So the Sun Bowl just started on CBS and the intro graphics prominently featured saguaro cactuses, because, you know, all deserts are the same. But saguaro cactuses are features of the Sonora desert (up through Arizona), and El Paso is in the Chihuahuan desert, which features yuccas and creosote. C'mon, CBS. Do better.

The Houston Roughnecks dropped a goodbye message in social media today but now I can't find it! Maybe it'll be the Gamblers after all.

Looks great, but the sleeve between the two maroon jerseys should be silver.

It's already unraveling

Love it. But if you zoom in on the back of the blue jersey, there are some leftover red lines.

With all these teams coming out of nowhere day after day, it's starting to feel like the ABA 2000, where if you had $50 and a basketball, you, too, could have a franchise.

Arizonan here, the move to Glendale will cost the Rattlers some fans. It's an extra half hour drive w/o traffic, light rail doesn't go there, etc. Don't know how popular a new team will be but I'm guessing it'll have a shot.

They really are going small markets. But then again, the IFL just expanded to Fishers, Indiana...

I could see that "B" becoming a "D" very easily ...

I said "what do I know"! My bad, I was thinking of the conference championship. I knew they played in the title game.

I gotta think that one way or another the Maulers will survive, even if they're sharing the Canton hub. They're relatively close and they did win the championship. But what do I know?!

Love it. At what point does this supplant the full dragon on the helmet? It should!

Yeah, it ain't happening.

"[Amy Adams] Strunk’s family does [own] the Oilers logos, uniforms, and colors..." https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/houston-oilers-texans-uniforms/ Maybe they got it wrong, but companies can trademark colors and prevent other companies within the same business from using them. Titans/Strunk may let the Texans use the colors, but can probably stop them too.

https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/houston-oilers-throwbacks-titans-texans-18088911.php "The franchise changed its name to the Titans prior to the 1999 season, but still owns the rights to all things pertaining to the Oilers."

They CAN'T. The Titans own it.

They're going to preemptively take the Commanders name!

Oh my my. Oh hell yes.

Colts look like something you'd see on Wednesday night college football.

Intrigued by the "instantly mocked" TB feature...

I think it's time for LA or Texas, imo.

Let's bring back the Arizona Wranglers for me, too!

No black in the sleeve stripes, slightly different numbers. Overall super minor changes. But it's your thread, so whatever.

Good second idea on Birmingham. I like the Gamblers original 1980s gray, but this works.

I'm still seeing no reason for this thread other than your fantasy alt history. None of the unis you've shown so far has been different.
