The Hammond Pros, established in 1917, were one of the original teams to join the American Professional Football Association (later renamed the NFL) in 1920. Based in Hammond, Indiana, this team played a significant role in the formative years of the league. Despite never hosting a home game and struggling on the field, the Pros were notable for being one of the first NFL teams to field African-American players, making them trailblazers in the sport's history.
Our t-shirt features a distressed, cracked logo on the front, capturing the essence of this historic team with an authentic vintage feel. The aged appearance of the design evokes the spirit of 1920s football, while the blank back keeps the focus on the iconic Hammond Pros imagery.
