{{See also|Baltimore Colts}}
The [[All-America Football Conference|All America Football Conference]] began play in the 1946 season. In its second year, the franchise assigned to the [[Miami Seahawks]] was relocated to [[Maryland]]'s major commercial and manufacturing city of [[Baltimore]]. After a fan contest, the team was renamed the [[Baltimore Colts]] and used the team colors of silver and green. The Colts played for the next three seasons in the old [[All-America Football Conference|AAFC]] until they agreed to merge with the old [[National Football League]] (of 1920–1922 to 1950) when the NFL was reorganized. The [[Baltimore Colts (1947–50)|Baltimore Colts]] were one of the three former AAFC powerhouse teams to merge with the NFL at that time, the others being the [[San Francisco 49ers]] and the [[Cleveland Browns]]. This Colts team, now in the "big league" of [[American football|professional American football]] for the first time, although with shaky financing and ownership, played only in the 1950 season of the NFL, and was later disbanded.
