The New York Yanks American football team started in the National Football League in 1949 after Boston Yanks owner Ted Collins requested the league to fold his Boston team and give him a new one in New York City. Collins' new team began operations as the New York Bulldogs. In 1950, they changed their name to the New York Yanks. The team last played in 1951. The franchise is reported to have been 'sold back' to the league following the 1951 season, but it is more likely the franchise was revoked by the league, whereupon the team was resurrected as the Dallas Texans for 1952. For the 1953 season, what remained of the Dallas Texans organization was awarded to the city of Baltimore to form the Baltimore Colts.
