J.P. Rooneys

The J.P. Rooneys (or formally the James P. Rooneys) were an independent semi-professional American football team, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team was founded by Art Rooney, who is best known for being the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League, and is considered to be unofficial beginnings of the modern-day Steelers. The team played at Exposition Park and reportedly had up to 12,000 people in the stands at times.
==History==
The team was originally founded in 1921 as Hope-Harvey. The team's name was based on two items. The first was a fire-engine house, located in the city's Hope ward, where the team would dress and shower for home games. The second item was based on Dr. Walter Harvey, the physician who tended to injured players. According to Art Rooney, Dr. Walter Harvey never charged the team or players for his services.〔 The team’s uniforms were handmade by the players or members of their families so each one was sewn differently.〔
Rooney not only served the team as a player-coach, but also recruited players from the neighborhoods and local colleges. After a few years of play, the team was sponsored by "Loeffler's Electronic Store", who renamed the team after one of its best selling products, the majestic radio. Hence the team became known as the Majestic Radios. The team's affiliation with Loeffler's ended prior to the team's 1931 season. The team was then renamed the J. P. Rooneys to promote Art's brother, James P. Rooney, who was running for election to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. James Rooney would go onto to easily win the election. Rooney's semi-professional teams met a fair amount of success, including at least two Western Pennsylvania Senior Independent Football Conference titles in the early 1930s. The Rooney's continued playing football, as Art was looking to add a Pittsburgh team to the National Football League. In 1933, the team morphed into the Pittsburgh Pirates, and were renamed the Steelers in 1940.
