Arizona Cardinals were founded in Chicago in 1898, as Morgan Athletic Club, making them the oldest professional football team in America. They became members of NFL in 1920, and along the Chicago Bears, they are the only two original franchises still alive today. In 1960 they moved to St. Louis, where they stayed until 1988, when they moved to their current home in Tempe, Arizona. Cardinals have won two championships, in 1825 and 1947, although the 1925 title is still disputed. They play their games at University of Phoenix Stadium in the northwestern suburb of Phoenix, Glendale. They changed their name to Arizona Cardinals in 1994. Below, we are going to look into Arizona Cardinals jerseys, so if you are a fan of this team, you may want to pay attention to this article.
Arizona Cardinals colors are red, white and black. They first used the red jerseys in 1901, when Chris O'Brien bought them. Various red and white combinations are mostly used since then. The jersey can be white or red, pants either white with red stripes on the sides or red with white stripes, with white helmets. Alternate design has numbers on side of the shoulders, opposite to the top of the shoulders as usual. In 1998, after their move to Tempe, they added Arizona flag to the jersey sleeves.
2006 marks first major change in uniform appearance in century. Cardinals try to end their losing streak of 6 games by wearing red pants for the first time against the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, it didn't work and they lost the game 31-14. Then they tried all red combination against Dallas and lost again, 27-10. For the remainder of the season, Cardinals never wore red pants again, and won 4 out of the last seven games.
