This led to the Association being granted an NFL franchise in 1924, thus becoming the Frankford Yellow Jackets. During the 19 seasons, the Yellow Jackets compiled a 6–2–1 record against teams from the National Football League. That year, Frankford captured the unofficial championship of Philadelphia. In 1922, Frankford absorbed the Philadelphia City Champion team, the Union Quakers of Philadelphia. In the early 1920s, the Frankford Athletic Association's Yellow Jackets gained the reputation as being one of the best independent football teams in the nation. In keeping with Yellow Jackets tradition, they carried the "Frankford" name again in 1912, to become the Frankford Athletic Association.

In keeping with its charter, which stated that "all profits shall be donated to charity", all of the team's excess income was donated to local charitable institutions. The Association was a community-based non-profit organization of local residents and businesses. However, there were also contributing memberships, ranging from $1 to $2.50, made available to the general public. The cost of purchasing a share in the association was $10. The Frankford Athletic Association was organized in May 1899 in the parlor of the Suburban Club.
