Good start so far.
The proposed design still looks a little teal. Maybe tweak it to more of a Columbia or Carolina blue.
But down the road, I'd love for San Diego to have a MABL team.

Just realized I had not posted these design options for Dallas's franchise yet.
It has been revealed that the 2009 League Champion Boston Cannons are the club that has been sold to Mark Cuban and his Dallas investment group. They will relocate and play the 2013 season as the Dallas Roughnecks. There is currently a poll on the USFL Alt History Website (The USFL Lives) to pick the color combo and uniforms for the team.
Here are the three options, with notes in each image outlining where the inspiration comes from for each.How come the Cannons are leaving????
Has the USFL failed in Boston TWICE??????

Next up is a DC team, which is also this league's D.C. team.
14. Washington Wings (Wonder Woman)
Name: Being in the nation’s capital, Washington’s NHSL franchise didn’t need to look much further than the USA’s national symbol; the spread wings of a bald eagle - representing freedom and the American way - inspired the club’s nickname.
Logo: The team’s current logo is a pair of stacked Ws with a pair of wings, resembling an eagle in flight. Nicknamed the “Weagle” by fans, it’s a simple, clever design and hailed as one of the best in the league, if not all sports.
Alternate Logo: This modern redesign of the beloved Weagle is more angular and slightly more detailed, now featuring a protrusion vaguely resembling an eagle’s head - apparently calling back to an earlier incarnation of the Wings logo - and a pair of hockey sticks which have awkwardly been placed in front.
Colours: American red, white and navy blue, paired with metallic gold. The latter was introduced into their colourway during the 90’s and soon became the focal point of their jersey crests.
Uniforms: Inspired by both the US Flag and the Flag of Washington, D.C.; the red, white and blue home and road uniforms are decorated with 3 stars on each sleeve, on the front and back of the hem stripes, as well as on the pants. The jersey stripes also feature thin strips of metallic gold.
Third Jersey: The modernised Weagle crest with the hockey sticks is featured on the Wings’ alternate uniform. The stars decorating the home and road sweaters have been relegated to the hanger effect; more emphasis is instead placed on metallic gold, with a striping design inspired by their logo.Wonder Woman’s logo is nothing short of excellent and is pretty much ready made for hockey, arguably comparable to the likes of the Flyers and Whalers; the only change I’ve made is shortening the wingspan a bit to give the jersey crest slightly more verticality and more presence on the jerseys.
The Washington Wings name was inspired by the logo itself; the two Ws and the wings that they form together, as well as the alliteration made it the obvious choice. Notably Wonder Woman herself flies without any wings, however her logo was based on a bald eagle and all the American symbolism associated with it, so it made sense to go that route. Something like the Wanderers might also work as a pun on her name, but the Wings felt more appropriate both to the locale and her logo’s design history.
As a Mirror Universe version of the Capitals, the primary jerseys are a mashup of them and Wonder Woman’s costume. I mostly referenced the Caps 80’s as well as their 90’s uniforms, but with the navy blue from their modern look. The third jersey and its crest are more directly based on Wonder Woman’s DCEU appearance; the film version of her logo kind of looks like it has a pair of hockey sticks on it, so I ran with this and made them more prominent as that seems like something a hockey team might do.
Very nicely done!
I know this series has been dormant for a while. But I still want to see this continue!

If we're talking modern times, I seem to recall Miami having alternate green jerseys in the latter part of the '90s alongside their orange primaries.
EDIT: yep, they did. Jarrett Payton circa 1997:
Fake afteredit: now that I think about it, Northwestern may have also had alternate jerseys during that timeframe, as well. It would have been around the time of Darnell Autry and Damien Anderson if they did, but I don't feel like looking right now...
Who is Miami playing against in that photo? It's hard to tell without seeing any visible logos.

The East and West divisions split into North East & South East and North West and South West. 34 playoff teams, 17 per conference.
Season format:
- Now the Hall of Fame game is no more, but Canton hosts 2 games per season. 22 games, 10 against the division, 6 games against another division in the conference, 1 game each against teams from the other four divisions depending on where you finish in the division, and 2 interconference games, one against a fixed opponent and another against a random opponent.
- TNF is back and it is on Amazon with of course the home markets of the local team having the game OTA. There are five Thanksgiving games (1 each on CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC and CW.)
Postseason format:
- 14 vs 17 and 15 vs 16 in the play-in round, the lowest seeded winner playing #1 and the highest winner playing #2.
- Super Bowl is now played in March. The new NFL year gets pushed to April and the Draft gets pushed to May.
- Pro Bowl (which stays at 1 week before the Super Bowl) is still a traditional 11 on 11 tackle football game. Winning conference will earn a 10 million dollar bonus for the players and 10 million each for all 36 teams for a local charity.
Television & Streaming:
- AFC Package: CBS & Paramount+ (1st selection of games) and ABC & ESPN+ (2nd selection)
- NFC Package: FOX & Tubi (1st selection) and NBC and Peacock (2nd selection)
- Sunday Night Football: NBC & Peacock
- Monday Night Football: ABC & Disney+
- International Games: CW/Nexstar+ (all season), NFL Network (late season), ESPN+ (streaming)
- Saturday Night Football: TNT/MAX & NFL Network
- NFL Sunday Ticket: Netflix
- Super Bowl & Pro Bowl: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and CW
2084 means I'll be 96. Sadly, there's a 50/50 chance I won't be around for this scenario.

I was watching the Bandits vs Stars at Wembley. Strangely they put the Union jack on the back of his jersey for some reason. Everyone else wore it on the front left collar. One of the linemen actually wore his Wembley jersey at some time during the 1985 season as well.
The mockup has a Champion patch on the left sleeve, but some players also wore Speedline jerseys which had a patch on the right and left sleeves.
Didn't linemen already have their jersey sleeves shorter than the ball carriers by that point?

That's a good list. A couple of questions/comments:
- The mention of Vipers brought to mind the now-defunct XFL team from Las Vegas. Are you contemplating opting for an alternative nickname, or do you intend to stick with the Vipers?
- In the Northwest Division, there are three newly added expansion teams, the highest number among all divisions. Have you considered relocating one of these expansion teams to a different division?
- I love seeing the Spirits back in the NBA and great alternative name choice for Memphis (I remember it was a soccer team name in the 1990s).
My mindset was that if Vegas got a team, whomever ends up being the owner could try to buy the Viper name from the UFL if Dany and The Rock still have the trademark. I just typed that one up because I wasn't feeling very creative earlier today.
I wasn't sure what other nicknames could've worked for Vancouver so I did a Bobcats/Hornets/Pelicans exchange with Memphis.
How would this look for the Western Conference? At first, I was trying to avoid breaking up the California and Texas rivalries. In short, I based that initial lineup on what the NBA looks like currently in real life.
Division A
Seattle Supersonics
Sacramento Kings
Utah Jazz
Portland Trailblazers
Vancouver Grizzlies
Golden State Warriors
Division B
LA Clippers

Division C

Memphis Jackals
New Orleans Pelicans
Dallas Mavericks
Houston Rockets
San Antonio Spurs

I have an idea for a thread of NFL uniform concepts that merge different eras of teams into one uniform set for each team.
I just wish I was remotely proficient at concept uniforms and logos.
So basically a gridiron version of the NHL's Reverse Retros or the NBA's Mixtapes?

According to the team directory in the Colts' 1964 media guide, the darker pre-Lombardi shade was also called Burgundy.
Why is silver listed as a color for the Browns and Colts?
Didn't Jim Kensil work for the Jets' front office after this?
Also, didn't the Packers phase out Navy Blue before they hired Vince Lombardi or after?

I don't know about this forum but for me, having the Patriots wear a red top has always been absurd, nauseating, & disgusting. Never liked the look. You're named the patriots! Red tops = British. Very un-American. Also, the patriots dynasty had the focus being blue and then navy blue. Like the Bucs creamsicle uniform, this look need to stay in the grave.
Blue makes more sense now for the Pats. But I think the red shirts at the beginning were because the Bills, Titans (now Jets) and Oilers each wore blue in the old AFL East.

Option 1 for sure.
Although, I do feel bad for the fans in Boston losing the USFL twice.
