The story behind the Jugtown Juggernauts
by Clay Barnes
JUGTOWN - Back before progress came to North Jefferson County there wasn't a whole lot going on north of Birmingham. Sure you had a few beer joints and honky tonks on US Highway 31 (Hooten's for example) heading towards Cullman, but the real action was in the boonies where cock fighting and moon shining were thriving. This was before plastic jugs and glass was still fragile and undependable. The locals needed a better container for the South's finest corn liquor. So from this need sprang a jug factory built to supply jugs to the local entrepreneurs. The jug plant was so successful it drew workers to the area and soon a small town had emerged. That town was called Jugtown. Many years later after plastic and glass became more accepted, the jug factory was shut down and moved to the hills of East Tennessee. The town leaders seeking to change the past voted to change the name to Gardendale and the rest is history.

Jugtown Juggernauts - Gardendale was originally called Jugtown because of a big jug factory there. A juggernaut is a massive relentless force crushing anything is in its path. However, the BDFL uses "naut" as "nautical" thus Jason and the Argonauts quest for the Golden Fleece is used as the team's theme and color scheme.
AFL Throwback Week Team:
1961 San Diego Chargers
Jugtown Juggernauts to represent the 1961 San Diego Chargers - With the move from LA to San Diego in 1961, the Chargers found a permanent home as the only game in the peaceful coastal town. Since the Nauts are laid back and have a nautical theme, San Diego's Chargers were the logical choice to adopt for Throwback Week. The first AFL player elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, receiver Lance Alworth will serve as the team's captain.
