the name as well.
Seems like it'd be a pretty interesting video itself!
@@JustinLearnsThings Yep, there are some good vids on it. Here's a short vid that gives it's basic history: ua-cam.com/video/Uo2nHmGcV_U/v-deo.html
Highly unlikely. They would of had to sail there ships up Niagara falls.
@@TheMrPeteChannel ... their* ships.
The Vikings had already vanished by the end of the 11th Century. So whoever might have come to MN by the end of the 14th most-likely were not Vikings.
I thought this video would have more 10 million views. You will get there bro
Thanks for the kind words man!
Hi, me again. Thank you for all of these videos I just binged haha! Your research is awesome and all of this has taught me alot. Pretty cool!
Thanks so much for checking them all out! 🙌
Another great video
Thanks for checking it out!! 🙌
Great job on the video.
Thanks for checking it out!
The Chicago Bears/Decatur Staleys were founded in 1919 actually, and played independently, THEN joined the APFA in 1920.
Also, the Detroit Lions/Portsmouth Spartans were founded in 1928, but, again, played independently until 1930, when they joined the NFL.

Somehow, Washington went from having the worst name ever to the worst name ever.
😂
It's such a stupid name and it doesn't even sound good. They should have called them the "Reds" so it stayed similar. They also could have used "Hogs" since many fans wear pig noses (or at least used to).
How is the Redskins the worst name ever when it was originally given by the Indians
@@justen.d.sblackburn6701 That's not what I meant. What I meant was they went from Football Team to Commanders
@@ColoradoSportsFan178 I truly believe they should still be the Redskins
Sweet vid!
Thanks for checking it out!
Very interesting video. I learned a lot. I think the most interesting story was the Tennessee Titans. I didn’t know the relationship between Nashville and Athens.
Yeah I found that pretty interesting as well!! Thanks for checking out the video!
i forget where but there's a full-fledged recreation of the Parthenon in Tennessee.
TITAN UP! ⚔️
I grew up across the st. from Joe Madro then Sid Gillman's Oline coach. I use to play with his two sons, he'd draw up plays for us in his back yard fun times. When Barron Hilton brought Gilman and his staff over from the Rams Joe told us that the Chargers got their name from Hilton having to use his CC to pay for everything.

Haha I like that origin story for the chargers! Pretty funny! Thanks for sharing!
You could argue that keeping the Colts name makes sense as there's another famous race that has horsepower in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis 500
Definitely! Fits in too with the pacers and racing based names!
Kinda like the San Diego rockets moving to Houston
I believe part of the reason the Tennessee Titans chose the name 'Titans' is also a nod to the New York Titans (Jets). Also part of the reason in choosing Houston Texans is a nod to the Dallas Texans (now KC Chiefs)
Good point!!
There was also an old 1970s WFL (World Football Leauge) team in Houston called the Texans.
As a Steelers fan, I find it amusing how our biggest historical rival managed to mutate and replicate itself twice. All the teams in the AFC North, aside from the Steelers, are the result of the actions of Art Modell. He fired Paul Brown as head coach of the Browns, to which the latter created the Bengals in retaliation, going so far as to use old Browns uniforms in their initial days of operation. And then there's the whole Browns/Ravens saga.
Haha it’s like an 70s horror film where the blob that keeps spreading 🤣
short version - a naming contest was held.. said team name won
Lol like half the time! 🤣
I love that historically teams like the Cardinals and Steelers intentionally aligned their team name with their at the time shared stadium tenants without issue but then when it came to naming the Cowboys in the 1960s they avoided Rangers because *Lord FORBID* we get mixed up with the *minor league* baseball team of the same name what *blasphemy!* We mustn’t cross that line that’s *TOOOO farrr!*
Will you do WNBA team names and CFL team names as well?
Yeah absolutely! Those are great ideas that I hadn’t even thought of, but I will definitely add them to the list! Thanks for the suggestion!
That is crazy St.Louis had a NFL team named the Cardinals and a MLB team named the Cardinals
Fun fact: The NFL St.Louis Cardinals were often named the Big Red
I think they still are called the Big Red sometimes, like in AZ sports radio
They were also called the "Gridbirds" and "Football Cardinals" in St. Louis.
New York had this as well with the Giants.
It gets even sillier. There was a baseball team in St Louis called the Browns that existed for several years at the same time as the Cleveland Browns. They had no relation.
The St Louis Cardinals were previously called the St Louis Browns, but had no relation to the football team or the other baseball team.
The St Louis Browns eventually moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles. The Cleveland Browns eventually moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens.
Crazier still both the football and baseball Cardinals played in Busch Stadium
I would have liked Houston Gamblers, which was the USFL team.
Ditto
Im an Eagles fan and i never knew they took inspiration from the New Deal/NRA. That's so awesome, thank you president Roosevelt!
Cleveland here. I have nothing else to say lol
Fun Fact: The Raven’s mascot Poe was also named after Edgar Allen Poe
Nice! Thanks for checking out the video!
I mean, that's a pretty obvious. It doesn't need to be explained.
The way I heard it was the bugle at Dodger stadium that led to the naming of Chargers
I have always liked historical nicknames.
Still mad about the Colts...
I would have loved it if Dallas had gone with the name “Steers.” It would be so easy to make fun of them because a steer is a bull with its balls cut off.
What rhymes with Steers?
@@eaglefang8656 kweers

Do all college teams that video will never end
I keep thinking about it, but yeah that would be a suuuuuper long video lol
Break it up by conferences
Nice job on this video. Your description for the Chargers is only half right. While yes that it is true "Charge" yell. The other part of the naming comes from Barron Hilton. He loved the medieval sport of Jousting. So the name Chargers comes from the type of horse used in the sport. Charger.
Refer to the original logo that depicts this horse.
Nice Thanks for the context!
Also, founder Barron Hilton was involved in a new credit card business.
My Godfather is from Dallas, his dad owned “Pyland Fries”- a stand outside of the Cotton Bowl, they would do basically a paper bag full of potato fries for a dollar.
Nice! My mom's side is mostly from the DFW area. Her grandfather owned a place called Sammy's BBQ if I remember correctly!
All the logos of the Browns....lol
My grandfather designed the original Atlanta design. I have the initial design and interaction with the owner
Dang that’s really cool!!
I can't believe you didn't mention how the Saints only became a team in New Orleans because the Congress had to pass a new law to permit the leagues to merge to avoid anti-trust laws, and the two Congressmen instrumental in passing that law were both representing Louisiana and wanted a team in their state.
Dang I missed that! That's really interesting though! I think that could be a good short video in itself!
0:15 That looks like a team fit for Red from angry birds.
hahah thanks for watching man!
I hope Washington goes with the name Renegades. The Washington Renegades makes sense and you get to keep the R and logo!
Renegades has a cool ring to it! I’ve also seen red-tails as a possibility for the Tuskegee Airmen, but just all rumor at this point!!

I had to look over at my screen on Houston when listing the other name wild cat-terds.
Really interesting to see how many NFL team names were originally tied to their baseball counterparts. In addition to paying tribute to the team who they may have shared a stadium with, I wonder if that was also done to combat the perception that football was a “barbarian” sport in early 20th century society, while the perception of baseball had improved significantly to one of a more “classy” sport…especially after appointing a commissioner after the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
Yeah really interesting how teams were tied together like that!
No where close to a Texans fan but I am glad they went with that over "Houston Energy"
That is somehow lamer than the Commanders
Yeah definitely doesn’t fit the other NFL names!
The original Cleveland Browns team moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens.

Wait the Houston team considered calling themselves the Challengers?
As in the Space Shuttle Challenger? Points for keeping the city naming theme, but jesus that's morbid.
There's a reason you don't see teams called Titanics or Atomic Blast.
I didn't know that the Saints get their name for All Saint's Day (11/1?)😮😮😮
Houston Colt 45s sounds so sick
The houston astros started out with that too!
Thomas Hale Boggs Sr. was an American Democratic Party politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was the House majority leader and a member of the Warren Commission. Wikipedia He sat on the committee that decided on the AFL-NFL merger and got New Orleans a franchise. We got a lot of streets named Saint, St. Charles Avenue St. Ann, Street, Saint Bernard Avenue
St. Claude Avenue
St. Louis Street
St. Peter Street
St. Philip Street
It’s really interesting how big of role he played in shaping football!
There are 3 teams from the old AAFC that still exist, the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and the San Francisco 49ers.
The Indianapolis Colts are not the same as the AAFC-NFL Colts. The original Colts failed after the 1950 season. The new Colts were founded in 1953 when Carroll Rosenbloom and others purchased the assets of the defunct Dallas Texans. The only thing the teams had in common was the name.
Boston Braves / Milwaukee Braves /Atlanta Braves
So a lot of the reason why the original teams were based off of their baseball counterparts is because football wasn’t popular enough to hold its own games, so they would be opening acts for baseball games.
Thanks dude..I guess just be ready to update Washington..and for a bunch of people to get mad at you as if you’re the one who made them change their name😒
I’m Cherokee/black
But everyone is different
Just because I’m Cherokee/black doesn’t mean I speak for all of us
But here is my PERSONAL opinion
I never understood why I can be referred to as black, or white, but not red? If you saw me in real life you wouldn’t immediately recognize me as black, or native. Red never bothered me nor redskin
BUT THATS JUST ME
However
Don’t call me an Indian.
I’m not Indian
I’m not from India
I have no relatives from India
Just because some explorer THOUGHT he landed in the WEST INDIES doesn’t mean he can just arbitrarily miss name an entire nation of people.
I can’t sail to what I assume to be Japan, land in Cuba, and start calling everyone Japanese
Thanks for sharing man!! Yeah I will have to be ready for an update video for sure!
The "Houston Colt 45s" is crazy lmao
😂
The Cardinals were called "the Big Red" while they were in St. Louis; the nickname didn't make the move with them.
They do actually do use 'Big Red' a bit now, mostly their mascot name!
25:40 wow all those names are better than "let's name our team after the people who live in our state".
Houston toros sounds cool. Texans doesn’t do it for me personally
I like the Roughnecks. I agree, the Texans name makes sense, but it just doesn't feel right for some reason. It hasn't since day 1.
@@olliecrow3547 might was be Houston Texas People.
Rather Houston OILERS
You can call the Washington team; the red commandos. The Eagles were also called the Frankfurt yellow jackets.
The Frankfort Yellow Jackets have no relation to the Eagles. I have heard that the franchise that was the Yellow Jackets was sold to a new ownership group that became the Eagles; but they weren't the same team.
You messed up the Ravens/Browns thing.
I get the Houston owner not wanting to reuse another horse image, but there are so many original names out there that would have fit for a team name with Houston's history. The Texans? That's almost as generic as The Washington Football Team waiting on a new name.
Wow $100 us in the early 1900's buys alot back then
I know right!
That was less than a Ford Model T!
Houston Colt 45's has some ring to it
It honestly does!
We're all missing out on the Houston Colt 45s
Go back to the MLB video
I’m pretty sure he mentions the

The Houston Colt 45's is 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it has a good ring to it!
That was the original name for the Houston Astros also
This guy sounds like Michael J Fox. That's not an insult or a compliment. Just an observation.
haha this is my favorite comment of all time! Love Michael J Fox!
Houston Texans is what they agreed upon but Texas had cfl team need the San antonio Texans. also Washington named their team the commanders which again San Antonio had a team named the commanders front the usfl.
Thanks for watching!
Anddddddd. The 1970s WFL had a team called The Houston Texans. There was also an Arena Football team called the Dallas Texans in the 1990s.
The Seattle Seahawks name was copied from an area high school... the Anacortes Seahawks. The Seahawk name was originally copied from the title of a popular novel in the 1920's. The book title was the name of a pirate ship in the novel. The Seahawk novel was later made into a movie of the same name.
The AAFC in 1946 had a one year team called The Miami Seahawks.
That is true and the Miami Seahawks moved to Baltimore and became the first incarnation of the Baltimore Colts. They became an NFL team in 1950 and folded after that season.
@@richstrobel They moved to Baltimore in 1947. And so the 49ers and Browns were 1946 teams. They both had gaudy uniforms.
Why are so many of these teams former names meant to match thier cities MLB teams?
Good Question! I would guess that the most common reasons were they either shared facilities to begin with, they shared some amount of ownership at the time, or during the earlier years of the league, they wanted the credibility of being associated with already established sports teams in the city. I haven't looked at it too much, but those are the ideas that first come to mind as potential reasons! I'll have to do some reading!
@@JustinLearnsThings Well thanks for giving me a few reasons!
and then, in 2022 the football team changed its name to the commanders!
REDSKINS ! Allways were and will be
$100 to buy the Bears? I wonder how much $100 was back in 1921. Obviously not as close as an NFL franchise costs.
Looks like it was around 1,615.13, so definitely not that much by comparison!
According to George Halas, no one ever paid the $100 entry fee.

Too bad that both the NFL and CFL doesn't merge together.
Which rules would you keep? I know only a bit about the CFL, but the running behind the line of scrimmage seems fun!
... NFL and CFL don't* merge.
You know, if Las Vegas didn't get the Oakland Raiders, I would imagine they would have a team that matched the Vegas Golden Knights of the NHL, and they would call it the Las Vegas Centurions.
I could definitely see a team with matching branding to the Golden Knights! That'd be really fitting!
How did the commanders name come about?
I made a follow up video about the commanders name: ua-cam.com/video/275Aui2dymU/v-deo.html
That name sucks! Redskins is way better! Not racist at all! Only racists seem to have problem with it and are canceling native Indians in a way!
So the LA chargers are the first football team founded in LA, aka the true LA team
Haha true!
The only original LA teams are the Chargers, Kings and Angels. The Angels play in Anaheim, and the rest of the LA teams came from elsewhere.
@@tygrkhat4087 Orginaly the Kings played in Inglewood but now play in LA proper. The Angels used to play in LA proper but moved to Anaheim.
Weird Mandela effect I guess but for some reason I thought the colts were located in Texas or Tennessee
Oh interesting! Yeah I could see that maybe something with like the oilers and their color scheme?
The Chicago Bears were owned by George S. "Papa Bear" Halas, who left it to his daughter Virginia Halas McCaskey upon his death. At the time of this comment, she is the oldest NFL team owner, having just celebrated her 100th birthday on January 5.
Oh wow! That’s incredible the ownership has stayed so consistent! I had no idea!
1 team. Only 2 owners over 100 years. D@mn.
And the way they have meddled with the Bear is should be called mis-management.
The "Washington Football Team" is now called the "Washington Commanders".
Thanks for checking out the video! I made a small follow up video for the name change on my channel!
I think better name Washington Communists
Should’ve named the Texans, the rough riders 😂 just cause lol
