NFL Jersey is one of the most popular sports jerseys and the National Football League is the most valuable and profitable sports business in the world. Do you know the history of the NFL? The National Football League was found in 1920. Several representatives of professional American football leagues and independent teams met at a Hupmobile dealership in Canton, Ohio. They formed a league-the American Professional Football Conference.It would be mostly an informal agreement to play a common schedule and name a champion at the end of each season of play. Two years later, the league renamed itself the National Football League. Only the Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals) currently were members of the NFL league in 1920.
As the league adopted progressively more formal organization, the league memberships gradually stabilized throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The first official championship game was held in 1933. Although the league stopped signing black players in 1927, the league reintegrated in 1946 following World War II. Then after World War II, the office of league President evolved into the more powerful Commissioner post, mirroring a similar move in Major League Baseball. Teams became more financially viable, the last team folding in 1952. The NFL was on its way to becoming one of the most popular sports leagues in the United States, when the season's NFL championship game became known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played" in 1958.
The American Football League was founded in 1959, known as the arival league. It forced the older NFL to merge together and that resulted in a greatly expanded league and the formation of the Super Bowl, which has become, annually, the most watched sporting event in the United States. The league continued to expand throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s to its current size of 32 teams. During the 1990s, a series of labor agreements has helped to avoid a major work stoppage.
