NY Titans.
Played in the Polo Grounds.
1960 to 1964 Then Sonny Werblin bought the team and they moved to Shea. He renamed the team the Jets.
Titans was selected in the late 1950s as they wanted to be bigger than the Giants. This is a true fact. Old colors were blue and gold.
Larry Granthan a line backer played for both the Jets and Titants. He made a funny comment when at the polo grounds, They has so few fans then. Larry said instead of introducing the team in the warm ups, just let the players go into the stand to say hello to the fans. That how poorly attneded some games were.
