Brief History of the Arizona Cardinals:
In 1920, the club became a charter member of the NFL and once again changed their name, this time to the Chicago Cardinals. In 1960 the franchise pulled up roots and moved south to St. Louis where they played for the next 28 seasons.
In 1988, the Cardinals headed west to Arizona, where they were known as the Phoenix Cardinals until opting to change their name to the Arizona Cardinals in 1994.
