Hut! Hut! Hike! Pro Bowl

The Hut! Hut! Hike! series examines the origins of football terminology and how the game’s evolution drove changes in its vocabulary. Over 400 football terms are defined in my newest book (published in November 2022). This article is #3 in a follow-up series to the book. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Timothy P. Brown delivers an excerpt from his outstanding book Hut! Hut! Hike! on how the term Pro Bowl came in to our modern frame of reference.
