This has basically become the primary logo of the Philadelphia 76ers, and somehow, it still has never been posted on the main sportslogos.net site.

The National Football League holds the trademark for Canton Bulldogs through its properties division.

Well, then, Canton/Ohio Maulers it is.

Why don't we call it the NAFL (North American Football League)?

BTW, I think the Pittsburgh Maulers should rebrand to the "Canton Maulers" or the "Ohio Maulers", since they play/would be playing all of their home games in Canton, OH anyway. Or even better, they could revive the old "Canton Bulldogs" name.

Also, I hope the newly merged league keeps the New Jersey Generals, who would be playing at either Rutgers' SHI Stadium or Red Bull Arena, since MetLife Stadium would be way too oversized for them.

Great work with this project so far.

BTW, I'm curious to see which musician the Marlins will crossover with. Could it be Ariana Grande? Pitbull? Camila Cabello? Flo Rida? Jason Derulo? Enrique Iglesias? New Found Glory? KC and the Sunshine Band? Or maybe even Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine?

Anyway, can't wait to see what you got for the Mets and Yankees respective music crossovers. I'm predicting Billy Joel for the Amazins and Jay-Z for the Pinstripes.

I wonder if @hugevolsfan has something new for the league and his website.

Zero home wins since October 12, 2019

If the Philadelphia 76ers have been using this (an updated version of their 1963-77 logo) as their primary logo, then how come it wasn't included in the team's initial reveal of their current "brand identity" in 2015?

I hope we'll be seeing these teams in this series:

• Milwaukee
• Canton
• Dayton
• Memphis
• Raleigh-Durham or Greensboro
• Baton Rouge
• Tampa Bay #2 (St. Petersburg)
• Miami #2 or Nassau, Bahamas
• Orlando
• West Virginia
• Atlanta #2
• Syracuse/Rochester or Niagara Falls
• Indianapolis #2 or Fort Wayne
• Colorado Springs
• Kansas City #2 or St. Louis
• Las Vegas #2
• Detroit #2 or Grand Rapids or Lansing
• Saint Paul, MN
• Phoenix #2 or Tucson
• Oakland or Sacramento
• Tacoma

Saskatoon Blues

1983 saw the Blues very close to moving to Saskatoon; They even had a mockup of what their uniform would look like; which I also replicated. However, Blues doesn't scream Saskatoon so I also came up with a new moniker for the team. Inspired by a team a little south the Blues rebrand to the Saskatoon Moose.

What if the Washington Capitals relocated to Seattle?

The other option for the Caps when they were not doing well in the 80's was to move from Washington DC to Washington State. They use the move as an opportunity to revive the Seattle Metropolitans

 

Why are "Moose" and "Metropolitans" spelled upside down in the respective roundel logos for Saskatoon and Seattle?

About the Commanders reverse retro: Seriously? White numbers on a yellow jersey? Couldn't you have gone with red on yellow?

And????

 

Really, not trying to be difficult, but if someone has something to add to a topic, even if it's just a thank you or praise, what's the problem? The answer you gave really doesn't address that.

*Sigh* You're right. It wasn't my best judgment.

I was thinking that everyone had forgotten about this thread. Then again, I was wrong.

Turns out this thread is just as important a contribution to this community today as it was then, even if it's been years since it was last updated.

I'm honestly curious, why? I mean his comment on this subject is very valid and not spamming at all.

The thing is... @hugevolsfan hasn't given an update on this topic in quite some time.

Can we please not bump up old topics, kind sir or madam?

Hey all,

 

A chance for you to influence some choices I will be making.  We are adding 3 new teams through expansion (as well as the return of the Atlanta Fire) and I would love your thoughts on what to do with these possible cities.  So, give me your thoughts, and remember, I am trying to use real world logos/identities as much as possible, but I am fine with relocating teams (NY/NJ Knights to STL or Orlando Thunder to Portland are two examples).  

So, what names/logos do you think make sense for these potential USFL cities?:

 

St. Louis 

Portland

Dallas

Miami

Charlotte or Raleigh, NC

Virginia Beach/Norfolk

Minneapolis/St. Paul

Kansas City

 

Feel free to borrow from other pro football leagues or even  other sports as sources of identity for a new USFL club. 

• St. Louis: River Kings (city is located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and is named for King Louis IX of France; logo based on AAF's Atlanta Legends)
• Portland: Seals (based on The Spring League's Sea Lions)
• Dallas: Chaparrals (named after former ABA team of the same name, who are now in the NBA as the San Antonio Spurs)
• Miami: Manatees (based on aborted CFL-USA team of the same name) or Sharks/Makos (logo would be based on the FXFL's Blacktips)
• Charlotte or Raleigh, NC: Aviators/Flyers (named for the Wright Brothers and the world's first controlled, sustained flights of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft in North Carolina's Outer Banks in 1903; logo would be based on The Spring League's Aviators) or Cobras (named after ArenaFL and NAL version of the team of the same name; logo would be based on ArenaFL's Cobras, but with the colors of the NAL's Cobras)
• Virginia Beach/Norfolk: Destroyers (based on UFL team of the same name)
• Minneapolis/St. Paul: Red Hawks/Redhawks/RedHawks (named for the red-tailed hawk, which is commonly found in Minnesota)
• Kansas City: Beat/Soul/Jazz/Blues (named for the Kansas City Jazz and Jump Blues styles of music that is well recognized in the area; logo based on ArenaFL's Philadelphia Soul)

If only Pittsburgh used this logo somehow...

Wait, doesn't the Steelers already use a variant of the U.S. Steel logo?

If you don't mind, may I add this?

I should also add this, as it never really got off the ground

Well you also had the Roughriders and Rough Riders in the CFL for a time. 

Right. The whole Saskatchewan and Ottawa thing.

Thank you, it's something I wanted to add for story building and lore. Plus it's a good way to keep Two Stallions in the league

Now that I see it, it reminds me of when the AHL had two "Admirals" playing in the same league back then.

Just think I should point out Kansas City and Dallas are both the Renegades.

Oh, that's right. Only one of them should be named "Renegades"

Here's my proposal for the Western Division:

 

Anaheim Express (relocated Los Angeles Express, USFL)
Arizona Hotshots (AAF)
Honolulu Hawaiians (WFL)
Las Vegas Outlaws (XFL1)
Los Angeles Wildcats (XFL2)
Oakland Invaders (USFL)
Portland Storm (WFL)
Sacramento Surge (WLAF)
Salt Lake Stallions (AAF)
San Diego Fleet (AAF)
San Francisco Demons (XFL1)
Seattle Dragons (XFL2)

Proposal DENIED

And besides, the Express and Stallions names are already taken by the Louisville and Birmingham teams respectively.

With that said, here's my proposal for a Western Division:

• Arizona Hotshots (AAF) -- ALREADY IN
• Honolulu Hawaiians (WFL)
• Las Vegas Outlaws (XFL 2001)

• Oakland Invaders (USFL)
• Portland Storm (WFL)

• San Diego Fleet (AAF)
• San Francisco Demons (XFL 2001)
• San Jose SaberCats (Arena)
• Seattle Dragons (XFL 2020)
• Utah Blaze (Arena)

My vote is for San Jose Invaders

Numbers on the maroon Machine 3D shoulders don't match the 2D version. 

 

Otherwise in love it. 

In fact, it comes from the Jacksonville Bulls uniforms on the previous page

XFL hitmen logo would actually go pretty well with “Bruisers”

@BengalErnstI think you mean this logo, right?

One more for you before the Chicago reveal.  Here are the new look New Jersey Generals.   Some keys:

 

1. Return of the laurel leaf logo,but still with blue outlining (see USFL 2022 for inspiration).

2. Drop shadow numbers. with gold and blue outlines. 

3. New secondary logo (too good to resist) now a patch on the chest.

4. Side panels morph into pant stripe with an "epaulette" concept (Tried it on shoulders, did not like it.)

5. New wordmark with state of NJ included for emphasis. 

 

 

@WideRightThe numbers on the home jersey don't match in the bottom pic. But nonetheless, this Generals redesign is just fantastic, especially with the addition of the alternate logo.
