The 1925 Hammond Pros season was their sixth in the National Football League (NFL). The team failed to improve on their previous record against league opponents of 2–2–1, winning only one game. They finished fourteenth in the league.
Background
After having completed just 5 NFL games during the 1924 season, all of which were played on the road, Hammond went into 1925 with a light schedule of just five games, front-loaded to the first half of the season. A very tentative home game was also scheduled for November 8 against the Dayton Triangles.
In the end, the ill-fated November 8 was rescheduled as a road date against the Rock Island Independents but was canceled due to snow.
A game was initially scheduled against the Racine Legion at Racine, Wisconsin was canceled when that American Legion-sponsored team suspended operations for 1925. Instead a game was scheduled for the open date and played with the non-NFL Toronto Tigers of Toronto, Ohio, with Hammond losing the contest in a 7–0 shutout.
