The Story Conceived by businessman David Dixon, who saw a market for a professional football league that would play in the summer, the USFL was one of the grandest failures in the history of American professional sports. Although many agree the product on the field was solid, most of the franchises faced financial problems and instability from the beginning due to poor ticket sales and bloated player salaries (there was no salary cap). In addition, some franchises had difficulty securing leases in stadiums that were also used by NFL teams, forcing them to scramble to find alternate venues which in some cases turned out to be the team's downfall (i.e. the Boston Breakers playing at BU's soccer field).
After an embarrassing lawsuit led by Donald Trump (owner of the New Jerseys Generals) against the NFL, the USFL folded after only 3 seasons. What we're left with are some incredible 80's-style uniforms and team logos to look back on and, most importantly, one of the best league logos of all time (which is gracing this t-shirt).

Debuting in the inaugural season of the USFL, the Boston Breakers were the city's spring/summer season pro football club. After being rejected to play at Boston's tow best stadiums of the time ( Sullivan Stadium, home of the Patriots, and Harvard Stadium), the team settled on Nickerson Field at Boston University.
Despite fielding a fairly solid team (they went 11-7 that season), playing in Nickerson doomed the team in Boston. It was so small that the Breakers lost money even when they sold out, as visiting teams got a portion of the gate proceeds. When the Breakers were unable to secure a lease in any of the larger stadiums in the Boston area following the season, the team was moved to New Orleans.

"The Chicago Blitz were a hard working group of guys. I enjoyed it. The only problem was, the man who bought the team never paid anybody, including the coaches. We had to chip in to buy toilet paper for the restrooms."
- Marv Levy, former Chicago Blitz head coach
One of the original 12 United States Football League franchises, the Chicago Blitz were one of the strongest teams in the USFL's inaugural season, finishing tied for first place in their division. But despite their success on the field, they averaged only 18,100 fans that season (the league average was about 30,000). As a result, the Blitz became part of what many call the craziest trade in sports history.
In the seasons to follow, attendance only decreased, which prompted the ownership group, who was losing millions of dollars each season, to finally give up and sold the team to the league for pennies on the dollar. The team folded for good prior to the 1986 season.

Steven Arnold ran out of dough and unloaded the team to new investors in Shreveport, Louisiana, where the team moved in mid-season 1974. The Texans’ best crowd – announced at 31,227 on August 15, 1974 – turned out for Nickel Beer Night at the Astrodome. In the Texans’ most infamous episode, owner Steve Arnold interjected himself into a contract dispute between the NFL’s Houston Oilers and gargantuan defensive end John Matuszak, the #1 overall pick in the 1973 NFL Draft. Claiming to have found a loophole in his Oilers contract, Matuszak bolted across town to the Texans’ offices on August 28th, 1974 and signed a multi-year deal. He suited up for the Texans at the Astrodome that night against the New York Stars and played five downs before sheriff’s deputies showed up and served him with a restraining order on the sidelines. That marked the beginning and end of The Tooz’s WFL adventure. He was back in the NFL a month or so later.

Only in the 1970s would a pro football team wear magenta and orange - and that's exactly what the Southern California Sun of the World Football League hit the field with in 1974. Their good looks seemed to work as the Sun had two winning seasons in the only two years that the WFL existed - even winning the Western Division title in 1974. Had the WFL been more of a success, the Sun would have been a viable club.

In 1973, California attorney Gary Davidson, who’d helped to found both the ABA and WHA, had an idea for a pro football league that could bring more jobs for players unable to crack an NFL or CFL roster, offer cheaper rates for franchises than the NFL's $16 million price tag, and would revolutionize scoring with new offensive rules guaranteed to eclipse the field goal addictions crimping most NFL contests. 1974 saw the World Football League hit the fields across America. in 1975...it folded.

Debuting in the inaugural season of the USFL, the Boston Breakers were the city's spring/summer season pro football club. After being rejected to play at Boston's tow best stadiums of the time ( Sullivan Stadium, home of the Patriots, and Harvard Stadium), the team settled on Nickerson Field at Boston University.
Despite fielding a fairly solid team (they went 11-7 that season), playing in Nickerson doomed the team in Boston. It was so small that the Breakers lost money even when they sold out, as visiting teams got a portion of the gate proceeds. When the Breakers were unable to secure a lease in any of the larger stadiums in the Boston area following the season, the team was moved to New Orleans.

The upstart World Football League (1974-1975) made its debut in the Big Apple in Week 2 of the league’s inaugural season of 1974. WFL founder and Commissioner Gary Davidson hoped that his league would become a formidable rival to the NFL, much as the AFL had in the 1960’s. Another model was the World Hockey Association (1972-1979), co-founded by Davidson in 1971, which had already become a thorn in the side of the National Hockey League by challenging the established circuit for top free agents and expansion markets. To be relevant, Davidson needed the WFL to work in major media markets like New York City. But the New York Stars, a franchise given away for free by Davidson to one of his World Hockey Association connections, turned out to be one of the WFL’s biggest misfires.

The Detroit Wheels failed to complete their first and only season in the start-up World Football League during the autumn of 1974. The Wheels’ misadventures and financial problems became a point of national embarrassment for the WFL – although far from the only one – as the new league tried to establish itself as a reputable competitor to the National Football League, as the AFL had done in the 1960’s. The Wheels lost their first 10 games of the season. On September 11, 1974 the Wheels travelled to Orlando and shocked the Florida Blazers 15-14 for the first and only win in franchise history. The Blazers, coached by Jack Pardee, were one of the WFL’s best teams and would later appear in the 1974 championship game. The Wheels lost their next three to drop to 1-13 before the club’s financial problems sunk the club. The WFL folded the team on October 10th, 1974, cancelling the six remaining games on Detroit’s schedule. The WFL itself folded a little over a year later in October 1975.

The Sharks were one of the original franchises of the World Football League, a failed attempt to launch a major professional football league in the United States in competition with the National Football League. In 1974, the team played seven home games at the Gator Bowl Stadium in Jacksonville. The Sharks roster was a mixture of rookies such as Mike Townsend, Eddie McAshan and Reggie Oliver, and veterans like Ike Lassiter, John Stofa, Drew Buie, and former University of Florida All-American lineman Larry Gagner. Six weeks into the season, the team had a 2-4 record, and owner Fran Monaco fired head coach Bud Asher, replacing him with Charlie Tate. Results did not improve, as the Sharks went 2-6 in their remaining games.
