If I'm right, then Portland is next

A week without comments? C'MON MAN!

But anyway, the Tigers uniforms are simply fantastic. Can't wait for the rest of the teams.

CCSLC has been compromised! Have we been hacked?

Keep up the good work! The whole league, and especially the New York teams, all look fantastic. My favorite so far has to be the Generals and their military-inspired alternates.

HE HAS RETURNED!!!

Anyway, it's great to see the return of your Major League Football project. And it's off to a great start. Can't wait to see what else is new this time around.

Also, the Buffalo Rhinos (formerly Toronto Rhinos) could use a better alternate logo

Sonic 2006:

From how I see the 2018 Triple-A Affiliate Shuffle...

• Las Vegas 51s: Mets ---> D'Backs
• Reno Aces: D'Backs ---> A's
• Nashville Sounds: A's ---> Twins
• Rochester Red Wings: Twins --> Mets

This probably makes a lot of sense.

The new NFL:

 

 

 

(1): Based in Phoenix.

(2): Based in Newark.

(3): Based in Virginia Beach.

I highly doubt the NFL-CFL merger is gonna happen.

An NHL without a Canadian presence = BLASPHEMY! That's like Guy LaFleur wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey!

As you can see, I like the MLB alignment very much, and made almost no changes except with expansion teams.

NHL

32 Teams, 2 Conferences, 4 Conferences of 8 Teams

NBA: I'd put Atlanta in the Atlantic and Memphis in the Southeast.

NHL: I think the Eastern Conference's Central Divsion should be renamed the Northeast Division, while the Western Conference's Plains Division should be renamed the Central Division; makes more sense that way.

Following a Successful NFL-WFL Merger, The NHL Merged the WHA in 1977 with a New Alignment

 

American Conference

East: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals
Central: Birmingham Bulls (WHA), Cincinnati Stingers (WHA), Cleveland Barons, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins
West: Edmonton Oilers (WHA), Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Roadrunners (WHA), San Francisco Seals (Relocated from Minnesota - WHA)

 

National Conference

East: Atlanta Flames, Hartford Whalers (WHA), New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers, Quebec Nordiques (WHA)
Central: Chicago Blackhawks, Houston Aeros (WHA), Indianapolis Racers (WHA), Minnesota North Stars, St. Louis Blues
West: Calgary Cowboys (WHA), Colorado Rockies, San Diego Mariners (WHA), Vancouver Canucks

 

In 1985, The Phoenix Road Runners moved to Tampa, FL and Became the Tampa Bay Lightning however the NHL Expanded to Kansas City, MO (Blades) and Ottawa, ON (Senators) in 1990 and relocated the Cincinnati Stingers to Seattle, WA and Became the Totems

 

American Conference

East: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals
Central: Birmingham Bulls, Cleveland Barons, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning
West: Edmonton Oilers, Kansas City Blades, Los Angeles Kings, San Francisco Seals, Seattle Totems

 

National Conference

East: Hartford Whalers, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Quebec Nordiques
Central: Atlanta Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Indianapolis Racers, Minnesota North Stars, St. Louis Blues
West: Calgary Cowboys, Colorado Rockies, Houston Aeros, San Diego Mariners, Vancouver Canucks

 

Then in 1993 the NHL Continued with Southern Movement, The Atlanta Flames moved to Miami and Became the Miami Flames and the Indianapolis Racers moved to Charlotte, NC and became the Charlotte Racers, while 2 More Teams joined the NHL which led to a realignment as the Dallas Texans and the Milwaukee Admirals enter for the first time.

 

American Conference

East: Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals
Central: Buffalo Sabres, Cleveland Barons, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins
South: Birmingham Bulls, Dallas Texans, Kansas City Blades, Tampa Bay Lightning
West: Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, San Francisco Seals, Seattle Totems

 

National Conference

East: Hartford Whalers, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Quebec Nordiques
Central: Chicago Blackhawks, Milwaukee Admirals, Minnesota North Stars, Philadelphia Flyers
South: Charlotte Racers, Houston Aeros, Miami Flames, St. Louis Blues
West: Calgary Cowboys, Colorado Rockies, San Diego Mariners, Vancouver Canucks

So you merge the NHL with the WHA, and YOU DON'T INCLUDE THE MONTREAL CANADIENS?! That's blasphemy! The Montreal Canadiens are an Original Six franchise, and you can't have an NHL without the Canadiens!

ALTERNATE REALITY MLB (WHAT IF THE DODGERS NEVER MOVED TO LOS ANGELES?)

• 1957-58 MLB Offseason: After Robert Moses rejected his proposal to build a new domed stadium in Downtown Brooklyn, Walter O'Malley decides to take Moses' alternative proposition of moving his ballclub to a new ballpark in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, thus renaming themselves the New York Dodgers; meanwhile, Horace Stoneham -- owner of the New York Giants    Baseball Club -- pulls his team out of the aging Polo Grounds in Manhattan and relocates them to the Upper Midwest, settling in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the team would be rechristened as the Minnesota Giants; with the Giants relocating to Minnesota, the Dodgers are ensured that New York City still has a National Leauge franchise.
• 1958-59 MLB Seasons: With the new stadium in Queens under construction, the Dodgers play their final 2 seasons at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, with selected games at the Polo Grounds -- ironically, the former home of their now-former crosstown rivals, the Giants -- and Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey.
• 1960 MLB Season: The newly-rechristened New York Dodgers officially move into their new home ballpark in Flushing Meadows; the stadium is named "Walter F. O'Malley Municipal Stadium" after the franchise's owner.
• 1960-61 MLB Offseason: The original Washington Senators relocate to Los Angeles, California, and are renamed the Los Angeles Angels; however, the Nation's Capital would not be without baseball for long, as the American League adds a new Washington Senators franchise as one of two expansion teams; the other being the San Francisco Seals.
• 1961-62 MLB Offseason: Following suit with the AL from the previous offseason, the National League expands with 2 new franchises of their own: the Houston Colt .45s (which would later become the Houston Astros) and the Los Angeles Stars.
• 1965-66 MLB Offseason: Despite their newfound success in Milwaukee -- after relocating from Boston in 1953 -- the Braves still relocate to Atlanta due to two factors: 1) William Bartholomay, who purchased the team in 1962, desired to move them to a larger TV market; and 2) the fast-growing city of Atlanta, GA -- led by Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. -- had just completed a new stadium in hopes of bringing an existing MLB and/or NFL/AFL team to the area.
• 1968-69 MLB Offseason: MLB expands 4 more teams (2 in the AL, and 2 in the NL); The American League receives the Seattle Pilots and the Milwaukee Brewers, while the National League adds the Oakland Oaks and the Montreal Royales (the latter of the two being the first MLB franchise to play in Canada).
• Before 1970 MLB Season: Due to financial woes, poor play on the field, and the fact that they had to play at a dilapidated former minor league baseball stadium -- Sick's Stadium, the long time home of the then-Pacific Coast League's Rainiers -- the Seattle Pilots were declared bankrupt one week before the start of the 1970 MLB season, thus, clearing the way for their move to San Diego, CA; the team would then be purchased by prominent San Diego businessman C. Arnholdt Smith, who rechristened them the San Diego Padres (after the former PCL team which he owned).
• 1971-72 MLB Offseason: The Washington Senators relocate to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area of Texas and rebrand themselves as the Texas Rangers.
• 1975-76 MLB Offseason: The American League approves 2 new expansion franchises to begin play in 1977: The Seattle Mariners (after the city of Seattle, King County, and the state of Washington agreed to drop their lawsuit against the AL for breach of contract, after the Pilots' relocation to San Diego in 1970) and the Toronto Blue Jays (the 2nd MLB Canadian franchise).
• June 1991: The National League approves expansion bids for both Denver, CO and Miami, FL; the two clubs -- respectively named the Colorado Rockies and the Florida (now Miami) Marlins -- would begin play in 1993.
• March 9, 1995 (During 1994-95 MLB Strike): MLB names Phoenix, AZ, and Tampa, FL, as expansion franchises, both beginning play in 1998; the Phoenix franchise (which would be known as the Arizona Diamondbacks) would play in the National League, while the Tampa franchise (which would become the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and later simply the Tampa Bay Rays) would play in the American League); since interleague play didn't exist at the time of the announcement, the San Diego Padres would agree to move from the AL to the NL to ensure that both leagues had an even number of teams (the AL with 14 teams, and the NL with 16).
• September 29, 2004: MLB announces the relocation of the Montreal Royales to Washington, D.C., for the 2005 season; the team would be renamed the Washington Nationals.
• 2012-13 MLB Offseason: The Houston Astros move from the National League to the American League, giving both leagues 15 teams and ensuring season-long interleague play.

My NFL:

And I'd keep the 16 week schedule, and either get rid of the bye week during the regular season, or if they have to have it, give one conference off one week (week 8), the other conference off the following week (week 9). That would never fly due to television only getting 8 games to televise vs. 13, 14, 15 or 16. It would also never fly in this day and age because of fantasy :-\

Step 8 - De-merge the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans (Houston keeps the Oilers name).

Step 9 - Return the NFL to its 2002 realignment format (That means the Seattle Seahawks return to the Halas Conference).

I did some thinking about how Division I FBS should look. A lot of it is based on how conferences used to look, but I tried not to just go all-out on the old conferences. There are ten conferences (the same as it is now) and a group of seven independents (three more than there are now).

South: Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, North Carolina State

Nice. Though, I would keep Syracuse in the ACC, so both that and the Big East would have an even number of teams.

A B1G without Iowa or Purdue? Never in a million years.

With some of the new moves, I figured that I could take a crack at realigning the AHL and the NBA D-League.

First off, the AHL. It'll be a 16/14 format similar to the NHL is. With the addition of the Adirondack Flames, the Eastern Conference gets 16 teams while the Western Conference has 14.

Eastern Conference

Atlantic Division

-Bridgeport

-Hartford

-Manchester

-Portland

-Providence

-Springfield

-St. John's

-Worcester

East Division

-Adirondack

-Albany

-Binghamton

-Hershey

-Lehigh Valley

-Norfolk

-Syracuse

-Wilkes-Barre/Scranton

Western Conference

North Division

-Grand Rapids

-Hamilton

-Lake Erie

-Milwaukee

-Rochester

-Toronto

-Utica

West Division

-Charlotte

-Chicago

-Iowa

-Rockford

-Oklahoma City

-San Antonio

-Texas

As for the NBA D-League, it'll have 18 teams, so three 6 team divisions makes the most sense here.

East Division

-Canton

-Delaware

-Erie

-Fort Wayne

-Maine

-Westchester

Central Division

-Austin

-Grand Rapids

-Iowa

-Sioux Falls

-Texas

-Tulsa

West Division

-Bakersfield

-Idaho

-Los Angeles

-Reno

-Rio Grande Valley

-Santa Cruz

I like the NBA D-League idea, but here's what I think AHL's realignment should look like:

• Bridgeport
• Hartford
• Manchester
• Portland
• Providence
• Springfield

• Albany

• Charlotte

• Lehigh Valley
• Norfolk

jlog3000's NBA Realignment plan makes sense.
