Without commenting on the uniforms, which I'm just going to assume have no bearing and are just there to illustrate the team itself, why so many conference switches? Why are the Jets and Giants in the same division now? The only way these amount of switches would occur is if they went to an Eastern/Western geographical conferences... but that's not what you did. It's like you just switched teams for the hell of it.

This realignment idea... just plain TRBL (Turrible)!

Fixed it for ya

I figured that a East/West format wouldn't be a good idea in the NFL. Oh, well, anyway...

I give you the NFL, had the Colts, Cardinals, Rams, and Oilers not moved to Indianapolis, Phoenix, St. Louis, and Nashville respectively. (More like a "what if" than a realignment, but then again... just a thought)

For those about to freak out over a possible 7-9 or 6-10 playoff team from the NFC West, I propose the return to 3 divisions to a conference.

Fixed it.

Had the USFL and/or the XFL merged with the NFL, this is what the NFL would look like:

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

EAST

• Baltimore Ravens (formerly Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars)
  
• Buffalo Bills
  
• Miami Dolphins
  
• New England Patriots
  
• New York Jets
  

NORTH

• Chicago Enforcers
  
• Cincinnati Bengals
  
• Cleveland Browns
  
• Indianapolis Colts
  
• Pittsburgh Steelers
  

SOUTH

• Birmingham Stallions
  
• Houston Texans
  
• Jacksonville Bulls
  
• Oklahoma City Bandits (moved from Tampa Bay)
  
• Tennessee Titans
  

WEST

• Denver Broncos
  
• Kansas City Chiefs
  
• Las Vegas Gamblers (merged with Houston Gamblers and later merged with XFL's Las Vegas Outlaws)
  
• Oakland Raiders
  
• San Diego Chargers
  

NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

EAST

• Dallas Cowboys
  
• New York Giants
  
• Orlando Renegades
  
• Philadelphia Eagles
  
• Washington Redskins
  

NORTH

• Chicago Bears
  
• Columbus Generals (moved from New Jersey)
  
• Detroit Lions
  
• Green Bay Packers
  
• Minnesota Vikings
  

SOUTH

• Atlanta Falcons
  
• Carolina Panthers
  
• Memphis Showboats
  
• New Orleans Saints
  
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  

WEST

• Arizona Cardinals
  
• Los Angeles Express
  
• St. Louis Rams
  
• San Francisco 49ers
  
• Seattle Seahawks
  

I hear what you're saying on the Brewers, Cubs, and Cardinals being in the same division, admiral.

With that said...

AMERICAN LEAGUE

East

• Baltimore Orioles
  
• Boston Red Sox
  
• New York Yankees
  
• Toronto Blue Jays
  

North

• Chicago White Sox
  
• Cleveland Indians
  
• Detroit Tigers
  
• Minnesota Twins
  

South

• Charlotte MLB expansion team
  
• Kansas City Royals
  
• Tampa Bay Rays
  
• Texas Rangers
  

West

• Los Angeles Angels
  
• Oakland A's
  
• Portland MLB expansion team
  
• Seattle Mariners
  

NATIONAL LEAGUE

East

• New York Mets
  
• Philadelphia Phillies
  
• Pittsburgh Pirates
  
• Washington Nationals
  

North

• Chicago Cubs
  
• Colorado Rockies
  
• Milwaukee Brewers
  
• St. Louis Cardinals
  

South

• Atlanta Braves
  
• Cincinnati Reds
  
• Florida Marlins
  
• Houston Astros
  

West

• Arizona Diamondbacks
  
• Los Angeles Dodgers
  
• San Diego Padres
  
• San Francisco Giants
  

(NOTE: might be strange to see the Kansas City Royals in the AL South, the Cincinnati Reds in the NL South, and the Colorado Rockies in the NL North, but this alignment might work)

If MLB does go back to the "2 divisions for each league" format, then I'd see it looking like this.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

East

• Baltimore
  
• Boston
  
• Charlotte
  
• Cleveland
  
• Detroit
  
• New York Yankees
  
• Tampa Bay
  
• Toronto
  

West

• Chicago White Sox
  
• Kansas City
  
• Los Angeles Angels
  
• Minnesota
  
• Oakland
  
• Portland
  
• Seattle
  
• Texas
  

NATIONAL LEAGUE

East

• Atlanta
  
• Cincinnati
  
• Miami
  
• Milwaukee
  
• New York Mets
  
• Philadelphia
  
• Pittsburgh
  
• Washington
  

West

• Arizona
  
• Chicago Cubs
  
• Colorado
  
• Houston
  
• Los Angeles Dodgers
  
• San Diego
  
• San Francisco
  
• St. Louis

I would love to see something like that... except I would move the Rockies to the NL North, and the Reds to the NL South, while keeping the D-Backs in the NL West.

This idea comes about partly due to the Coyotes' ownership situation being so odd.

Phoenix Coyotes move to AHL, and become the Canucks' new AHL affiliate.

Manitoba Moose move into Northwest Division, taking Phoenix's affiliates, and possibly renaming themselves the Jets.

Colorado moves to Pacific Division, taking Phoenix's vacated spot.

The rest of it is all mindless reel-line-mint.

Atlanta switches leagues with its AHL affiliate in Chicago. (The NHL players can stay in the NHL and vice versa.) The Wolves move into the Central Division, alongside the Blackhawks. There is a precedent for this; Chicago's MLB clubs get along just fine. I also think that a city with a metro population of 9.7 million people could easily support two NHL teams. As well, if any team was going to make a jump from the AHL to the NHL, I would think it would have to be the Wolves, because the team, unlike Atlanta, has actually won titles in its league, repeatedly. and they have their own TV deal!. Never mind that they are in the farm league to the NHL. If a team has a record of dominance, I think it deserves to be promoted to the next level.

Anyway, this move would now give the Central Division six teams. To fix that, Detroit moves back to the Eastern Conference, in the Northeast. This rekindles its Original Six rivalries. If the Wings want to schedule Chicago every year for a home-and-home, they can do so as well. Buffalo moves to the Atlantic Division, joining the Rangers as cross-state rivals. The beleaguered Islanders move to Kansas City's Sprint Center, and join the Central Division alongside St. Louis. Instant rivalry.

Now there are 6 teams in the Central and 4 in the Southeast, so we move Nashville.

New division structure:

Northwest: Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Minnesota

Central: Columbus, St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago Wolves, Chicago Blackhawks

Pacific: Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Jose, Dallas, Colorado

Northeast: Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Boston

Atlantic: Buffalo, New York, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia

Southeast: Nashville, Washington, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina.

Nice... but instead of Detroit, I would move Columbus to the Eastern Conference-Northeast Division, and move Boston to the Atlantic Division; meanwhile, I would rename the Pacific Division in the Western Conference, the Southwest Division.

Thought I might want to put this up since the Little League World Series has just begun.

I would like to have a raster of DirtyCurty's football template w/ numbers please.

Anyone have this template as a vector?:

Excuse me, but how do you make a concept with these templates?
