It sounds like Philadelphia (Chester, PA) will be part of the PLL going forward. If not as a home city to one of the 8 teams, it may be a regular championship site.

Now we await which cities the PLL clubs will inhabit. 

Could have sworn they said the cities would be announced during the championship game months ago.

Archers beat Waterdogs 15-14

This would be a great look with yellow socks. They would make total sense with the pant stripes too. 

Jalen Ramsey showed us how good the Rams blue pants could look with yellow socks last season. Unfortunately it was with the bone jerseys.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think the angular Jets wordmark is far superior to the rounded one.

Championship game is set. Selection of the 8 home cities for next season should be coming soon.

Did anybody else watch the San Jose State/Oregon State game? This was visually odd to see during a D1 college football game. They could have at least put proper seats in the grass berm area. This side faces the hard camera. Seems like that should be a feature in an endzone feature, not a sideline.

Oddly enough both Wazzu and Oregon State played on the road against MWC teams week 1.

Now that UNLV's hopes of joining the PAC 12 are all but dead now, do they get kicked out of the Raider's stadium at some point? How long are they required to stay there? What benefit do the Raiders get in letting them occupy their stadium a couple Saturdays each fall now that UNLV is seemingly Mountain West for life? UNLV home games at Allegiant can't be a significant cash cow. I've caught a couple of their games on TV, they weren't exactly selling out the house.

Honestly surprised the Big Ten didn't take Cal and Stanford to both secure the Bay Area market, and have all the major west coast D1 programs in their conference. The scenario for Wazzu and Oregon State may be to join the Mountain West. I doubt any of remaining power conferences want either of them.

On paper Wazzu and Oregon State would likely be the top teams in the MWC for pretty much every sport in the first couple of years. Guess it depends on how many current athletes would transfer out.

Not the biggest fan of the wolf head logo on NC State's helmets. Not enough red in it for me. Prefer the red NCS logo.

2024 Championship Series participants are set.

TUNA? lol It's just UNA.

I'm a member of a D2 message board. They were known as TUNA around those parts by the fans of the other GSC teams (their former conference in D2).

Thought this was a decent looking game. Has TUNA (North Alabama) officially changed their colors since they moved up to FCS?

- Vandy doesn't look half bad, shiny helmets and stripes go a long way, though that logo has only shrunk on me.

Vanderbilt looked pretty good. Sometimes teams just need to keep it simple.

May have been a better looking game if Hawaii wore green pants instead of black.

I don't think we'll see it drop that much, possibly top 6. But I hate playoffs where everyone in the league is all but guaranteed a spot.

Rabil's justification for the screwy playoff formats this league has been using was wanting players to get as many game checks as possible. I think there is a way to do that without allowing 87.5% of the league in to the playoffs. My solution, send the teams eliminated from playoff contention on an international tour. While the top 4 (in my ideal PLL) teams battle it out for the league championship, the bottom four could play exhibition games against national teams from outside North America. They could vlog it and everything

Now if Josh Harris would just drop coin on some gold pants that would be swell.

I thought TBGKon was being implying that Charlotte's logo was inspired by DSU's previous logo

This seven team playoff nonsense needs to end. Seriously hope they reduce it to top four in the near future.

My high school football team basically wore something similar to that, but in Cleveland Browns colors. 

Makes me wonder if any school/team ever had a set of jerseys pull double duty between football and lacrosse. At a point between the late 80's and mid 90's some jerseys for each sport essentially had the same layout. Particularly the short cut/mid drift era of jerseys.

Didn't expect to see the Saints in gold pants today

These are really clever. This league's branding has been pretty great. I still have a hard time, though, taking a rooting interest in leagues that aren't structured around geographic locales. That's a "me" problem, I realize, but it leads to me forgetting this league exists.  

The teams are being placed in cities/markets next season, but they will still have a touring model

The jersey numbers bother me. They need mesh holes in them to fit the theme.
