1926 Duluth Eskimos

Changed week-by-week display to indicate the Eskimos wore "Igloo-less" combo for November 13, 1926 game vs. Frankford.  This was based on research done by Tim Brulia at Pro Football Hall of Fame.  The "Igloo" combo was seen by our Bill Schaefer in a photograph of the September 12, 1926 exhibition game against the Bessemer Legion (aka "Gogebic Panthers of Ironwood and Bessemer, Michigan") in Superior, WI.  Remaining regular season games changed to "unknown" combo.
