The Steagles were the result of a merger between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles during the 1943 NFL season. Due to WWII military service
player personnel for both teams was scarce. An order to defeat this conflict the two teams merged. Their record was 5-4-1.
Although "Steagles" was never registered as an official NFL trademark (the offical
name was simply the Eagles) this was the
popular nickname regarding the team.
