Factory Teams

Factory teams were especially popular in American industrial cities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, playing a key role in the early history of American professional sports. These teams were typically sponsored by businesses and factories, offering their workers a form of recreation and promoting the company name or brand.

Baseball was the most prominent sport for company teams, though teams also existed in football, basketball, and hockey. As company teams grew in popularity, it became common for factory teams to compete against other teams in the area, sometimes leading to local or regional championships. These games were often attended by large crowds, as they represented a community's pride and a source of entertainment for working-class families.

Green Bay Packers

The team was founded in 1919 by Earl "Curly" Lambeau, an employee of the Indian Packing Company, a meat packing plant. Lambeau secured a sponsorship from the company to cover the team’s expenses, filled a roster with employees, and Indian Packing provided funding for uniforms and equipment, and in return, the team was named after the company. The Packers quickly became a successful franchise, winning multiple championships in the early years, eventually joining the NFL and winning many more there. Eventually, the company’s sponsorship ended, but the Packers’ legacy endured, becoming one of the most storied franchises in NFL history.

Columbus Panhandles

Originally a factory team made up of employees from the Columbus Buggy Company, a railroad car manufacturer. They became a charter member of the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which would later be renamed the NFL. The Panhandles were known for their strong defensive play, but they struggled to find consistent success on the field. After several seasons of competition, the team disbanded in 1923 due to financial difficulties and declining performance.

Decatur Staleys

The Decatur Staleys were a professional football team founded in 1919 in Decatur, Illinois, by the A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company, a food processing company best known for producing starch products. The team was established by company owner A.E. Staley as a way to promote the company name and provide recreation for the workers. In 1920, the Staleys became a founding member of the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which would later become the National Football League (NFL). After the 1920 season, the team relocated to Chicago and became the Chicago Bears. The Staleys' connection to the Staley Company remained significant in the early years, with the team’s success helping to raise the profile of both the team and the company. Despite the team’s eventual move, the Decatur Staleys played a pivotal role in the early days of professional football.
