Before they were officially the Pottsville Maroons (three years later), and before gaining admittance to the NFL (playing their first year in 1925), this Pottsville team played in what became the tough Anthracite League. This photo is said to have been hanging in the Zacko Sporting Goods store and has an address label for Russ Zacko on the lower left margin.
All players are identified in the lower margin which is
always helpful when looking at early team photographs.
For a summary of the Pottsville Maroons story (and it’s a hell of a story) please see blog entries dated March 21, 2020, March 26, 2018 and March 23, 2017.
