Philadelphia Field Club → Philadelphia F.C. – None of these pro clubs were called "Philadelphia Field Club" but were "Philadelphia Football Club". There has been confusion of "Field Club" teams and "Football Club" teams with similar names and which has combined those together. For example, the original NAFBL/ASL New York Football Club has been given the name New York Field Club, just as here the original (and subsequent) ASL Philadelphia Football Club has been given the name Philadeplhia Field Club. These Field Clubs were part of a few completely separate leagues that were around in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Theses were leagues of association football teams based at field clubs (basically country clubs) in New York (the Field Club Soccer League), New Jersey and Philadelphia. While these field clubs would play a schedule, each league would also put together a team of members for inter-city games with other leagues. It was these teams that were called "Philadelphia Field Club" and "New York Field Club" when they played those inter-city games. For reference about field clubs, see "English Speaking World", September 1920, page 20. For reference about the original ASL Philadelphia F.C.'s name, see the Spalding's Soccer Football Guides from 1921/22 & 1922/23 (http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/sie_soccer).
