Rock Island Independents original logo t-shirt (white)
Rooted in early football history and classic Midwestern style, this t-shirt pays tribute to the Rock Island Independents, one of the original teams of the National Football League. Founded in 1907 and part of the first NFL game ever played at Douglas Park in 1920, the Independents helped shape the sport in its earliest days right here in the Quad Cities.
Featuring a bold, vintage-inspired RI monogram, this design reflects the look and feel of early football insignia — simple, strong, and unmistakably tied to the era. The clean layout keeps the focus on the mark itself, creating a timeless piece that feels both historic and modern.
Perfect for those who appreciate authentic local history, early football heritage, and understated athletic style, this t-shirt is a nod to Rock Island’s place at the very beginning of the NFL.
