And before anyone asks.... I am focusing on the hard task of designing the first uniform of the Bulls... they are the last of the USFL teams and doing the 84-85 uniform is a tough task especially if I have to go ahead and recreate it from scratch.
-
Speaking of which and thanks for those that are patient with this series wrapping up... even if there are doubters and there are few, I still have teams to drop and this one pretty much has stayed consistant in this universe and in real life.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFSThe Chiefs have a universal look that is essentially a staple in the AFC West especially they take on the Broncos, the Chargers, the Raiders and the Jaguars.... they have 3 Super Bowls in real life so the struggles of Andy Reid eating good bbqs and certain bad NFL referees having vegas betting pools with Mahomes winning is still real just in the now.

The Usos? Please it be the Usos.

Just curious why each team has a nearly identical number font?
I believe I've established it by now but I'm mostly lazy in number fonts.- 1

Well :censored: and hopefully fixed.

Next team up and I think these guys are special enough... especially since they have been around for at least 200 years.
NYU VIOLETSThe self proclaimed Kings of New York enter Arena Football with a degree of regalness.... especially since their violet is literally one of the more unique IDs in college football but the Division 3 side pushes their weight against much better opponents and close rivals.

I didn’t know the Vikings were furries.
Then again are most scandinavians furries? That's the question. -
Minnesota after years and years of sucking essentially willed a mascot from the gods themselves....

Next up is a team that used to have a football team... amongst MANY in this thread but in the Apple division there is one that technically stood out.
ST JOHNS RED STORMThe Red Storm here meshes classic and modern as I went with their last known template but I put the mascot on the sleeves... except I ditched the black for the navy.
St Johns fights for the pride of New York itself as the Queens outfit against all foes.- 1

Not feeling it with the gold mask personally.

This next team was a last minute replacement... i'll explain in a bit.
PACE SETTERS
So the Pace Setters are a last minute replacement team because the original team that was going to go here.... lived in Pennsylvania as in way out of the state and too far from the group they were going to be put in.... so that was a goof on my end.
Plus it gave me an excuse to go old school rams.

Time for the countdown to wrapping up the Apple Division...
and it's a unique team name so let's give it a look that I will eventually give the Colts someday.
SAINT PETERS PEACOCKSSome would argue that the Peacocks deserves a more colorful look but since their rebuild, I imagine them in the one blue and immediately I went to the Colts look and to give them the unique stripes... the current look of Indy Colts combined with the pants would actually improve the team and it would be something I could do in a 4.0 but some might be sick at this point so I'll leave it on the backburner.

Ouisconsin got its beginnings in 1882 with the creation of a railroad line from Monico to Rhinelander by the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad. This rail line was meant to spur the development of the city as much of the land the line was built on was sold by one the founding families for this very purpose. The first school building of what would become Ouisconsin University was built on the Pelican River near the convergence with the Wisconsin River. First called the Pelican School, the institution taught students 12 to 21. Most of the curriculum was about trades in the local area along with some science, engineering, math, and history. As the town grew around it, so too did the Pelican School. In 1889, a high school was started and students up to 18 began attending there. By then, the school was named The Pelican Institute and began offering degrees in teaching, medicine, and science. In 1924, the family who owned the school sold it to the state who renamed it to the Wisconsin Pelican Education Center and operated mostly as a community college, something that led to the name change to Pelican Community College in 1928. In 1934, the college was getting ready to be shut down by the state due to financial issues, but was instead bought by local families in order to save the city's only form of higher education. In 1950, the enrollment picked up and the campus needed some expansion, which happened southwards towards Lake Julia. By 1960, the Pelican Community College changed to just Pelican College and by 1965, Pelican University. In the 70s, many of the people who had purchased the school from the state began to die off or had begun divvying up their assets to relatives and the people inheriting the university had no desire to continue running the school. Seeing as the school was highly profitable and had a modest enrollment of around 15,000 students, the state once again purchased the school in 1977. This state ownership led to the name representing the state and it became Ouisconsin University, the French name for Wisconsin.
Sports were first started in the 20s before being quickly shut down in the 30s under the first round of state operation. They then returned with football in 1945, followed by basketball and hockey in 1947, then baseball in 1948. The first teams wore gold uniforms, sometimes entirely gold with white accents or a dark color accented in gold. Due to the gold color and the state’s infatuation with all things lactose, the teams operated under the unofficial nickname of the Golden Curds. This name, however, was never adopted by the academic side and no such mascot ever was until the state's second takeover and the subsequent name change. To honor the school’s past, the school would go by the Ouisconsin Pelicans wearing their traditional Gold and White scheme.
The play on the field was actually pretty good in their original decade of play while a community college. However, their return was a rather slow process. They joined the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference in 1947 and stayed there until they became a public institution again in ‘77. While in the MCAC, they had middling success and only won conference championships five times, four in football during a six year stretch of 1967-72 and 1959 in baseball. Otherwise, the teams averaged from mediocre to downright awful. In 1977, they joined the then dubbed Wisconsin State University Conference (now called the WIAC) that held most of the other state schools. There, they began seeing some success as they now were a public school and had some success in all sports. Conference championships were claimed in all sports but football, who had to contend with Wisconsin-Whitewater every year and failed to beat them ever in their time in the WIAC. When the opportunity to jump the AUIA was presented, the football side of the department was ready, but the other sports were not so sure. Thus, they did not compete in the first season of play and instead began in 2013. Off the bat, football experienced great success winning their division and establishing an in-state rivalry with Manitowoc alongside other schools in neighboring states. Other sports also stayed strong, particularly baseball where they are in contention for both conference and national titles seemingly every year.
I like this, the scheme to me works. -
And to wrap up the entireity of the New England Division, the North Sub-Division and the 24th team here.... the final team for now is of course:
MERRIMACK WARRIORSThe Warriors of Merrimack take the Michigan approach and I happen to like said approach because the yokes do envoke something which is pride... especially since in their sub division, there is a lot of strong teams.
And speaking of which here's the list for the North Sub Division
- Assumption
- Bentley
- Boston University
- Fitchburg State
- Maine
- Merrimack
- New Hampshire
- Northeastern
- Saint Anslem
- UMass Lowell
- UMass
- Vermont
