Moline Universal Tractors

The Moline Universal Tractors, also known as the Moline Athletics, were an independent American football team that played in 1920. Although an independent, they played in two games that were recorded in the National [Football League], against the Decatur Staleys and Chicago Cardinals. Overall, the Universal Tractors played seven games during their only season of existence, and compiled a record of 2–5. They were intended to be a works team sponsored by the workers of the Universal Tractor Co factory, but for unknown reason no money ended up being collected and the name was changed to the Athletics.
In 2017, there was a throwback game to celebrate football history that had the Universal Tractors play the Rock Island Independents.
