The 1938–39 Sheboygan Red Skins season was the Red Skins' first year in the United States' National Basketball League (NBL), which would also be the second year the NBL itself existed after previously existing as either an amateur or semipro-based league called the Midwest Basketball Conference in its first two seasons of existence. However, if one were to include their few seasons they played as an independent team under a few various team names involving local businesses like the The Ballhorns (being sponsored by a local florist and funeral parlor), the Art Imigs (being sponsored by a local dry cleaning shop owned and operated by a man named Art Imig with team jerseys saying Art Imig's), and the Enzo Jels (being sponsored by a local gelatin manufacturer known as Enzo-Pac) at various points starting back in 1933 before becoming the Sheboygan Red Skins due to their promotion up into the NBL, this would officially be their sixth overall season of play as well. Unlike the first (and previous) season that the NBL officially existed under the name it would use for the rest of its existence as a professional basketball league where either three or four new teams would join the NBL following its rebranding from the MBC (depending on whether you count the rebranding of the Richmond King Clothiers to the Cincinnati Comellos as two new teams or not), the Sheboygan Red Skins would be the only new team to join the NBL in its second season of existence under that name after five other teams (including two of the newer NBL teams in the Cincinnati Comellos and Kankakee Gallagher Trojans) would drop out of the league entirely, though Sheboygan's introduction into the NBL would be a rather late one, as similar to their stateside rivals in the Oshkosh All-Stars, the Red Skins franchise would enter the NBL by December 1938 after the NBL's season began back in November, with Sheboygan entering the league on New Year's Eve of 1938. Despite the awkward timing of Sheboygan's inclusion into the NBL, the entire league would end up adjusting their schedules (including retroactively making some of the games prior NBL teams had played against the Red Skins official NBL games entering 1939) to allow for a relatively equal-looking number of games played for the rest of the league, including the Red Skins, with Sheboygan joining the now-eight team league going forward and the Red Skins entering the now-four team Western Division alongside the previously established four team Eastern Division. When the NBL retroactively added the Sheboygan Red Skins into the NBL by the end of 1938, they would already end up having an above-average 7–5 record after playing with nearly every single team in games that were originally considered exhibition games with NBL teams at the time before they later got upgraded into official NBL scheduled games for this season. When the Red Skins played their first officially scheduled game by the NBL's own terms properly on January 2, 1939, on the road ag
