Pro Football Historian (PFH) is a blog page written by Flint Given. Pro Football Historian or PFH is a page to inform people on prior NFL events that people might not know about. Learning about teams from the 1920s or even the first few NFL World Championships in the 1930s fascinates me. It's these kinds of events that I want to discuss in this blog. Hopefully you are interested and will continue to check up on my blogs.

Who Were The Detroit Maroons?
The Detroit Maroons were a team founded in 1914. The team played home games in Detroit, Michigan usually at Mack Park. The team is most known for playing the Detroit Heralds/Tigers who was an APFA team. Majority of the Maroons games were played in Michigan but some games the team played were in New York. In 1920, the team went 3-3-1, in all their wins the team shutout their opponent but in all their loses the Maroons were shutout. The team tied the Detroit Heralds in a 7-7 score in the last game. In 1921, the Maroons went 4-2-1. In both their losses the Maroons were shutout and similar to 1920, against the Detroit Tigers (same franchise as the Heralds) the team had another tie, the game ended in a scoreless tie. The last records of the Maroons date back to the early 1920's when the team probably folded. According to some articles the team became professional football champions of Michigan, most likely a result of the Detroit Herald/Tigers folding after the 1921 season making no franchise playing in the NFL in 1922.
