This is a far cry from the humble beginnings of the NFL over 100 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will explore the history of the NFL and discover the 10 oldest NFL franchises, tracing their origins back to the league&#8217;s early days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Original NFL Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NFL was formed in 1920 under the American Professional Football Association (APFA) name. The league was renamed the National Football League (NFL) in 1922. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There were 14 teams in the inaugural APFA season:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Akron Pros<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buffalo All-Americans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canton Bulldogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicago Cardinals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chicago Tigers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleveland Tigers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Columbus Panhandles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dayton Triangles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decatur Staleys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detroit Heralds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hammond Pros<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muncie Flyers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rochester Jeffersons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rock Island Independents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just two of the teams that played in this first season have been ever present in APFA or NFL history; the Chicago Cardinals (now Arizona Cardinals) and the Decatur Staleys (now Chicago Bears). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Oldest NFL Franchises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the oldest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/nfl\/\">NFL<\/a> franchises and their histories in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arizona Cardinals (1920)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The origins of the Arizona Cardinals can be traced back to 1898 Chicago and an amateur team called &#8220;Morgan Athletic Club&#8221;. The team would soon change names to the Chicago Cardinals, and by the time the NFL was formed in 1920, they were an established name in MidWestern professional football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cardinals joined 13 other teams to make up the first American Professional Football Association season in 1920, paying a $100 franchise fee to join. Despite several renamings and relocations, the team has been ever-present in the NFL since its formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team has been renamed seven times since 1899 and has been called the Racine Normals (1899\u20131900), Racine Cardinals (1901\u20131906; 1913\u20131919), Chicago Cardinals (1920\u20131943, 1945\u20131959), Card-Pitt (1944), St. Louis Cardinals (1960\u20131987), Phoenix Cardinals (1988\u20131993) and finally the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\/teams\/arizona-cardinals\/team-history\/\">Arizona Cardinals since 1994<\/a>. Despite being the oldest team in NFL history, the Cardinals have won just two NFL championships and have never won the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arizona-Cardinals.jpeg\" alt=\"Oldest NFL Team - Arizona Cardinals\" class=\"wp-image-36045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arizona-Cardinals.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arizona-Cardinals-480x320.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arizona-Cardinals-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image credit:\u00a0Joe Glorioso | All-Pro Reels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicago Bears (1920)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chicago Bears were known initially as the Decatur Staleys, and they played against the Chicago Cardinals in the first APFA season in 1920. They have played in every NFL since, making them the joint oldest NFL franchise with their former Chicago rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most original NFL teams, the Staleys were formed by the owner of a local company, A. E. Staley, and just a year after being founded, they joined what would become the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The franchise has been renamed three times, but unlike the Cardinals, it has never been relocated. The team has remained in Chicago since its formation. The franchise was known as the Decatur Staleys in 1920 and the Chicago Staleys in 1921 before being renamed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicago_Bears#Franchise_history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chicago Bears<\/a> in 1922 &#8211; a name they have kept ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite winning just one Super Bowl in 1985, the Bears enjoyed early success, winning eight NFL championships between 1921 and 1963.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chicago-Bears.png\" alt=\"Oldest NFL team - Chicago Bears\" class=\"wp-image-36059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chicago-Bears.png 800w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chicago-Bears-480x269.png 480w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chicago-Bears-420x235.png 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image credit:\u00a0FOX Sports, CC BY 3.0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Bay Packers (1921)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in the same year as their rivals, the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers entered the NFL in its second season in 1921, making it the third oldest NFL franchise. The Packers also have their origins in business and take their name from the Indian Packing Company, which sold canned meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green Bay has never relocated or changed names, and the franchise holds the distinction of being the sole NFL team <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Green_Bay_Packers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">owned by fans<\/a>. The franchise is also the most successful in all NFL history, winning a combined 13 NFL Championships and SuperBowls since joining the league in 1921.
