Empire Club (football)

The Empire Club was a short-lived professional American football team based in Buffalo, New York. They were members of the Ohio League in 1920, which later became the National Football League (NFL) in 1922.

The team's origins and ownership are not well-documented. Historical records of their performance are sparse, and they are primarily remembered for their inclusion in the inaugural season of what would become the NFL. The Empire Club played a very limited schedule in 1920, and their performance was unremarkable.

Due to financial instability and lack of competitive success, the Empire Club folded after the 1920 season and did not continue as a franchise in the newly formed NFL. Their legacy is primarily as a footnote in the early history of professional American football. Further details regarding specific players, coaches, or game results are difficult to ascertain due to the limited available information.
