So now we had Nov. 16, Nov. 18, Nov. 22 and possibly Nov. 23? Wondering from where the Nov. 16 date emanated led us into The Hall archives to reference old media guides, which, in the early 1960s, included a section on the founding of the team. The date typically used was Nov. 22, 1959.
Inexplicably, the 1969-1971 media guides used Nov. 29, 1959 as the founding date – a fifth date that emerged out of nowhere. In 1972, the media guide listed Nov. 16, 1959, which seems to have survived the media guides from that point forward (we did not check every media guide between 1972 and 2019, but 1972 was the first that used Nov. 16 and that date was also listed in 2019).
We were not sure from where Nov 29 or Nov. 16 came. So we went back to our documentation.
We then called the Patriots legal department to discuss our dilemma, shared information regarding the documentation and asked for advice. That’s how we settled on Nov. 22, 1959.
Legal advised that the meeting that took place on Nov. 22-23 would serve as the official board-of-directors’ meeting and, even though the vote actually took place on Nov. 23, the official legal date of the meeting was Nov. 22. Since the board (the league representatives described in the minutes) voted at that meeting to accept the Boston franchise, Nov. 22, 1959 is the official and legal day of the team’s founding.
The team, later named the Patriots, played its first game on Sept. 9, 1960 and won its first game on Nov. 17, 1960 – 28-24 over the New York Titans at The Polo Grounds. Including the postseason, the Patriots have won 546 games as of Nov. 20, 2019 – more than any of the original eight AFL Teams.
