A team in the old AAFC (1947-1949; absorbed into the NFL in 1950 before disbanding). The NFL's hapless Dallas Texans (NTBCW the original Kansas City Chiefs) moved to Baltimore and became the Colts in 1953, keeping their horseshoe logo. A glamour franchise as the league became a US institution - with stars Johnny Unitas, John Mackey, Gino Marchetti, etc. Carroll Rosenbloom traded teams with Rams owner Bob Irsay, who, in 1983, moved the team to Indianapolis in dead of night.
