WideRight Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Relocate the Atlanta Legends, and you have the Louisville Legends, which works well. The crown logo could be a reference either to King Louis of France or to Muhammad Ali as the boxing heavyweight champ. The colors of purple and gold would not clash with UK or UL. It is a win-win, then maybe in a few years you return a team to Atlanta with a better name/logo for that city. I am not a big fan of a new league moving a lot of its franchises, but Atlanta was always an odd choice because of the competition with MLB, NBA and MLS all during the spring. Louisville has none of that. If I were to place an AAF team in an NFL city in the east it would be New Orleans. No MLB or NHL or MLS to compete with, only the Pelicans, and LA is clearly football country. Plus they could play in Tulane's new stadium, which is a much better size for the AAF and would give NOLA a chance to watch football outside instead of in the dome.

Not the same market but well known enough in KY that maybe you'd want to be a bit more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky and Tennessee use to play for the Beer Barrel in football... until a few students died in a drunk driving accident. Then they retired it. So yeah, I don't see them doing that. Louisville City FC (a minor league soccer club) manages to use a bourbon barrel in their logo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

San Antonio vs Arizona: red vs gold, no clash.

Sykotyk Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'd expect Memphis in white. But the red secondary is so much more noticeable than the light gold it may not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I dislike how San Diego's facemasks and helmet decals look metallic gold instead of yellow. Hope they fix that next season, or even before this season is over. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The thing that bugs me the most when it comes to the Fleet is that their metallic painted facemasks chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season they'll probably introduce alternates for all the teams, and just force the teams that don't need alts to wear them once or twice.

IceCap Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I REALLY don't like the side numbers on Arizona, San Antonio, and San Diego's uniforms. They're all great. With enough modern flare to seem interesting but not so much that they become clown suits. I think it was @Gothamite who said that these uniforms really hit a happy middle ground between modern and traditional so many NFL teams seem to miss, and I agree with that. Those numbers on only one side of the helmets though...it just doesn't work.

Red Comet Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The San Diego Fleet are going to bring out a new jersey against the Iron. Not surprised. The Fleet's gray is between gray and black. I'm betting it'll be a white jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
