Before the Stallions, the Americans won for Birmingham

Birmingham’s team has won the past two USFL championships, joining the 1974 World Bowl as the Magic City’s pro football titles.

Several Birmingham Americans photos. I went to all of the home games. (was in the 3rd & 4th grade - showing my age!)

Loved the article. I have an old Birmingham Americans Jersey in a trunk here at the house. Dennis Holman was a favorite of mine back then. He played at Muscle Shoals High School, Bama, the Cowboys and Chiefs before going to the Americans.

I always thought the helmet was cool, so that’s why I use it on sites. thanks again for the article, it is very much appreciated.

I still have a poster, jacket, & pennant (thanks to my mom keeping them) from the Americans. I also have an autographed chin strap from OL Dick Troyier (sp) - he gave it to me after a game because I was a 3rd grader with a broken arm.
I remember Dennis Holman very well. Catching passes fromMatthew Reed & George Mira I believe!
Great memories!
