I am looking for expert historians that are willing to come on the Pigskin Daily History Dispatch Podcast and tell us about the history of pre-WWII pro teams.

Re: Historical Broadcasts

I believe that Gridiron-Uniforms.com posts this information as well as the uniforms the teams were wearing during the game. These guys do a great job! http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/co ... ction=main
