The Story

 Originally the Memphis Pros (arguable the least creative team in professional sports), In 1972, the team was purchased by Charles O. Finley, who also owned the Oakland A's and former NHL team Calfornia Golden Seals. In an attempt to drive some interest, they hosted a "Rename the Team" contest, with the TAMs winning the vote.  The nickname was an acronym for Tennessee – Arkansas – Mississippi, and the logo was a tam o'shanter-style hat in white, green and gold, which were also the new team colors, shared with the Athletics and Golden Seals.

The Story

The Memphis Rogues played at the Liberty Bowl from 1978 to 1980 before eventually folding in 1980. Even though the Memphis Rogues won the Semifinals in the NASL Indoor Western Division in 1979, it wasn't enough to keep the white and red in Memphis. With players like Tony Burns & Bobby Thomson donning the white and red in Memphis, the Memphis Rogues should have been able to fill seats. The reality however was much different and with low attendance, the Memphis Rogues soon folded and became no more.

The Story

After his Memphis Tams posted the worst record in all of pro basketball during the 1973-74 season, team owner Charlie Finley refused to pay any more bills. The ABA itself was keeping the operation afloat. After four years of futility, it seemed impossible that a Memphis ABA franchise could continue, but with an ABA/NBA merger imminent, ABA Commissioner Mike Storen decided to step in. Given his past success building successful franchises in Indiana and Kentucky, Storen felt that he could turn around the Memphis franchise and make it viable for the NBA. 

Storen found several new local investors for the team (including Isaac Hayes and Al Wilson of Stax Records and Kemmons Wilson of Holiday Inn) and gave the franchise a complete facelift, including the nickname which he changed to the "Sounds." 

Despite making the playoffs, it was looking to finally be the end of the line for the ABA in Memphis. The league office gave the city of Memphis a strict deadline of June 1, 1975 to sell 4,000 season tickets, find new investors, and secure a more favorable lease at the Mid-South Coliseum. Predictably, none of this happened. The league took over the franchise and, in August 1975, the Sounds were sold to several businessmen in Baltimore who initially called their team the "Baltimore Hustlers" but then, with force from the league, changed to the "Baltimore Claws."

The Story

The Memphis Showboats played at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium from 1984 to 1986. With players like Greg Moser & Mike Kelley donning the scarlet and silver in Memphis, the Showboats were playing an old school style of football that the present NFL could learn a thing or two from. When the USFL lawsuit against the NFL crumbled in 1986, so too did the glory of the Memphis Showboats
