YungMan Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The FAA was founded on December 16th, 1924 after a championship game between the Cleveland Bulldogs and the New York Knights. While both teams had found a great deal of success in a number of smaller leagues and the independent circuit, the two owners of these two successful franchises found it more lucrative to form a new, more stable league together. This decision would have an impact on American sports forever.(Authors Note) I was heavily inspired by Veras, History of a Fictional Football League.Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrcollis714 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nice work so far on the league logo. It definitely fits the era that the league was created in.

YungMan Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 The New York Knights Founded 1919 by a World War One veteran John Lyons, this team would find a great deal of success in its early years dominating the Atlantic football scene as winning several Championship Cups (The championship game would later be named the Lyons' Cup). This success would be continued until the 1970s where the Knights would have many losing seasons until 1984, where they drafted hall of famer Quarterback, Will Humphries. Under Humphries they won two more Lyons' Cups in 1989 and 1990. The Knights have been average for several years, but look to regain their former success under Coach Brian Bielski. Number of Lyons' Cups: 6 Previous Years Record: 9-7 Logo Uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I lack the ability to make more sophisticated logos so it will have to do for now. My timeline takes place in the modern era. I plan on writing the leagues history, as well as the each teams.

YungMan Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Boston ShamrocksThe Boston Shamrocks were founded in 1948 after the second world war. They were the second Boston football team in the FAA. The first team was Boston Minutemen, who had folded after 5 season in 1938. The Shamrocks struggled to find consist success until the 1970s were they won a single Lyon's Cup in 1974. The Shamrocks also proved to a strong franchise in the late 1990s and early 2000s, being a perennial playoff team and even winning another Lyon's Cup in 1998. Lately the have been a good team winning several division titles.Number of Lyons' Cups: 2 Previous Years Record: 11-5 Logo Uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O'Mac Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I like everything but the leg stripe. It appears that you've colored a panel on the pants rather than add a stripe, which doesn't look right to me. I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YungMan Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Buffalo BisonsThe Bisons were founded in 1970 and were first FAA football team in Buffalo, there had been an earlier team in the 1950s called the Bisons but they eventually folded after several years. The Bisons have been a successful team throughout their history but they have yet to win a single Lyon's Cup. They look to change this soon as many people view the Bisons the favorites as this season Lyon's Cup winner. With one of the best defenses in the Assoscation and a high powered passing attack they just might take home the cup.Number of Lyons' Cups: 0 Previous Years Record: 10-6 Logo Uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YungMan Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 The New Jersey Reds The New Jersey Reds have been forever in the shadow of their cross state rival, the Knights. Founded in 1984 with the merger with the USFA the Reds have built a rabid fan base in their home state of New Jersey. They have yet to reach and maintain a high level of success in the association, they are however hopeful of their future. This is from the drafting of Russell Shepard, a defensive end who just a dominant rookie season. The Reds also drafted a quarterback named Johnny Willas with their 3rd pick in the draft this year, hoping he might be the answer to their offensive woes last season.Number of Lyons' Cups: 0Previous Years Record: 4-12LogoUniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
