As much as people want it to happen, the Redskins are never changing their name, and any new owner that tries to change will likely be branded a socialist/commie/marxist/Nazi by the fans.

One would be branded a Nazi for removing a derogatory label?

I'm not sure that any intelligent fan would do that, regardless of their allegiance or appreciation for the history of the club as the Redskins.

But there's a possibility given all the irrationality in this country lately.

Only lately?

By lately I meant with the town hall disruptions since 09 and all that.

But there's a possibility given all the irrationality in this country lately.

So I take at that the return of the Phoenix Roadrunners and the lack of the Manitoba Moose is indicative of the Coyotes moving back to Winnipeg?

I loved both growing up, I'm a bit torn between which I'd rather see: Utah Grizzlies or Salt Lake Golden Eagles.

Well, I think the Roadrunners have a better nickname than the Yotes, and the latter team's return to Winnipeg, as much as hockey fans want it, might not come true. If I was in Utah, I'd choose to watch the Grizzlies.

FYI, the Blazers and Steelhounds are both defunct.

True, but they can always come back for a couple years at a time.

Hmmm... interesting topics, so why not do what the NFL will look like in 10 years...

National Football League

American Football Conference

Western Division

Denver Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs

Oakland Raiders

San Diego Chargers

Northern Division

Baltimore Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers

Southern Division

Houston Texans

Indianapolis Colts

San Antonio Stars (Expansion team, though one can hope...)

St. Louis Bombers (Perhaps a nod to the Greatest Show On Turf)

Eastern Division

Buffalo Bills

Miami Dolphins

New England Patriots

New York Jets

National Football Conference

Western Division

Los Angeles Rams (The Rams are relocated back to Los Angeles after Ed Roski and his ownership group buy out Stanley Kroenke, who later purchases and then moves the Jacksonville Jaguars to St. Louis)

Phoenix Firebirds (I know, shameless plug...)

San Francisco 49ers

Seattle Seahawks

Northern Division

Chicago Bears

Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers

Minnesota Vikings

Southern Division

Atlanta Falcons

Carolina Panthers

New Orleans Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eastern Division

Dallas Cowboys

New York Giants

Philadelphia Eagles

Washington Warriors (The politically correct crowd finally wins, after Daniel Snyder loses ownership of the team to a richer and more left-leaning owner)

As much as people want it to happen, the Redskins are never changing their name, and any new owner that tries to change will likely be branded a socialist/commie/marxist/Nazi by the fans.

Denver Broncos

Houston Drillers

All the other divisions would be the same as right now.

I like NBA courts and jerseys from the 90's

Your opinion is popular with me personally.

These were some of my favourite oilers jerseys ever

these are my favourite flames jerseys

and the Houston Oilers baby blues were beautiful

Those designs are still popular with me personally.

My unpopular favorites

- NY Rangers' Liberty sweaters.

- Jazz's late 90's uniforms.

- Angels' late 90's uniforms.

- Ducks' Disney era uniforms.

- Saints' Jim Mora, Sr. era uniforms.

- Ravens 1996 uniforms.

- NY Giants 80's-90's uniforms.

- Chargers' 90's uniforms.

Really? Nobody has posted this yet?

Perhaps it wasn't posted because after 6 or 7 championships, LeBron will be best remembered as a Miami Heat.

No, he will be best remembered as a douchebag.

Not only will Lebron be remembered as a douche, but he will also be remembered for not being able to win the big one.

Man, those divisions were so messed up. It's like they had floating realignment.

Yeah, but remember, it was what the owners wanted simply because it was the only one with Dallas in the NFC East and Minnesota in the NFC Central.

So, if the old NFL alignment from 1970 through 2001 was like a floating one, somebody oughta step out and tell that to Selig before he pulls the trigger on his floating realignment plan.

For those who preferred the NFL when they had 30 teams instead of 32, here's how I would've done it.

AFC East:

Buffalo Bills

Indianapolis Colts

Miami Dolphins

New England Patriots

New York Jets

AFC Central:

Baltimore Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals

Cleveland Browns

Houston Oilers

Pittsburgh Steelers

AFC West:

Denver Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs

Oakland Raiders

San Diego Chargers

Seattle Seahawks

NFC East:

Arizona Cardinals

Dallas Cowboys

New York Giants

Philadelphia Eagles

Washington Redskins

NFC Central:

Chicago Bears

Detroit Lions

Green Bay Packers

Minnesota Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFC West:

Atlanta Falcons

Carolina Panthers

Los Angeles Rams

New Orleans Saints

San Francisco 49ers

You don't have either Chicago (Bobby) or St. Louis (Brett) in the Hull division! HA! You stupid idiot. Realignment fail!

Bobby played for the Jets long before their move to Phoenix and Brett played for a short time for the Stars.

I don't know if anybody else has asked for it, but can someone identify the font the Falcons used for their pre-1998 script?

http://christopdesign.com/collections/more_sports/NFL/Atlanta%20Falcons/slides/Atlanta_Falcons_title80.html

Added points because of the Phillies name.

Looks more like PhiLLLies to me.

Former Frankfurt Galaxy tight end Werner Hippler...

...on the Charger practice squad

...as a Cologne Centurion

Kurt Warner as a Barnstormer...

...and as an Admiral

Can someone identify the font the now-defunct Admirals used for their wordmark?
