Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 ok.... and where are we going with this thread?since there isn't much to derail here, I do want to ask and I don't know if this has been done to death or not but is there any legit logos of the Portsmouth Spartans? I've done Yahoo and Google searches and come up with very little about the franchise never mind logos or uniforms. Kinda curious about the Staleys, and Yellowjackets as well. Spoilers!

Gothamite Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If that's where you were going with this thread, it's in the wrong section. ok.... and where are we going with this thread?since there isn't much to derail here, I do want to ask and I don't know if this has been done to death or not but is there any legit logos of the Portsmouth Spartans? I've done Yahoo and Google searches and come up with very little about the franchise never mind logos or uniforms. Kinda curious about the Staleys, and Yellowjackets as well. Not to my knowledge. I don't think there are any legit NFL logos as we would understand them until the late 30s, if that. And even then it's probably just wordmarks off letterhead and the like.

JackieMoon Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Poor Lions use to be in Portsmouth. If you have never been to Portsmouth, Ohio you aren't missing much. The town is riddled with abandoned early 1900's factories, and the whole place is practically a ghetto. But, the stadium still stands to this day lol.

jgiff17 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 My family is from up there and yes many of the cities around there have gone down with the companies moving out kinda like a precursor to what Detroit has become just on a larger scale or from what I can tell by the news. But there still stands spartan stadium. Also down the road some is tank stadium where the ironton tanks played, awesome logo by the way. I think ironton and Ashland have made it through somehow but most of that area is not a reflection of what I visualize when I hear the old stories. Either way I'm glad I was uprooted before the age of one to the great state of Texas and the city of Houston where there seems to be no end in sight for growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done Yahoo and Google searches and come up with very little about the franchise never mind logos or uniforms. Kinda curious about the Staleys, and Yellowjackets as well. At http://logoserver.com/NFL.html, there are a couple of Spartans logos. I'm not positive that they're legitimate, though.

BBTV Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I do not believe Frankford and Philadelphia are the same franchise.I believe you are correct. Otherwise the "est 1933" wouldn't be accurate. What I don't get is why the team wore the Frankford uniforms the first season or so before going green. I guess because they essentially bought all the yellow jackets stuff.
