TRU STatus Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Card-Pitt was the name for the team created by the temporary merger of two National Football League (NFL) teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Cardinals, during the 1944 season. The teams were forced to merge, because both had lost many players to World War II military service. After the season, the merger was dissolved and with the war over by the start of the following season, traditional operations resumed for both teams. Together, the two teams did poorly as the combined team finished with a 0-10 record in the Western Division. Sportswriters called the team the "Car-Pitts" (carpets).[1] Previously in 1943, the Steelers had combined with the Philadelphia Eagles as the "Steagles". Love it Steagles See i get it now They do not look at the past because they never had one of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
