The Colts' origin is with the Miami Seahawks, one of the charter franchises of the AAFC. After playing a single disastrous season the Seahawks were confiscated by the league, and were purchased and reorganized by a group of businessmen as the Baltimore Colts. The new team struggled through the next three seasons, but managed to grow a sizable fan base in Baltimore. In 1949, the Colts were one of three AAFC teams, along with the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns, to be brought into the NFL following the AAFC-NFL merger. They played only during the 1950 season before financial pressures forced them to fold.

This December 3rd, 1950 Baltimore Colts Vs. Detroit Lions program is from the last home game this incarnation of the Baltimore Colts would play. The program features Colts halfback, Herb Rich and Lions center, Jack Linenger on the cover. This program has some wrinkling throughout but no heavy creasing.
