And a bit of news.  The Chicago Machine lost a trademark infringement lawsuit from a small machining company in Michigan, so they have to drop the M (originally from the Montreal Machine).   I have 2 options here, I can modify the Chicago Enforcers logo or I can create a new logo.  I am leaning towards the latter.  It will be a new logo, but one with significant inspiration from the Montreal Machine M, so not entirely new, which is something I am trying to avoid, using borrowed, or otherwises sourced logos whenever possible.   That new logo will be revealed soon. 

 

 

What about a third option: rebrand the team with a completely new identity? Maybe something along the lines of Chicago Bruisers?

Definitely voting for A

So what happens to the London and Mexico City teams?

Had to put this here since they went out of business recently

The only way the Minnesota Timberwolves move to the Eastern Conference is if the NBA expands to 32 teams by resurrecting the Seatlle SuperSonics and expanding to either Las Vegas, Vancouver, Kansas City, or St. Louis.

Also, both conferences would have to go with 2 8-team divisions

Just thought I'd leave this here.

• Atlanta Express
• Dallas Dragons
• Kansas City Bullfrogs
• New York Dutchmen
• Portland Stags
• Vancouver Bighorns

My idea of what a 32-Team MLB would look like:

• AMERICAN LEAGUE
  • EAST
    • Baltimore Orioles
    • Boston Red Sox
    • Charlotte Knights (EXPANSION)
    • Cleveland Indians
    • Detroit Tigers
    • New York Yankees
    • Tampa Bay Rays
    • Toronto Blue Jays
  • WEST
    • Chicago White Sox
    • Houston Astros
    • Kansas City Royals
    • Los Angeles/Long Beach/Anaheim Angels
    • Minnesota Twins
    • Oakland A's
    • Seattle Mariners
    • Texas Rangers
• NATIONAL LEAGUE
  • EAST
    • Atlanta Braves
    • Cincinnati Reds
    • Miami Marlins
    • Montreal Expos (EXPANSION)
    • New York Mets
    • Philadelphia Phillies
    • Pittsburgh Pirates
    • Washington Nationals
  • WEST
    • Arizona Diamondbacks
    • Chicago Cubs
    • Colorado Rockies
    • Los Angeles Dodgers
    • Milwaukee Brewers
    • St. Louis Cardinals
    • San Diego Padres
    • San Francisco Giants

If I had to guess from the teaser video, these would be the names:

• Seattle Dragons/Surge
• New York Gargoyles
• Houston Drillers/Roughnecks/Wildcatters
• Dallas Coyotes/Lobos/Wolves
• St. Louis Aces/Aviators/Thunderbirds/Thunderbolts
• Washington/DC Defenders/Guardians/Soldiers
• Tampa Bay Vipers
• Los Angeles Outlaws/Renegades/Rough Riders

I would rename the Sacramento team from "Kraken" to "Octopodes". The reason is because the Kraken name wouldn't make any sense for a team playing near the Pacific Ocean, since it is linked to Scandinavian folklore as a mythical creature that terrorized ships in the North Atlantic Ocean, near the coastlines of Norway and Greenland.

Therefore, I think Octopodes would be a more appropriate name for the Sacramento team, even though Sacramento is actually inland.

What I want to know is "where are the Charlotte Flyers uniforms?"

• My team name suggestions:
  • Atlanta Bees
  • Cincinnati Shamrocks
  • Cleveland Stags
  • Denver Bighorns
  • Kansas City Knights
  • Las Vegas Rattlers
  • Indianapolis Railmen
  • Memphis Hounds
  • Minneapolis Minnesota Lumberjacks
  • Montreal Rockets
  • Pittsburgh Hammers
  • Portland Cougars
  • San Francisco Orcas
• Also, the "Appalachian Division" should be called the "Southeast Division", and the "Central Division" should be called the "Midwest Division".

Which team is next up? Also, when do we get to see the New York City team's logo set?

If the XFL used USFL nicknames:

 

- Dallas Gunslingers

- Houston Outlaws

- Los Angeles Express

- New York Generals

- St. Louis Stallions

- Tampa Bay Bandits

- Washington Federals

Why not Houston Gamblers or St. Louis Showboats?

If the XFL brings back some of the USFL teams, like the Tampa Bay Bandits, those logos would have to be updated. 

Maybe the Bandits could use these logos that were originally created for the since-aborted A-11 Football League

My predictions on what colors the eight XFL teams will most likely have:

• Dallas: Burnt Orange and Maroon
• Houston: Columbia Blue, Red, and Silver
• Los Angeles: Royal Purple, Gold, and Black
• New York: Royal Blue and Orange
• St. Louis: Red, Gold, and Navy Blue
• Seattle: Hunter Green and Gold
• Tampa Bay: Green, Light Blue, Black, and Silver
• Washington: Crimson, Black, and Silver

I think the Arena Football League needs to bring back the "Ironman" rule, where all players (with the exception of the QB, the kicker, and the specialists) play both on offense and defense.

My XFL team name ideas:

• Dallas Armadillos
• Houston Wildcatters
• Los Angeles Bulldogs
• New York Guardians
• St. Louis Explorers
• Seattle Sea Kings
• Tampa Bay Sharks
• Washington Ambassadors

I submitted Cattle Drivers, as Wichita was the destination for cattle drives entering north from Texas in the 1870s.

Always enjoyed the look of Tampa Bay. You have any plans on doing a minor league concepts for the MLF?

@hugevolsfan already did an MLF minor league project. It's called the MLF Spring League.

Was Shockers the original name for the Seattle franchise?

I think they were originally the Seattle Thunderbolts

Wasn't expecting the Stallions to switch from Purple & Gold to Silver & Black. But nonetheless, the new look is quite impressive.

Also, excellent work with the new Purple & Black look for the San Francisco Hawks (though you might wanna fix the "Atlanta Blazers" typo in the header of their style guide)

Jeld-Wen Field is now called Providence Park

Also, you should give the Pioneers green pants for the road and yellow alternate uniforms. But nonetheless, the logos are great.
