eriqjaffe Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Don't remember seeing this mentioned yet...No team logos up yet, but the league logo is, well, uninspired.Oh, and all fourteen proposed teams have singular names. I think my favorite (in an irony-soaked way) is the Ottawa Omega. I think I already know their logo.http://www.naifl.ca/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjr81 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 If the singular names weren't bad enough, they are also all alliterative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I want to join the Apostle's of the Apostrophewhen I finish working on all the ad's on my deskand throw me newspaper's in the trashwe must spread the wordapostrophe's are an endangered species!they must be spared!practice punctuation conservation!maybe the league had a surplus of apostrophes, and since none of the team names are plural, they had to use them somewhere before they went badsoon I will work on my capitalization skills, but first, the elevated comma!

xyzzyva Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Seriously, the Montreal Machete? Do these people realize what i would give to run even this fifth-rate league? And I'm sure that even I with my vast experience and high school education could run this league into the ground while maintaining at least a little bit of honor. But the Montreal Machete? There is no hope for some souls. There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 i'm planning a league, and i figure when i'll be able to start it i will. that time isn't in the near future but i'm damn sure i could come up with a MUCH better name than Montreal Machete...it's so bad it's laughably hilarious what's next, Calgary Crapshoot? Edmonton Evil? Toronto Tuesday? A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampman Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 on your marks! Let's start... the FREDRICTON FEUD!!!! Maybe they'll hire Richard Dawson as their head coach. Team mmeetings will be fun... Someone posted this on another board (a CFL one actually) and I made a similar comment--the team names all bite the big one (which was one of the responses when the Coneheads went on the Feud on an old SNL) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

gojetsgo Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 This league HAS to be a farce! It's obvious they don't have a single owner. I don't know about any other Winnipeggers, but I haven't seen a single article about this league in the papers. And trust me, my city is gung-ho if it finds out that maybe there is an infinitesimal chance that some league, somewhere, might want to put a franchise here. Another thing: Winnipeg WAR???!!! That's a terrible name! Especially with the anti-war sentiment that's beenaround, oh, for the past 40 years! Why don't they call them the Winnipeg Weapons of Mass Destruction? I am almost certain that all 14 team names (and locations) were thought up in a total of half an hour. I would bet large money that this league never sees the light of day.But one team rep found out about my excellent skills in Madden 2002 and offered me an offensive coordinator position. I turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
