  1. It's laughable how pro sports teams that make millions of annual profit can get taxpayers to pay for their stadiums/arenas. As a taxpayer you pay their facility and then when you want to watch a game in the stadium your tax dollars paid for... you pay crazy parking and ticket prices and ridiculous food and beverage prices. A loan is one thing but to just give hundreds of millions of dollars for a stadium is a :censored:ing joke.
  2. I had leagues, but didn't go as far as naming players. I saved the stadiums for baseball . . . because drawing assymetrical bandboxes was more fun than drawing football stadiums. 'red, your 76ers would have had to battle my Jackson Magnolias for the Mississippi market. The Polar Bears would have been fighting the mighty Anchorage Anchors, who were a dynasty back in the 70s. I read up alot on sports history as a kid and for some reason had a fascination for rebel leagues such as the WHA, WFL, USFL...etc. So I would create modern versions of these leagues. I did not draw uniforms or anything but I would keep yearly standing sheets and I would simulate games with dice. Then as a teen I ended up creating some of these teams in pc games such as madden. I remember as a teen when the ''new WHA'' was announced. I was very excited. Too bad they never played a game. So yeah I was a weird kid too I guess. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one doing this. The Polar Bears won the 1980, and 1981 league championships, but in the modern day have found it hard to attract players to Alaska and have been toying with moving for years. My league's dominant team was the San Jose Pirates. They won three titles in the 70's, added two more in the 80's, and two more in the 90's. Their colors were plain black and white with the simplest uniforms you could think of. A few years ago I made a custom mini helmet for the Pirates. It's been a solid decade since I visited my fake football league. Maybe I should update it. Really like your logo and helmet! Very simple but beautiful in my eyes. It reminds me fo the miami Sharks from Any Given Sunday...very simple yet perfect for football. Don't need to have complex uniforms for the mto be nice.

  4. That's actually pretty cool. I like the name Polar Bears. Or you could call them the Alaska Kodiaks. Won't ever happen but would've been cool.
  5. In an extremely unrealistic dream it would be cool to see a team in Anchorage, Alaska. Real ''cold weahter football'' would be played there! Could become a ''Green Bay of the North'' market but who the hell would pay for a stadium up there?
  6. Caa a mod please modify my username? I wanted ''garydavidson'' but ommited the d by mistake. Thanks
  7. I agree, but I think the better option for the Lightning (besides dropping the silly “Bolts" nickname) would be to bring back their old uniforms. I know, people think they're “outdated" by today's standards, but that was the charm of them. It was a unique set that set them apart from their competitors, and it gave them their own identity. Now they seem to try too hard look like an Original Six team (the Minnesota Wild's alternates are another example of this). I've said it before but I'll say it again, a 90s expansion team should look like a 90s expaninsion team, and a historical team should look classic. There is no vise-versa for this. The whole trend of less is more on hockey uniforms need to stop. I don't want the uniforms to be so crazy and awful that they look like something Nike or Addidas made, but I'd like for uniforms to get more creative, instead of just filling a template with a borring design. At least I'll get my creativity fix when the Coyotes bring back their inaugural uniforms for a few games, which believe me, is the only reason to get interested in a Phoenix Coyotes game. Alright, I'm done with my semi-rant. I agree. As hidious as they were I like those uniforms and when I think of the coyotes those uniforms come to mind. They should've stuck with them.
  8. I'm not a bruins fan but I actually loved the Bruins yellow jersey with the bear on it.
  9. Just bring back the IHL with the Detroit Vipers and company. Get rid of the instigator rule, and allow bench emptying brawls. You could pay players in the 6 digits. That would give an alternative to all the Canadian and American players playing in Europe. If teams can get 10 000 fans per game with cheap/decent ticket prices you could have a 4-5 mil salary cap. And you could put teams in cool places like Saskatoon and Halifax.
