The XFL should try to buy the San Antonio Commanders, assuming the AAF folds. That identity could use a tweak or two but has potential.

I said this in the news thread, not the logo thread.

They way things are going the XFL would be smart to snag San Antonio and maybe San Diego.  Replace Houston and LA or Seattle.

Clearwater and the Phillies/Threshers did in 2015

If the XFL can snag the Bandits name for Tampa Bay that would be the best name to make a splash.

I like the Vice look, but I don't like the cap logo since it's based off of their flawed alternate logo. That logo has the shrimp facing in the opposite direction, so then it no longer makes a J. I'm not a fan of the backwards J.

 

 

 

But this is just supposed to be an alternate logo.  Every shrimp isnt a J.

So many one off names are better than the real ones

No not really....theyre mostly awful.

It's Studio Simon...not to worry.

 

As I said on the mothership, I think they're doing this because they're feeling the pressure to...Teresa Earnhardt (Dale Sr.'s widow) has been NOTORIOUSLY protective of the family brand (She even sued her own stepson Kerry for using his own family name in a business venture once).

 

So the Intimidators were wondering how long they'd be allowed to keep the brand, and so wanted to change it now to avoid legal action later...

This makes sense, and I too have heard about Teresa being a real piece of work when she was the owner of DEI's racing team

Checkered Sox?

 

(Ehh.... perhaps not.)

No but Checker Sox....maybe? 

Maybe someone more local can help me out, but could it be possible that the Kannapolis name be changed to a different regional locale.  I know the team was the Piedmont Boll Weevils, so could Piedmot be an option again?  Is there another regional moniker that could be used?

Ugh those red pants at home....

These minor league clubs need to stop trying to match their parent clubs (whether in colors or uniforms). When they keep changing affiliates, they keep changing their identity.

I wouldn't call this change "trying to match the Grizzlies parent club".  if anything this is a new design, trying to separate itself from the former Giants esque scheme (a former affiliate) that had some dashes of Astros in there.

You all realize we have two threads for this???

 

 

Yeah someone suggested a 2019 thread, so I created one a few months ago.....

The current Winnipeg-based owners may have had one foot out the door since they bought the team a few years ago, but Kootenay's been a sinking ship for a while now. Attendance was already dropping and there has always been issues with the viability of Cranbrook.

 

I'm still not convinced about the viability of Winnipeg though.

Yeah, Winnipeg seems a bit saturated with the NHL and AHL in place.

Traverse City will be the Pit Spitters

Not a terrible identity either for such an oddball name.

What he couldn’t find a 35 jersey?

Probably a Shawn Kemp throwback

Rams had a yellow endzone for SB34 when they won it, also in Atlanta.

I kinda hope the trend stays....yellow endzone please!!!

Or "Baby Cakes" (I will really miss their identity, I actually love it and bought a couple hats which I hope will last a long time after the team is relocated.)

I wouldn't be surprised if the AA replacement team supposedly going there keeps that name.

Im just going to throw it out there, but i frequent another forum for the South Florida Bulls, www.thebullspen.com, and they appear at glance to be using the same forum software as us here.  i dont know if the ad agency's are the same, but I dont seem to see as many ad popups on there.

Also note, occasionally I see questionable Ashley Madison ads on my PC at work on their network.  i know those ads are likely based on browsing history(which on a corporate network of over 3000 folks, theres probably some bad eggs looking at skeevy stuff).  Are these type of ads something that can be removed from the distribution list.

I can remember when i first saw Mcnair in a Titans jersey on QB Challenge for the first year.  The yoke was such a noticable change to anything in the NFL at the time.  I actually got a Jevon kearse Titans jersey the next Christmas.

What is the policy with being able to start threads?

Do I have to hit a certain post count?

Copied fro the FAQ thread

12. I can't start a new topic, wtf?
As a method of reducing the amount of robo-spammers from popping up on the boards (as well as those who sign up just to make a request then vanish) we implemented a rule that prevented new members from starting a new topic; after you've made three (3) posts around the boards you are automatically allowed to start up a new topic.

Omaha wants nothing to do with their pre-D1 days. Rumor has it they've been looking to join a more metropolitan conference and this move could set off a chain reaction.

 

Denver and Seattle are rumored to be headed to the WCC potentially.

I presume Omaha’s targeting the Horizon League.  All schools there are at rom very near large metro  would also help with travel

Since there isn’t a 2020 thread yet, can anyone tell me which caps the trash pandas will be wearing? I collect MiLB hats (that get worn on field) and lids has 4. The panda website only lists the flying raccoon one as primary. The red, blue, and other black are just listed as 5950. I know a lot can change in a year and maybe they just haven’t designated this or that as home-alt or whatever. I’m sure all 4 will hit the field as teams have that many at least now.

 

TL:DR does anyone know which trash panda hats are gonna be used?

They'll probably use a combo of all of them.

This looks like the home cap:

But there are four others.

Probable names for the expansion Seattle team are Kraken, Metropolitans or Totems.

Those are just 3 of many options....

When wearing royal blue and gold, the Rams have a history of yellow endzones in the Super Bowl (XIV and XXXIV), but the one navy blue Super Bowl (XXXVI) it was navy blue.

Based on precedence, i'd say yellow is possible if they make it especially since the games in Atlanta where they won XXXIV.

So a vibe is a s'more?
