neo_prankster Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I don't get all the hate for Rockfish.To the fans who hate it, it sounds like a name that could've been given to an XFL team. The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Those who are smart know that the XFL went out of their way not to name any teams after animals.This league is doomed, just for all the venom being thrown its way for everything they do.

BroadwayBlueshirt Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Rockfish would be an XFL name if they were the ROXXFISHZ and their logo was a striped bass shredding some hot licks on a flying-V. But rockfish are an actual fish, who actually live in the San Francisco Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hettinger_rl Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This league is doomed, just for all the venom being thrown its way for everything they do.I agree and think that thats true of any football league that isnt the nfl. Sure the afl is popular, but its no star and doesnt get the respect of the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well, FWIW these name aren't official...I checked out the UFLAccess site and found that there were numerous names submitted for each team. However, if the folks at the UFL are as rigid as Clay Bennet and Co. are when they named the Thunder (that was the name they planned from Day 1, if you ask me), and don't do anything about it, and then release these names, then shame on them!!

Lee. Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 You're right, they're not official, but they're still better than pretty much anything MLS started with.But it still doesn't matter what this league does, everyone will still bitch and moan about name choices, uniform colors, name it, even if there's nothing to complain about. The whiners all want NFL quality output from a less-than-AFL quality league. It doesn't matter if Joe Bosack or Plan B does anything with the league identities, they'll still complain because it wasn't Flynn or Phoenix (k, that last one is a stretch).K, I'm done ranting. Go back to whatever it was you were doing.Remember: 6-game regular season. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyspitz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 LAS VEGAS LOCOMOTIVESWhat, no "Vegas" theme?? I cannot believe another Sin City team passed on "Kings", "Snake Eyes", or "Hangover".Technically it is a Las Vegas theme all be it not one that most people think of when they think of Las Vegas. Las Vegas after all was established as a railroad town for former Montana Senator William A. Clark's San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. So although Locomotives in itself is not a great name for the team, it does have a Las Vegas theme to it.I get the history, but I still think it should be the Las Vegas Locos. You can keep the train imagery, but make it a crazy train.As long as the logo depicts said crazy train literally goin off the rails.The Prince of Darkness approves this epic win.
