The Jersey Jays: Blue-Collar Football in the Shadow of Giants
The Jersey Jays: Blue-Collar Football in the Shadow of Giants revisits the 1969 season of New Jersey’s forgotten Continental Football League team, a gritty, working-class squad that battled for pride in the shadow of the NFL. The story explores the Jays’ surprising 7–5 record and their enduring legacy within the Garden State’s football heritage. It also highlights the potential rebirth of a modern CoFL franchise at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson.
