About the Duluth Eskimos

The franchise debuted as the Duluth Kelleys in 1923 and was renamed the Duluth Eskimos in 1926 when the great Ernie Nevers — the Stanford fullback often considered Jim Thorpe's only equal in early-NFL talent — signed to lead the team. Owner Ole Haugsrud and head coach Dewey Scanlon turned the Eskimos into the NFL's most famous traveling team, billed as "Ernie Nevers' Eskimos" and barnstorming across the country to capitalize on Nevers' national fame.

The 1926 Eskimos played 28 of their 29 games on the road in a four-month tour that took them from coast to coast — the most road-heavy season in major American pro sports history. Nevers played all but 30 minutes of those games, including a famous 1929 stretch where he scored 40 points (still an NFL single-game record) against the Chicago Bears. The Eskimos folded after the 1927 season as the early NFL contracted; Nevers's team-saving barnstorming had bought the franchise four years it otherwise wouldn't have had. Hall of Famer Ernie Nevers's Eskimos legacy lives on in Royal Retros throwbacks.
