The Youngstown Patricians were a semi-professional football team based in Youngstown, Ohio.[1] In the 1910s, the team briefly held the professional football championship and established itself as a fierce rival of more experienced clubs around the country, some of which later formed the core of the National Football League.[2] The Patricians football team motto was "With Malice to None and a Square Deal to all."
