The '''Dayton Triangles''' were an original franchise of the [[American Professional Football Association]] (now the [[National Football League]] (NFL)) in 1920. The Triangles were based in [[Dayton, Ohio]], and took their nickname from their home field, [[Triangle Park (Dayton)|Triangle Park]], which was located at the confluence of the Great Miami and Stillwater Rivers in north Dayton. They were the longest-lasting [[traveling team]] in the NFL (1920–1929), and the last such "road team" until the [[Dallas Texans (NFL)|Dallas Texans]] in 1952, who, coincidentally, descended from the Dayton franchise.

The Texans players and assets were moved to Baltimore in 1953, and then to Indianapolis in 1983, where they now operate as the [[Indianapolis Colts|Colts]], just 117 miles west of their origin.

==Origins==
The original Dayton Triangles members first began playing together as [[basketball]] players at St. Mary's College, now the [[University of Dayton]], from 1908 until 1912. After graduation, the players organized a basketball team of alumni, students, and other local athletes. They went by the name of the St. Mary's Cadets. The Cadets claimed the title of "World Basketball Champions" by defeating the [[Buffalo Germans|Buffalo German Ramblers]].<ref name="collettpresar1">Collett & Presar (1990), p. 1</ref>

In the fall of 1913, the St. Marys Cadets organized a football team. The team was coached by [[Louis Clark (American football coach)|Louis Clark]], who coached the St. Mary's college football team as well.<ref name="collettpresar1" /> [[Al Mahrt]] was elected team captain. The team finished its first season with a 7–0 record and won the Dayton City Championship. They also won the Southern Ohio Championship by defeating the [[Cincinnati Celts]] 27–0 at [[Crosley Field|Redland Park]]. The team won a second city championship in 1914, despite injuries to Al Mahrt and [[Babe Zimmerman]]. In 1915 the team changed its name to the Dayton Gym-Cadets after their presumed sponsors, the Dayton Gymnastic Club. That season saw Al Marhrt take over as the team's coach. The team only lost one game that season, to the [[Columbus Panhandles]].<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.profootballarchives.com/1915daygc.html | title=1915 Dayton Gym-Cadets | work=The Pro Football Archives | publisher=Maher Sports Media | access-date=April 1, 2012}}</ref> It also won its third city championship.

==1916–1919==
The team was reorganized in 1916 as a recreational football team from among the employees of three downtown Dayton factories: the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company (or [[Delco Electronics|Delco]]), the Dayton Metal Products Company, and the Domestic Engineering Company (now called Delco-Light). [[Carl Storck]], who later served as treasurer of the NFL and as acting league president from 1939 to 1941, co-sponsored the Dayton Cadets and used players recruited from the three factories to fill out the team roster. Storck would later become the team's manager, while [[Bud Talbott]], a [[Walter Camp]] [[All-American]] [[Offensive tackle|tackle]] and team captain at [[Yale University]], was named the team's coach. The team's name was also changed to the Dayton Triangles that season.

In 1916, the Triangles went 9–1, defeating teams from [[Cincinnati]], [[Detroit]], [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]] and [[Pittsburgh]]. The [[Canton Bulldogs]], with the legendary [[Jim Thorpe]] in the line-up, claimed the "Ohio League" Championship after their win over the [[Massillon Tigers]]. The Triangles challenged the Bulldogs to a game on December 10, 1916, but the game was never played. The following season saw the Triangles move into their new park, [[Triangle Park (Dayton)|Triangle Park]]. The team's 1917 campaign was successful. The team went 6–0–2 that season. The Triangles were able to score 188 points and gave up only 13 to their opponents.

===1918 Championship===
1918 saw the [[United States]] entry in [[World War I]], as well as the devastating [[1918 flu pandemic|Spanish flu pandemic]]. While the Triangles lost players to military service, they also had many kept home with regular jobs in industries deemed essential to the war effort and, along with the few other teams still playing, far less competition for the talent pool. This allowed the Triangles to keep a team on the field and beat what few representative teams remained and eventually claiming an [[Ohio League]] Championship. The Triangle [[player-coach]] that season was [[Greasy Neale|Earle "Greasy" Neale]], since Bud Talbott joined the [[United States Army|army]]. During their championship run, the Triangles defeated future NFL teams, the [[Toledo Maroons]], [[Hammond Pros]], Columbus Panhandles and [[Detroit Heralds]]. The Triangles went 8–0–0 in 1918, one of two known teams to have collected a perfect record of more than five games that year, the other being the [[Buffalo (1920s NFL teams)|Buffalo Niagaras]], whose 6–0–0 record was collected as a result of playing only teams from Buffalo and who built their team on many of the players left out of work because of the Ohio League teams' suspension. In 1919, they followed up their championship with a season record of 4–2–1.

==National Football League (NFL) era==
[[File:1920DaytonTriangles.jpg|thumb|A team photograph of the Dayton Triangles, 1920]]
At the first meetings held on August 20, 1920, and September 17, 1920, at [[Ralph Hay]]'s [[Hupmobile]] dealership located in [[Canton, Ohio]], the Triangles were represented by their manager [[Carl Storck]] as they became charter members of the new league called the American Professional Football Association (APFA), until 1922 when it was renamed the National Football League. During the latter meeting, Jim Thorpe was unanimously elected as the new league's president. Also at this meeting, a membership fee of $100 per team was established, however [[George Halas]] stated that none of the charter teams ever paid it.

On October 3, 1920, the Triangles won what could be considered the very first APFA/NFL game, with a 14–0 defeat of the Columbus Panhandles at Triangle Park. The high point of the Triangles' 1920 season was a 20–20 tie at Triangle Park with Thorpe's Canton Bulldogs; it was the first time a team had scored three touchdowns on the Bulldogs since 1915. Trailing the Triangles, 20–14, Thorpe nailed two late field goals to tie the score. Six games into the season, the Triangles remained undefeated (4–0–2) but in the final three games lost twice to the eventual league champion, the [[Akron Pros]], ending 1920 with a 5–2–2 mark.

==Decline==
In 1922, the other teams in the NFL were recruiting and signing top college players from around the country; however Dayton continued to use mainly local players. This marked a decline in the team's performance, and the Triangles ceased being competitive in the NFL. Because of their poor showing on the field, the Triangles were not able to draw crowds for home games: Triangle Park, with a seating capacity of 5,000, rarely saw that many fans. Soon, the combination of poor home gates and the lure of $2,500 guarantees to play at larger venues (like [[Wrigley Field]], [[Comiskey Park]] and the [[Polo Grounds]]), made the Triangles primarily a [[traveling team]].

By the late twenties, Dayton was one of the league's doormats, winning just five of their 51 NFL contests from 1923 through 1929. Only the revenues from playing on the road kept them afloat. Also around this time, the NFL began shaking off its roots in the mid-sized Midwestern cities that had been the heartland of pro football in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Triangles were one of only three original NFL teams (along with the Bears and Cardinals) to survive the 1920s, and the only team from the Ohio League to survive past 1926. Nevertheless, by then it was apparent that Dayton was no longer large enough to support a team in the burgeoning league. Finally, on July 12, 1930, a [[Brooklyn]]-based syndicate headed by [[Bill Dwyer (mobster)|Bill Dwyer]] and [[Jack Depler]] bought the Triangles and moved them to Brooklyn as the [[Brooklyn Dodgers (NFL)|Brooklyn Dodgers]]. Depler became the Dodgers' head coach, and stocked the roster with players from the NFL's [[Orange/Newark Tornadoes|Orange Tornadoes]], where he had previously been player-coach. Although the Dodgers operated under the Triangles franchise, they were essentially an expansion team. The roster was dominated by former Tornadoes, with most of the 1929 Triangles relegated to the bench.

==Lineage==
Due to numerous transactions over the years, the Triangles have a tenuous connection to a current NFL franchise, the [[Indianapolis Colts]].
[[File:Triangles_to_Indianapolis_colts_flow_chart.png|thumb|Triangles to Indianapolis Colts flow chart]]
The Dodgers merged with the [[Boston Yanks]] franchise for the 1945 season due to player shortages. In 1946, Brooklyn owner [[Dan Topping]] jumped to the [[All-America Football Conference|AAFC]] to become owner of the new league's [[New York Yankees (AAFC)|New York Yankees]]. The NFL awarded the Dodgers' players to the Boston Yanks.

In 1949, the Yanks moved to New York and became the [[New York Bulldogs]], while the AAFC Yankees merged with the [[Brooklyn Dodgers (AAFC)|Brooklyn Dodgers]] and played as the Brooklyn-New York Yankees. When the AAFC merged with the NFL in 1950, the Yankees players were divided between the NFL's two New York teams, the [[New York Giants|Giants]] and the Bulldogs. Shortly before the 1950 season, the Bulldogs were renamed the [[New York Yanks]].

Due to heavy financial losses, the Yanks were sold back to the NFL in 1952. The Yanks' player contracts were awarded to a group from Texas, who moved them to Dallas for the 1952 season as the [[Dallas Texans (NFL)|Dallas Texans]].

The Texans were again sold back to the NFL midway through the season. Before the 1953 season, an ownership group in [[Baltimore]] was awarded an expansion franchise, the (new) [[History of the Indianapolis Colts|Baltimore Colts]]. As part of the deal, the new Colts were awarded the remains of the Texans organization, including their player contracts. The [[Baltimore Colts relocation to Indianapolis|Colts moved to]] [[Indianapolis]] in 1984 and still play there today.

In spite of the unbroken continuity of the franchises that began with the Triangles in 1913 and the Boston Yanks from 1944, the NFL considers the Colts to be a 1953 expansion team, not continuation of the Triangles or any other franchise. Likewise, the Colts do not claim the legacy of the Triangles or their successors as part of their history. If you do count the Colts as part of the triangles they have the longest post-season drought with 38 seasons with zero post season appearance in the NFL.

==Teams named after the football Triangles==
During the 1970s, the Dayton Triangles [[Soccer]] Club revived the name and enjoyed some success and recognition as a successful youth (and later semi-pro) soccer club. Like the football team, they took their name from the same city park and played an important role in development of soccer in the [[Miami Valley]].

In 1973, the [[Dayton Triangles RFC]] club was founded. Like the aforementioned soccer club, this team also took its name from the original football team and city park. Through various amalgamations over the years, the club is still active under the name of the [[Dayton Area Rugby Club]].
