It's back and better than ever! Back in August, I attempted an Arena Football League Concept series. Unfortunately, I didn't even make it half-way in that thread. Well, consider this the resurrection of that thread. The main thing to remember in this thread is that it's a "what if?" thread. The "What if ?" part is wondering what would have happened if the AFL never went bankrupt following the 2008 season and teams from both the AFL and AF2 never folded, including some teams that never saw the 2000's. Long story short, here is the lineup for the new Arena Football League: Without further ado, one of the current teams in the league, defending Arena Bowl Champions, the Arizona Rattlers: My snake helmet returns as well as new striping on the pants and helmet. C+C appreciated!

Here is my version of the Arena Football League: In my version, the league did not fold after the 2009 season. Instead, multiple AF2 teams moved up to join the and created a 32 team league that has since competed with the NFL popularity-wise and the NBA attendance-wise. Also, some teams from the league's past have continued to play. Teams such as the Detroit Drive, Milwaukee Mustangs (The original Mustangs), Albany Firebirds (also the original team), and several others, have continued to play. Here is the setup: American North Kansas City Command Columbus Destroyers Chicago Bruisers Detroit Drive-Completed American South Jacksonville Sharks-Completed Tampa Bay Storm-Completed Orlando Predators-Completed New Orleans Voodoo-Completed American East Philadelphia Soul-Completed Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers Cleveland Gladiators-Completed Pittsburgh Power-Completed American West Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz Colorado Crush Los Angeles Avengers Utah Blaze-Completed National North Chicago Rush-Completed Iowa Barnstormers-Completed Milwaukee Mustangs Grand Rapids Rampage National South Louisiana Battle Wings Nashville Kats Dallas Desperados Austin Wranglers National East New York Dragons Albany Firebirds Georgia Force Albany Conquest National West Arizona Rattlers-Completed San Antonio Talons-Completed Spokane Shock-Completed San Jose SaberCats-Completed Possible expansion locations: Miami Brooklyn Minnesota New Jersey Las Vegas San Antonio San Francisco Oakland Charlotte Memphis Knoxville Birmingham/Tuscaloosa Indiana St. Louis Houston Seattle The teams listed are ones that saw the field more often than others and not particularly based off of success. If you think I should replace a team with one more successful, then do so. Here is the first draft of the Arizona Rattlers.
