Frankford Yellow Jackets

The Frankford Yellow Jackets were a team in the National Football League. Frankford is a section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Yellow Jackets played in the NFL from 1924 to 1931. They won the NFL title in 1926.

The team often played a grueling schedule of 15 to 20 games a season. Frequently, they would schedule an away game on Saturday and a home game on Sunday of the same weekend.

As pro football became a serious business, teams began to move to larger cities and away from the industrial and mining towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania which produced them in the first place. Some historians consider the Yellow Jackets the forerunners to the Philadelphia Eagles. The NFL treats them as two seperate teams.
