Rockford Pros
History: Zealous Bates Tower Corbett founded the Rockford Athletic Association in 1901. He began paying players in 1911, though by 1913, the Pros had become a travelling team, rarely actually playing in Rockford.
Leadership: Corbett considers the Pros to be an interesting hobby, but he is always careful not to lose money in running the team. This often leads to him selling the contracts of successful players and pocketing the profit. Tailback James Sea serves as coach.
Key Players: Blocking back Frank Eunice is a true star, but as is so often the case with stars who emerge in Rockford, there are rumors that Corbett intends to Eunice after the season.
Outlook: This team isn’t well-known east of Chicago, and will likely play a lot of games against non-league opponents. Even if that produces a weaker schedule, they’re still not likely to finish high in the standings.
Nickname: It’s probably self-explanatory, but Corbett adopted the nickname Professionals or Pros after he started paying players.
Logo: It’s just the team name in script. The font is Norican, by Vernon Adams.
Uniform: It’s pretty flashy, by the standards of the era. A dark blue sweater with alternating thin and thick orange strips on the sleeve, and the team name across the chest. They’re the only team in the league to feature their full logo on the uniform.
