B-Rich Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 1 hour ago, AstroBull21 said: So I screenshotted the images and these were what I saw in order: - a wave - a reptilian eye - gargoyle statue - someone working at a refinery - a city street at night - grassy field - the fan of a plane engine - a fighter pilot flying - a cavalier statue - US Marines - fallen leaves in a forest - a tattoo - a pack or bikers Some of this surely combines ideas into a name, but Washington might be the Marines. Cavalry might be another name, as is something oil industry related (Roughnecks, Wildcatters, etc). Gargoyles is likely there too. Any other suggestions? Good rundown, but you missed a few. A key part of this is there are two quick shots (for each team, I presume), each separated by the stadium entry: Team One - (crashing) wave (from under the water) + reptilian eye -- educated guess is (Seattle) Sea Dragons. Team Two - gargoyle face + gargoyle head - New York Gargoyles Team Three - refinery worker (with flare) + grinding tool emitting sparks - educated guess of Houston Wildcatters/ Wildcats/Roughnecks/Roustabouts; something in that vein. Team Four - a city street at night (from the air) + grassy field at night, with a sort of roar or animal sound at the end - Night Beasts? City Beasts? Team Five - the fan of a plane engine + a fighter pilot flying - Fighters? Pilots? ....Thunderbirds? That last name would go with the red and white "lightning" logo... Team Six - a cavalier statue (actually, civil war soldier statue with US capitol in background) + US Marine - obviously Washington; maybe Sentries, Soldiers? Or as was pointed out as "confirmed" name, Warriors? Team Seven - bayou swamp scene + fallen leaves in the forest (from a low ground view) - Likely Tampa Bay, maybe either Vipers or Gators Team Eight - (Winged) tattoo + a pack of bikers - Hell's Angels? Outlaws? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this could happen if someone like Under Armour, Starter or Champion made the uniforms. If it's adidas or Nike I think they'll have a brick pattern on the yokes or numbers and the helmet and that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well based on the images I’m thinking this is leaning more gothic and less Art Deco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBull9584 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 My guesses based on the images in the video and the teases: = + Los Angeles Something to do with bikers: Angels? = + Tampa Something to do with the swamp: Vipers/Crocs/Leatherheads = + Seattle Dragons = + Dallas Something about oil or blue color factory work: Wildcatters, Roughnecks, Drillers = + New York Gargoyles or Sentries = + Houston Something to do with the Air Force/NASA? = + Washington Military theme: Generals/Soldiers/Marines/Calvary = + St. Louis You got me! No idea what this could be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Something tells me thats a face and that it will be the face of the DC mascot. I still think that St. Louis will be black and grey, but I'm no longer 100% on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, after seeing the teaser video and doing a little interwebs research (I'm not a big wrestling fan) I think this is actually happening. All of the following were wrestler names: -- Viper -- Gargoyle -- (Chief) Thunderbird -- (Ultimate) or (Road) Warriors -- (Super) (Ultimo) Dragon -- Wildcat -- (California's) Hell's Angels -- The Wolfman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refinery one definitely will be with Houston likers the Oilers. The flying one has nothing to do with NASA; if so it would be more spaced themed.

And some of the city associations are off to me My thought behind that was that before NASA took over space exploration, it was part of the US Air Force. So, to me at least, there is some connection there, especially if it is in Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two could be a nod to three of their cities. Seattle for Boeing Los Angeles for Lockheed, Douglas, Northrup, and Hughes. Not to mention the JPL St. Louis for McDonnell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
