American Soccer League as the New Jersey Eagles. They folded following the 1990 American Professional Soccer League
season.
History
Founded as the Cosmopolitan Eagles in 1987, they played an independent exhibition schedule that year. In 1988, they joined the
New York Cosmos players Andranik Eskandarian and Hubert Birkenmeier
. Unfortunately, the offense sputtered in the wake of chronic knee injuries to Acosta, and the team lost many low-scoring one-goal games.
The Eagles played their home matches at Paterson, New Jersey's Hinchliffe Stadium during their first two seasons.
