re: #258 opnion
The Cardinals started in Chicago as a weak sister to the Bears.
They were so cash poor thet the University of Chicago Maroons donated their practce jersys for the Cards to use as game jersys.
They had been washed so much that they became cardinal red, ergo Chicago Cardinals.
Wotta Maroon!

Were the UC Maroons primitive forebears of the Texas Aggies?
