This jacket, worn by offensive lineman Harry Cusworth, dates all the way back to 1946, when the city of Tacoma had her first and only professional football team. The Tacoma Indians played in the Pacific Coastal Professional Football League (PCPFL) and finished 7-4 under head Coach Steve Slivinski. The Indians are one of the biggest one year wonders in professional sports, in their first year as a team, Tacoma earned a spot in the championship game (losing 38-7), but then did not come back for the next season. The team played at the Stadium Bowl, which is now used by Stadium, and WIlson High school. Almost all the players on Tacoma’s roster attended college in the state of Washington, while many athletes took advantage of the nearby University of Washington campus to advance their academic careers while playing in the PCPFL. The jacket itself is a bright red, with the Tacoma Indians logo on the left side of the chest. It is made of cotton, with white felt letters on the back that spell “INDIANS”. There are seven buttons that stretch between the black knit collar and waistband.Lexicon
