- The Pottsville Maroons were an American football team based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1920, they went on to play in the National Football League (NFL) for four seasons, from 1925–1928. In 1929 they relocated to Boston, where they played one season as the Boston Bulldogs. Originally known as the Pottsville Eleven, the team was initially an independent team playing in the local eastern Pennsylvania circuit. Home games were played at Minersville Park, a high school stadium in nearby Minersville. They joined the local Anthracite League in 1924, the same year they adopted the "Maroons" nickname, and clinched the league title. The next season they joined the NFL under owner John G. Streigel. Though dominant on the field, a controversial suspension cost them the 1925 NFL Championship. They were reinstated the following year, but after two successive losing seasons in 1927 and 1928, Streigel sold the Maroons to a group in Boston, where they played one season before folding. 1925 was their best season. The 1928 roster included three future Pro Football Hall of Fame members - Johnny "Blood" McNally, Walt Kiesling, and coach Wilbur "Pete" Henry - but posted the worst record in franchise history. Writer John O'Hara, who would go on to become a world-famous novelist with Appointment in Samarra, covered the team for the local newspaper.
- Los Pottsville Maroons jugaron en la National Football League (NFL) de hasta . el equipo fue propiedad de J.G. Streigel y jugó en el Minersville Park. El equipo se convirtió en los Boston Bulldogs en 1929 (sin relación con los Boston Bulldogs de la American Football League tres años antes). La NFL considera a los Bulldogs y a los Maroons como el mismo equipo. Los Maroons, de Pottsville, Pensilvania, fueron uno de los mejores equipos de la liga en 1925 y 1926, con marcas de temporada regular de 10-2 y 10-2-1, respectivamente. Incluso hay una controversia acerca del campeonato de la temporada de 1925. Sin embargo, el equipo sufrió de dos temporadas perdedoras en las siguientes dos campañas. En 1929, el equipo se mudó a Boston, Massachusetts, para convertirse en los Bulldogs, pero se retiraron después de esa temporada. En el plantel de 1928 incluían a tres futuros miembros del Salón de la Fama pero tuvieron la peor marca en la historia de la franquicia. Al final de la temporada de 1929, se les dio a los jugadores un balón pequeño hecho de arbón de antracita, un recuerdo de la última temporada jugada en Pottsville.

- "The Pottsville Maroons were the most ferocious and most respected players I have ever faced. "You know, I always believed the Maroons won the NFL championship in 1925 ... but were robbed of the honor."
