    I think the Riders logo could make for a good Wranglers secondary with some tweaks to it. Same with the Berlin Thunder logo for the Maulers and the Claymores logo for the Knights. The Posse logo could work for both Arizona or Texas.

    Not ready to reveal the team names yet, but I can confirm that Seattle will be the 24th USFL franchise, beating out Dallas for the franchise and adding a rival for the Portland Thunder.  The designs for all 4 finalist names, all based on either WLAF, NFLE, or CFL-USA logos will be released soon, but I can offer you the color schemes proposed for the 4 Seattle options right now:  

     

    Seattle Sea Devils: Navy, Teal, Red

    Seattle Pirates:  Purple, Orange, Gold

    Seattle Dragons: Green, Yellow, Red

    Seattle Admirals: Navy, Teal, Salmon

    All of them sound good, but I think I like Admirals the best. Navy, Teal and Salmon is not a color you see every day. Sea Devils would also be great as well. 

  3. Seattle Red Dogs (New Jersey AFL) (Combines both of the states college teams. UW is the Huskies, or Dawgs and WSU's primary color is red) or Barracudas (CFL-USA Birmingham)

    Dallas Riders (San Antonio WLAF) or Dallas Posse (CFL-USA Las Vegas)

    I think some of you are going to be disappointed by how unimaginative I am being with expansion in this case.   Here are some t-shirts which were shipping out to K-Marts in July of 1993 just before the official expansion announcement was made.  As I said at the onset, where there is a precedent (a real team in that location) I will often try to use that as it ties things together a bit more than just creating entire identities out of thin air.

    Yeah, had a feeling that was coming for Columbus. Wonder what the other expansion team will be.

    There will be a later adjustment in the 2000's, so you may get your wish.

     

    And, after much consideration I decided I did not really care for the Titans-Bombers mashup for the NFL 95 expansion franchise.  So, something totally different.

     

    When the Oilers first moved to Memphis there was a grass roots movement to rename the team the Tennessee Copperheads.  They had helmet mockups, even jerseys.  They went to Oilers games in  Memphis to get signatures, and had a real movement going . But either Bud Adams or NFL Properties insisted that a snake-themed franchise would not have broad appeal. 

     

    Let's say that is not the case, and with a groundswell of popular support, the NFL and its new Tennessee owner do opt for the Copperheads.  So, what I have created here is a mashup of a few different designs.

    • Jacksonville Jaguars (Black helmet with the animal head formed from color blocks on the black background)
    • Baltimore Bombers jersey style, which is similar to the first Titans uniform with the tapered shoulder yokes.
    • Original Copperheads colors, which were mostly green and copper orange, with a bit of red. 
    • Texas Copperheads logo from Arena Football 2
    • Included the shape of Tennessee as part of the wordmark.

    And, so there you have it, a totally new 1995 Expansion team that borrows from the Titans, Bombers, Jaguars, and arena football.  I think this is much better and feels like it could be very 1990's, at least in colors. 

     

    And, yes, I am aware that having a team called Copperheads and not having a copper helmet seems weird, but the kind of weird the NFL would absolutely do.  Maybe in the mid 2000's they will do the 2-color helmet thing like the Jags did and fans will hate it just as much.

    As a Titans fan, this looks great lol! (Actually would have been a Houston Oilers fan had they never moved, since that was my parents team)

    Well, folks, here we go.  In the Alt History league a Nike proposal to recolor the New Orleans Breakers is going to leak to the press.  Here is the update proposed for 1994, what do you believe the reaction should be among Breaker fans:

     

    • Enthusiastic Support.  Take my money!!!
    • Meh, It's OK, I might buy a jersey.
    • We'd rather not.  The old colors were better.
    • What are you thinking?  That's not a good look at all. 
    • Immediate outrage leading to cancellation of the plan.

    Enthusiastic Support.  Take my money for sure!!! I'm in love with that teal look!

  7. Well since i'm new here, i might as well start here. 

     

    NFL: Tennessee Titans: Both my parents were Houston Oiler fans and they kept their fandom even after they moved to Tennessee and passed it down to me when I got into football. Also like the Cardinals due to me attending college in Arizona

     

    MLB: Houston Astros: Same for the Oilers/Titans. My parents just grew up on them and passed it down to me. It's harder to root for them now that the cheating got exposed, so I sorta picked up the D-Backs as my secondary team now that I go to college in AZ. 

     

    NBA: Dallas Mavericks: Didn't really get into the NBA until around 2011 when me and my family moved to Dallas, just in time for the Mavs run to the championship. The feeling in DFW was absolutely electric and it was easy to root for them. I had never experienced a city on fire like that before. Been hooked ever since #MFFL

     

    NHL: Dallas Stars/Arizona Coyotes: Stars because their my home state's only NHL team and I used to go to their games when I was a teenager, Coyotes because see NFL and MLB. 

     

    NCAA: Northern Arizona: Where I currently go to school. 

     

    MLS: Houston Dynamo: Not a big soccer guy whatsoever, but I remember them winning the MLS cup when I was younger. I still like them I guess.
