Next up and the last team for the California Division for now.

UC MERCED GOLDEN BOBCATS

When you hear Bobcats, you expect some sort of cat theming right? This was a chance to essentially do a modern take on the team with Merced's rebranding.... as you can see, this is a modern take on a football team and with the team joining Division 2 from the NAIA... we really need more Californian schools.

Time for a defunt football program to enter... and in this far west, there is only one team apart from the Californias to have said team.

PORTLAND PILOTS

The Pilots are known for their Purple so I decided to use both purples, black and white for this set... it be basic but Nike is always determined to sponsor the Portland/Seattle rivalry.

Also why would Lamar would willingly go join a franchise that's past it's championship prestige?

To the Southwest division we find ourselves with....

EASTERN NEW MEXICO GREYHOUNDS

ENMU has a grey homeshirt and a white roadshirt but it is also used to their signature dark green... I added a 2nd green to add contrast and their sleeves are dark green.... for a team called the Greyhounds, they aren't visually impressive irl.

Lamar would of been the perfect fit for Atlanta.... Michael Vick 2.0 but that bs about them not being interested is dumb

Is Colorado going to the Big 12 or the Big 10?

Next up in the California Division...

SONOMA STATE SEAWOLVES

The Seawolves of Sonoma State are famous for having a NFL Hall of Famer that came from their football program at the time... so in the style of the team he went to represent, I would emulate said style in this set.

Division 2 is not a bad place to be but again there's a metric ton of defunt schools in the region mostly because of funding being cut off from political cheapasses.

The Dodgers have a Koala for a mascot?

Moving back to the Pacific Division to show off the other Alaska team.

ALASKA FAIRBANK NANOOKS

And their uniforms are gray, lol.

Correct their uniforms are grey

ah my bad.

Next up in the California Division.... a grey team from Division 3.

REDLANDS BULLDOGS

In the NFL there's a BFBS problem and yes in the NCAA there's a GFGS problem too but here in Redlands territory, it's their base color along a maroon that i felt that wasn't dark enough so I made those changes.... not much different from IRL but the grey is needed in contrast to the more colorful teams in the division.

We may of had crap uniforms but surviving three big nations and relegating Colombia is what I call an achievement.

And the AFC North set is complete....

Wordmark to come in later, I just wanted to post that gorgeous rust.

EDIT: Wordmark is now in

Staying in the Rockies I'm going to go into the NAIA for a team that has a unique color scheme...

NORTH NEW MEXICO COLLEGE EAGLES

NNMC has their unique color of rust which is this gorgeous shade you see on the left... it is gorgeous and it's unique enough here so I made yokes for their uniform and let the rust and navy carry through.

Yokes because ya know Eagles...

Speaking of Zorros... they would get lonely as a solo mexican team in the Southwest Division so I figured let's invite their close rivals.... from the same city

UABC CIMMARONES

The untamed wildmen of the Autonomous University of  Baja California that resides in Tijuana is known for their likeness to goats and mountainous regions of the northwest part of mexico and frankly this is the last of the mexican teams in the Arena Football league

Finally the Colts have landed a good QB.... after the previous two trainwrecks.

The pictures weren't showing up.... now they have shown up.

Might want to look into that again.

Rain Belt? Now that's silly.... it be the opposite of the Fun Belt.

Oh hey that thing I predicted came true.

Last Four were the:

Azusa Pacific Cougars (Division 2)
Arizona Christian Firestorm (NAIA)
Alaska A Seawolves (Division 2)
CETYS Tijuana Zorros (ONEFA)

It would be Monarchs, Galaxy, Dragons and Admirals.... the legacy European teams.

The decision to move them all over England was a bad one. I remember them going with shortened end zones for a few years, and then a shortened field with full end zones. 

 

That and they became England Monarchs with those god-ugly uniforms.... christ that was BAD.
