 | | But consistent with pro football's provincial, small-town orientation, the Yellow Jackets chose to identify with Frankford, a tight-knit neighborhood, rather than with the much larger city of which it was a part. |
 | | Ultimately, though, the Yellow Jackets were forced out of Frankford, first when fire damaged their stadium, then when the city of Philadelphia revealed plans to extend a major street right through the stadium grounds (knowing Philadelphia, who can say what sort of politics were involved?). |
 | | On a rainy Saturday in Philadelphia, they played the Frankford Yellow Jackets before 35,000 people, and the next day, their uniforms still wet and muddy, they faced the New York Giants in the Polo Grounds. |
