FOX and Fox Sports 1/2 holds the "Atlantic Package" and ABC and ESPN/ESPN2 holds the "Pacific Package", which like in the NFL, FOX has the rights to the Eastern and Trans-Atlantic Conference games and ABC has the Western and Trans-Pacific Conference games, and the away team determines the broadcaster in an interconference game.
There were 3 teams in Canada: Atlantic Highlanders, Toronto Titans, and Vancouver Sockeyes, but were unable to survive against CFL squads in their markets due to futility and the respective CFL teams having dynasties in the 2030s, so they moved to Boston (Pilgrims), Buffalo (Thunder) and Seattle (Kraken) respectively.
*The official name is indeed New Amsterdam American Football Club, the Knickerbockers are just a common nickname for them (i.e. Bronx Bombers for the New York Yankees). Same for the Kingston American Football Club and their nickname Reggae Boys
**Based in Raleigh.
***Based in San Antonio.
****Originally supposed to be the Eagle Warriors, but shortened to Eagles. The mascot is an Aztec Eagle Warrior.
*****The name Fire Dragons came from their owner being addicted to Pokemon and somehow creating a Pokemon which looked like a fusion of Charizard, Moltres, Ho-Oh, and made it the team's mascot.
******Short for the full team name, Portland Oregon Trailers, named after the video game and the Oregon Trail itself.
*******Jörmungandr is a sea serpent in Norse mythology. Also they are based in Minneapolis.
********A Wolpertinger is an animal in Bavarian folklore. Also they are based in Milwaukee.
*********Spoiler Alert, the NHL team in Seattle will not be named the Kraken in the NTY26 series, but it will involve another sea monster!
**********The team uses the creole word for Haitian "Ayisyen" and the name "Revolution" is for the Haitian Revolution where the French were driven out of Haiti.
***********Habana is the name in Spanish for Havana, Cuba.
************Legendary bird in Chinese mythology, also Canton is an old English name for Guangzhou
Up next: The NFL!

Another reason the Yankees pinstripes work is their SOLID DARK NAVY LOGO. Never a problem reading that one .... meanwhile the Rockies' ridiculous outlined letters are one of the worst uniform design flaws I can think of. They couldn't even fill in the letters with a deep gray or silver, sad.
But PURPLE. Are there any pro or college teams that actually wear true purple? Equal red and blue mix? I don't think so ... every "purple" is 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 mix blue over red. The Ravens, Vikings, Lakers, Suns, Raptors, LA Kings, Kansas State, Washington, Northwestern, Texas Christian, even East Carolina - NONE are even very close to true 50-50 blue-red PURPLE. Even BROWN has the Padres, Browns and Wyoming Cowboys.
The Rockies actually made their purple look more purple recently

Meh.. Could have brought back the old Cavalier

Changes
- Expansion Teams: Baltimore Lords, Hartford Harpoons*, New Jersey Swamp Dragons (Newark, NJ), Buffalo Braves, Cincinnati Reign, Pittsburgh Condors, Louisville Colonels, St. Louis Bombers, Tidewater Fleet (Norfolk, VA), Alaska Auroras (Anchorage, AK)**, Seattle Supersonics***, Vancouver Sea Lions, Kansas City Wranglers, Las Vegas Diablos, Tulsa Mustangs, Los Angeles Surf****, Albuquerque Jaguars, Austin Rattlesnakes, Tucson Lions.
- Relocated Teams: Clippers (Los Angeles to San Diego, CA).
- Team Color Changes: Brooklyn Nets (add Brooklyn Dodgers Blue and make uni numbers New Jersey Nets red along with their current white and black color scheme), New York Knicks (back to the mid-90s color scheme to "hearken to successful years"), Miami Heat (vice colors full time), Utah Jazz (90s purple, late 2000s light blue), Dallas Mavericks (pre-2002 color scheme full time, but with the 2002-present royal blue), San Antonio Spurs (fiesta colors return and are primary colors along with black and silver).
- ABC, FOX and NBC hold rights to the network broadcasts and NBA Finals broadcasts are rotated so ABC in 2020, FOX in 2021, NBC in 2022 and so on, ESPN, Fox Sports 1&2, TNT, TBS and CBS Sports Network hold cable rights, ESPN+, Facebook, Peacock (NBC) and CBS All Access have the streaming rights.
- Atlantic & Southwest: 24 intra-divisional games (6 division opponents x 4 games each) + 54 intra-conference games + 6 inter-conference games = 84 Games
- Other Divisions: 20 intra-divisional games (5 division opponents x 4 games each) + 58 intra-conference games + 6 inter-conference games = 84 Games
- 20 NBA Playoff teams, 10 in each conference, bottom 4 seeds (7 v 10, 8 v 9) play each other in a one game wild card round, and the lowest seed advances to play #1 and the highest seed to advance plays #2 a la NFL, after that, same format as real life NBA. 8 teams from each conference but with a twist, the same reseeding happens so the lowest seed always plays the highest seed.
- *Hartford Harpoons are announced as an NBA expansion team the same day the Hartford Whalers are announced to make their long awaited return to the ice for the first time in almost 3 decades.
- **The Alaska Auroras become the first professional team from Alaska.
- ***The Seattle SuperSonics also get back the name, logos, and records from the Oklahoma City Thunder, which makes the Pacific Northwest go wild.
- ****After the Clippers move back to San Diego after their Inglewood plans fail, to prevent being the only major five leagues to not have two teams in the Los Angeles media market, quickly announce the Los Angeles Surf as an expansion team, owned by a Dean Spanos relative, so Chargers and Surf do many cross promotions as well as the Surf having similar colors except orange has been added. Unlike the Clippers, the Surf's Inglewood arena gets built.

The Islanders should've stuck with this look.
The fisherman logo was bad, but putting the regular logos on those jerseys was absolutely gorgeous.
If they did this in 1994-95 instead of creating the fisherman logo, I think navy-orange-teal era would have lasted longer

I love all parts of the Colts rebrand, the logos, the unis, the wordmark. Everything. I don't even mind the Nike logo being black in the unis.

They did it with the Angels so why not?

Does anyone have a story about this? It’s a Rangers-Islanders game from 2006. I don’t ever seem to recall MSG ever using the FSN scorebug.
2006... So this was 2 years before FSN New York rebranded as MSG+. Could be MSG using the Fox Sports New York production crew and slapping MSG where the FSN logo would have been

The Pointless Realignment Outpost
in Sports In General
Posted · Edited by TrueYankee26
New TrueYankee26 Series: NFL
The NFL keeps profiting but their reputation keeps taking a hit due to poor refereeing, inconsistent disciplining, the continued problems with concussions in the sport of gridiron football and a major lockout cancels the 2040 season a la 2004-05 NHL. Even worse, Generation Z who has grown up, continues what their predecessors the Millennials have started: making soccer popular in all of North America north of Mexico, while the mostly urban, diverse and global fanbase of the NBA grows and TV ratings for the NBA grow but not to the levels of the 1990s, but you add streaming, it shatters even the best era of TV ratings. MLB gets their act together and all of the old school unwritten rules are over and obsolete. The NHL is popular as ever in Canada and the Northern tier of the US, but the CFL enters a golden age in the 2020s and 2030s, losing fans in Canada to Canadian Football. NFL looks destined to not be cool anymore.. but a new commish undo's the Goodell era and repairs the cracks on the NFL shield.
