Being from NJ I remember the Meadowlands stadium being built, but I forgot about the short-lived "New Jersey" Giants name. What an uproar that caused.

I remember that too but I have a question for Rob/Fball guy - that Jersey Giants pennant is obviously pre-Meadowlands (Katcavage, Tarkenton, et al.) why were they called the Jersey Giants?
Also Rob, I saw your Lions pennant and thought you might like to see this one. I don't own it any longer but if I remember my research, I think this is from the one year the Lions didn't play at Briggs in the 40s, hence the little space and the set-back letter L. Thought you'd like to see.
