During WWII, the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers combined and were called the Phil-Pitt Steagles.


  • 1902 Philadelphia Phillies (original National Football League)

  • 1902 Philadelphia Athletics (original National Football League)

  • 1924 Frankford Yellow Jackets (National Football League)

  • 1933 Philadelphia Eagles (same team, new owner, new name) (NFL)

  • 1943 Due to a player shortage caused by WW II, the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers temporarily merged into a single team, playing under the name of Eagles. The team was often referred to in the vernacular as the Steagles; however, the official NFL record book simply lists them as "Phil-Pitt" (NFL)
