Celebrate a piece of football history with our Akron Pros 1920 Champion Ohio Football Team T-shirt. This vintage-inspired tee pays homage to one of the most intriguing teams in the early days of professional football.
The Akron Pros, founded in 1908, rose to prominence in 1920 as inaugural champions of the American Professional Football Association (later renamed the NFL). Their success was fueled by a talented roster and the leadership of player-coach Fritz Pollard, one of the first African American coaches in pro football. Despite their initial triumph, the team's glory was short-lived. Financial struggles and the rise of larger market teams led to the Pros' dissolution after the 1926 season, leaving behind a legacy as fleeting as it was impactful.
Our t-shirt features a distressed, cracked logo on the front, capturing the essence of this historic team with an authentic vintage feel. The back remains blank, allowing the focus to remain on the iconic Akron Pros design.
Crafted from 100% preshrunk heavy cotton, this Gildan 5000 shirt offers both comfort and durability. With a weight of 5.3 oz, it provides a substantial feel without sacrificing breathability. The classic unisex fit ensures a flattering look for all body types, while the tear-away label adds to the overall comfort.
Available in sizes S through 5XL and a variety of popular colors, this shirt is perfect for football history buffs, vintage sports enthusiasts, or anyone looking to make a unique fashion statement. Whether you're attending a game, heading to a sports bar, or just lounging at home, this Akron Pros tee is sure to spark conversations about a fascinating chapter in football history.
