Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals Fan GearGot Arizona team spirit? The Arizona Cardinals based in Glendale, Arizona, just outside of Phoenix, is the oldest continuous professional American football team in the United States. Formed in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago. The team was renamed in 1920, after becoming a charter member of the NFL, to the Chicago Cardinals. In 1944, during World War II, they merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers and became one franchise for that one season. In 1960 the team moved to St. Louis, Missouri and became the St. Louis Cardinals, often referred to as the "Football Cardinals" or the "Grid Birds", and sometimes called "The Big Red". After an unsuccessful campaign for a new stadium in St. Louis, the team relocated to the Phoenix area in 1988, playing at Sun Devil Stadium in the suburb of Tempe. The team was then known as the Phoenix Cardinals changing to the Arizona Cardinals in 1994. While the Cardinals are currently one of six NFL teams never to have made a Super Bowl appearance. They have earned one NFL championship in 1947, while still based in Chicago, two decades before the first Super Bowl Game was played. |
