The Portsmouth Spartans were founded in 1929 and joined the National Football League for the 1930 season. Though their tenure was brief, lasting just six seasons until 1934, the Spartans made their mark as one of the NFL's first big traveling road teams.
Based in the small city of Portsmouth, Ohio, the Spartans had no major metropolitan area to draw fans. So they hit the road, barnstorming from city to city and playing in whatever stadiums they could book. This pioneering approach helped increased the NFL's footprint nationwide.
Led by star players like Glenn Presnell and Dutch Clark, the Spartans had some success, winning two NFL championship games in 1932 and 1933. But financial struggles forced the team to relocate to Detroit in 1934, where they were rebranded as the Detroit Lions.
While they were just a footnote, the Spartans' embrace of football's nomadic roots makes them a unique part of the sport's Origins. This vintage logo t-shirt celebrates their quirky place in pro football lore.
Made of a premium cotton blend, this retro tee comes in mens and womens sizes from S to 5XL. It's available in classic Portsmouth colors or other styles to suit your preferences. The distressed print gives it an authentically worn-in, vintage look and feel.
