The Arizona Cardinals is an American professional football franchise based in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Cardinals compete in the National Football League (NFL) as members of the Western National Football Conference (NFC) division. The Cardinals was founded as Morgan Athletic Club in 1898, and is the oldest continuous professional football team in the United States. The Cardinals play their home game at the University of Phoenix Stadium, located on the northwestern outskirts of Glendale, Arizona.
The team was founded in Chicago in 1898 and joined the NFL as a charter member on September 17, 1920. Along with the Chicago Bears, the club is one of two franchisees of NFL franchise members still in operation since the founding of the league. (The Green Bay Packers were an independent team until they joined the NFL in 1921.) The club then moved to St. Petersburg. Louis in 1960 and played in the city until 1987 (sometimes referred to as "Football Cardinals" or "Big Red" "to avoid confusion with Major League Baseball St. Louis Cardinals.) Prior to the 1988 season, the team moved west to Tempe , Arizona, a suburban area of ​​eastern Phoenix, and played their home game for the next 18 seasons at the University of Arizona Sun Devil Stadium.In 2006, the club began playing all home games at the newly built Phoenix Stadium University in Glendale, team training is in Tempe.
The franchise has won two NFL championships, both currently based in Chicago. The first occurred in 1925, but was the subject of controversy, with supporters of Pottsville Maroons believing that Pottsville should win the title. Their second title, and the first to be won in a championship game, came in 1947, nearly two decades before the first Super Bowl. They returned to the title game to defend in 1948, but lost a rematch of 7-0 in a blizzard in Philadelphia.
Since winning the championship in 1947, the team suffered a lot of season losses, and currently holds the longest active sports drought in North America in 68 consecutive seasons after Major League Baseball Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year drought in 2016. In 2012 the Cardinals became the first NFL franchise to lose 700 games from the start. The winning records of all time franchises (including regular and playoff seasons) at the end of the 2017 season are 557-749-40 ( 550-740-40 in regular season, 7-9 in playoff). They have been to the playoffs ten times and have won seven playoffs, three of which were victories during their run in the 2008-09 NFL playoffs. During the season, they won their only NFC Championship Game since the AFL-NFL merger of 1970, and reached the Super Bowl XLIII (losing 27-23 from Pittsburgh Steelers). The team has also won five division titles (1974, 1975, 2008, 2009 and 2015) since their appearance in the NFL championship 1947-48. The Cardinals are the only NFL team that has never lost in a home playoff game, with a 5-0 record: the NFL Championship Game 1947, two postseason wins during the 2008-09 NFL playoffs, one during the 2009-10 playoffs, and one during the playoffs 2015-16.
From 1988 to 2012 (except 2005, when they were trained in Prescott), the Cardinals held their annual summer training camp at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The Cardinals move their training camp to the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2013. The stadium is the venue of the 2015 Pro Bowl, unlike in previous years, where it was held at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. The stadium also hosts the Super Bowl XLII and XLIX, and will host the Super Bowl LVII in 2023.

Franchise history
Chicago
The start of the franchise began in 1898, when environmental groups gathered to play in the Chicago South Side, calling themselves the Morgan Athletic Club. The Chicago painting and building contractor Chris O'Brien acquired the team, which was transferred to the Normal Field on Racine Avenue. The team was known as Racine Normals until 1901, when O'Brien bought a used shirt from the University of Chicago. He describes the faded maroon outfit as a "red cardinal" and the team becomes Cardinal Racine Street. The team eventually became in 1920 a charter member of the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which two years later has been renamed back to the National Football League (NFL). The team entered the league as Racine Cardinals, but the name was changed in 1922 to the Chicago Cardinals to avoid confusion with Legion Horlick-Racine, who entered the league in the same year. Except in 1925, when they were awarded the championship after Pottsville Maroons were suspended, the Cardinals had little success on the playing field during their first 26 seasons in the league. During the post-World War II years, the team reached two NFL direct finals against the Philadelphia Eagles, winning in 1947 - eight months after Charles Bidwill's death - and lost the following year. After years of bad seasons and losing fans to cross-city rivals the Chicago Bears, in the late 1950s Cardinals almost went bankrupt, and Violet Bidwill Wolfner's owners became interested in relocation.
St. Louis
Due to the formation of the American Football League, the NFL allowed Bidwill to move the team to St. Louis. Louis, Missouri, where they became St. Louis Cardinals (locally, they are called "Big Red" or "Football Cardinals" "to avoid confusion with the baseball team.) During the Cardinals' 28-year stay in St. Louis, they advanced to the playoffs only three times (1974, 1975 & 1982), never host or win any appearance.The Cardinals' overall mediocity attitude, combined with the 21-year-old stadium, led to reduced attendance, and owner Bill Bidwill decided to move the team to Arizona.
Arizona
Shortly after the 1987 NFL season, Bidwill agreed to move to Arizona with a handshake deal with state and local officials, and the team became Phoenix Cardinals. The franchise changed its geographical name from Phoenix to Arizona on March 17, 1994. (Interestingly, the franchise has never played in the city of Phoenix.) The 1998 NFL season saw the Cardinals solve two long droughts, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in 16 years. The team got their first postseason win since 1947 by winning the Wild Card Playoffs. In 2008, Cardinals won the NFC Game Championship to advance to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. They lost the Super Bowl XLIII 27-23 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final seconds.
After their historic season, the Cardinals set a 10-6 record in 2009, their first season with 10 wins in Arizona. The Cardinals earned their second successive NFC West title, and were defeated by eventual Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints 45-14 in division division. The next time they will play in the playoffs is in 2014, when they end up as wild cards. They set the best regular season record in team history in Arizona at 11-5, but were beaten by 7-5-1 NFC champions South Carolina Panthers.
The following year, the Cardinals set a 13-3 best record, and won the first-ever playoff stage as the second seed NFC. They beat the Green Bay Packers 26-20 in extra-time, giving Carson Palmer quarterback his first playoff victory. The Cardinals then advanced to their second NFC Championship Game in their history, but were blown out by top seed 15-1 Panthers 49-15, making seven turnovers.

Uniform
Beginning in 1947, the team had a cardinal bird logo perched on a football stitch.
The Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988, and the Arizona banner was added to the arm the following year. In 1990, the team started wearing red trousers with their white shirts, as new coach Joe Bugel wanted to emulate his former employer, Washington Redskins, who at the time was wearing a burgundy pant with their white T-shirts (Redskins then returned to 1970s gold) pants with all their shirts).
In 1994, the Cardinals participated in the NFL's 75th anniversary birthday graduation program. The shirt is similar to the Chicago Cardinals of the 1920s, with the interlocking "CC" logo and three lines on each arm. The uniform number is moved to the right chest. The trousers were khakis to simulate the colors and materials used in that era. The Cardinals also stripped off their helmet logos for two games: in Cleveland and home to Pittsburgh.
The Cardinal's head on the helmet was repeated on a white jersey from 1982 to 1995. In 1996, the Arizona state flag was moved higher on the sleeve after the Cardinal head was removed, and black was removed as an accent color instead of being substituted in blue to match the dominant color flag country. In 2002, the Cardinals began using a combination of red and all-white, and continued to do so until 2004, before the team changes.
In 2005, the team launched its first major change in a century. The cardinal-head logo is updated to look slimmer and worse than its predecessor. Many fans ridicule the previous version as "parakeet". Black again became an accent color after an eight year hiatus, while a trim line was added to the outer shoulders, arms, and sides of T-shirts and pants. Both red and white shirts have a red or white pants option.
Hoping to break six consecutive defeats, the Cardinals wore red pants for the first time on October 29, 2006, in a match at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers won 31-14, and the Cards were heading into their week with a 1-7 mark. After weeks gone by, the Cardinals came out with an all-red combination at home against the Dallas Cowboys and lost, 27-10. Arizona are not wearing red pants for the rest of the season and won four of their last seven games. However, the following season, in 2007, the Cardinals again put on their red pants for their last 3 home games. They wore red trousers with white T-shirts in a game on the street in the Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks. They pair red pants with red shirts, red all-round combinations, for home games against the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, and St. Louis Rams. Red pants were not worn at all in 2008, but they were used in home games vs. Seattle, Minnesota, and St. Louis in 2009. The red pants were paired with a white road jersey for the first time in three years during the 2010 Match in Carolina, but a combination of white shirts/red pants has not been used since then.
The Cardinals first home game in Arizona, in 1988, saw them playing with red shirts. After that, over the next 18 years in Arizona, the Cardinals, like some other NFL teams in warm climates, wore their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season - forcing opponents to suffer in their dark uniforms during the fall of Arizona that often see the temperature more than 100 Â ° F (38 Â ° C). However, this tradition did not continue when the Cardinals moved from Sun Devil Stadium to the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2006, because the early season (and some home games at the end of the season) was played with a closed roof. With temperatures inside at a comfortable 70Ã, Â ° F (21Ã, Â ° C), the team opted to wear red shirts in full-time homes. The Cardinals wore a white T-shirt at home for the first time at the University of Phoenix Stadium on August 29, 2008, in a pre-season game against the Denver Broncos.
The Cardinals wore white uniforms at home for the first time in regular season games at the University of Phoenix Stadium against Houston Texans on October 11, 2009. In October 2009, the NFL recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the players wore pink-accented items, including sheaths hands, bracelets, and shoes. The team thinks pink accents look better with a white uniform than red.
From 1970 to 1983, and again in many seasons between 1989 and 2002, the Cardinals would wear white clothes when they entertained the Dallas Cowboys to force the Cowboys to wear their "shit" blue shirts. They have not done this since moving to the University of Phoenix Stadium, however.
The 2010 season saw Cardinals debut, a new alternative black jersey. Prior to its introduction, Cardinals was the only NFL team without an alternative jersey or setback package, except for the NFL's 75th birthday program in 1994.
