The merger would of happened from 1986/1987 onwards so... NFC Dallas Cowboys Philadelphia Eagles Washington R------s New York Giants St Louis Cardinals Green Bay Packers Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Minnesota Vikings Tampa Bay Bucs ((Merged with USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits)) San Francisco 49ers Los Angeles Rams New Orleans Saints Atlanta Falcons AFC Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins New England Patriots New York Jets Indianapolis Colts Pittsburgh Steelers Cleveland Browns Cincinnati Bengals Houston Oilers Kansas City Chiefs Denver Broncos Los Angeles Raiders Seattle Seahawks San Diego Chargers USFL Baltimore Stars Jacksonville Bulls Oakland Invaders/Carolina Panthers New Jersey Generals Nashville Renegades/Tennessee Titans Las Vegas Gamblers Portland Breakers Birmingham Stallions Memphis Showboats San Antonio Gunsligers Arizona Outlaws Colorado Gold

So here's my what if scenario..... what happens to the 1995 NFL expansion? The Panthers technically exist granted as a relocation team.... but do the Jags exist?

This concludes the Gamblers and thanking @XrysD for giving me permission to use his logo. Next up will be around the NFL at this time with looks that are essentially timeless and essentially what you expect.

Alright time for the last update for the Gamblers... so with new Allegant Stadium, air conditioning and the ability to no longer overheat their helmets.... the new owner decides a uniform change is needed and so in 2021... Black is back. Black is back as the Home and Road, with a few changes here and there... it becomes a new age classic with the Silver becoming what the Raiders should be using at the moment whilst the Alt essentially makes the classic Falcons R/R/VS a special thing...

I applud you for the Cthulthu reference.

Funny you should say that.... because 5 years later they released this lot. Trying to appease a divisive fanbase consisting of old and new fans doesn't normally work and yet the fanbase agreed on one thing... these uniforms didn't look good, the dropping of black as a major factor in fan anger and performances on the field which consistuted to a 3 year slump ((Think Arizona Cardinals)) eventually forced the ownership to basically cut his losses and leave Vegas. However this would prove to be a bonus for a wealthy billionare buys the club and would fund the all new Allegant Stadium... because eventually air conditioning would be a massive bonus.

Before we progress, I assume most of everyone is enjoying the Gamblers look?

Yes, all of the yes and all for the good and bad reasons.

Lightfoot is going to be the reason why downtown Chicago will be in a :censored:ty state for years to come whilst the Bears get to experience the highs of Arlington.... heck even the NFL wants the Bears in Arlington Heights

Well done Notre Dame, that looks good

However things would go wrong in 2011 when ownership decided some changes that would become unpopular with the fanbase... a new grey that was designated as Gunsmoke, changing the red and the gold in the logo to Vegas based red and gold and finally dropping the sleeves that the team was well known for, to add in logos and red colored sleeves.... this would lead into the worse period of football for the team.

Julio takes a 1 year deal with the Bucs.

Pretty sure @XrysD would agree with you considering it was his logo and I asked for permission to use.

1991 becomes an important year for the Gamblers... new ownership comes in, buys the team and has the smarts to realise that black helmets were to be a waste of time ((Well that and two players had heatstroke during the previous year)) and thus impliments the look and the style that would be Vegas's for the next 20 years.

I will don't worry... they'll eventually turn into what the Raiders are currently... except the Gamblers have a better look than Oakland.

One year later and because Black Helmets are a bad idea in the desert, the team will eventually begin research into finding a black that is heat resistant allowing the team to play well in Nevada heat... of course it'll take time to find such a black.

Oh don't worry, the hot weather will force the team to change to lighter helmets... i mean after all Nevada heat is a :censored:.

Time for the Gamblers to get their turn in the spotlight.... the formerly Houston Gamblers spent two seasons with a good winning record before folding but like other teams, they too venture into undiscovered territories as they go westward towards a state that is eternally hot and a bad idea for a black helmet team. LAS VEGAS GAMBLERS Sam Boyd Stadium would be the host for the Gamblers... a stadium that is far from the bright lights of Sin City as in the late 80's... not many stadiums exist in Nevada.

Hmmmm

Judging from the backgrounds, we can confirm the Renegades, Roughnecks, Defenders, Vipers and Battlehawks

Yeah and it would of been better with a different color....

Welp that's it, we can all die now, we have reached the lowest point of existance and we can blame the Bears for it.

We are going to skip the 2012 Navy and Dayglo Greens because we all know what they look like... and it's very outdated now, thankfully this thread is all about looking good so let's see what I can do... If I was going to do a Navy centric uniform like the Seahawks then in my brain, I would need to go back to the original blue but I figured I would darken it so it doesn't look like the Navys.... now the Action Green I'm afraid is deeply embedded into Seahawk culture thanks to the at Nike.... arguing that Wolf Grey is actually the Silver that they have been using since 1976, that would eventually become at some point the focus of the franchise. The NFC West that they play in alongside the 49ers and the Rams is innovative but also facing off against the Gamblers and the Breakers is a way to keep rivalries fresh. The Seahawks are concluded and I will be getting ready to do the relocated Houston Gamblers to Las Vegas... with myself having to ask special permission from @XrysD to which he gave so I am excited to see what a few decades in Sin City does to a Texas team.
