But where would this player get this specific name from? If indeed they will be named the Swarm, I can see it being a slip of the tongue to the player. But if that's not the case, why make up a name like that? I'm curious to know where this name comes from if indeed it will not be the name of the Salt Lake team.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 As we all know, Utah is the beehive state so he just went with what was natural. It was either Swarm or Buzz. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even another shell company which is AAF/Ebersol related, Football Historians, LLC, has no team names registered. They just have the various league names, the logo, and the word "Fanchise" as it relates to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Given the name of the league, it's very reasonable to think that "Alliance [City Name]" is generic placeholder branding.

NYC Cosmos Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Nice work! but we do need an M line extension to 74th/Roosevelt. There is an unused tunnel at the end of the 74th st station that was supposed to be part of the city's second stage plan. If you want to build a stadium at Aqueduct, then the old LIRR rockaway branch has to be reactivated and turned into a subway. Where in Queens to start it though? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1621462554538638&set=g.802800243200710&type=1&theater&ifg=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Some event is occurring in Birmingham tomorrow.

WideRight Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Really hoping today's Birmingham announcement is Identity (Name, Colors, Logo) and not something ho hum like a lease agreement. 4;30 CDT is the magic hour. Fingers crossed. I love most of Bosack's work so I have high hopes for B'Ham and the whole AAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to Paul Lukas over at Uni Watch and suggested that, once all eight teams brands are released, he reach out to Joe and do an ESPN article as well as some extended coverage of Joe's AAF identity development process, from start to finish - as I think that's something that would be really cool to have preserved for sake of the league's history, whether it makes it or not.

dfwabel Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yesterday, they finally announced the remaining seven team presidents, including Birmingham. Since the message was from the city and not the league, I'm not expecting a team name for one of the later cities announced. If it occurs, OK, but those in Birmingham will forget it and move on to college football starting in 72 hours. Nick Saban choice at starting QB is all most are concerned about this week.

The problem is that is a. gambling and b. lack of mass transit other than buses and the LIRR. While they were building the AirTrain, they talked about a complex featuring a casino and a stadium at the Big A. Again, mass transit is a huge problem. How often does the A train run? And it is a long, long ride from midtown. At least for me, I could take the L or J and switch at East NY. The only logical solution would be to rebuild the rockaway connection be it from Jamaica or 74th st. in queens. Now if a stadium was built over Sunnyside yards, I think everyone could reach it relatively easily. Everything crosses the 7 train, except for a few lines, there's bus service down Queens Blvd., there's the new LIRR stop....Sunnyside was mentioned in the early 70s as a site for the Jets. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1621462554538638&set=g.802800243200710&type=1&theater&ifg=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Aqueduct has never been a serious site for a stadium. Now, Sunnyside Yards would be amazing. It's centrally-located and huge.
