MJWalker45 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Did anyone else occasionally think Salt Lake was at Memphis due to the field? I was watching on the app so didn't have the audio cues of commentary. Also, they're getting better at providing info on the app. They show the score and down and distance though it seems tied to the web page which is behind the actual gameplay by 10-15 seconds.

No, but the Stallions had no other real option within Salt Lake City/County but Rice Eccles Stadium. Maybe next season the AAF will throw in some extra money so they can paint over the Utes field markings. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, liked the Fleet’s new white uniforms. Didn’t feel as much like an afterthought as some of the other change kits we’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If I could make slight changes to the Fleet's white jerseys I'd make the collar and cuffs dark gray. Then change the number outline/shadow to yellow. You can barely see the light gray outline on a white jersey. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideRight Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 If only Real SLC was open to allowing the AAF to use RIo Tinto Stadium. That would be a great venue for the AAF (as would most MLS stadiums) but I understand why they don't want to do that. Football really destroys grass fields in a way that soccer just doesn't, plus unless there was a way to wash away the football lines after the game, it would ruin the look of the nice, clean soccer pitch.

crosfam Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Orlando has announced they will wear alt dark blue jerseys again, this time in Atlanta. If Atlanta is in purple as expected this makes little sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSL might have had a price which Ebersol and AAF weren't willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it looks similar to the regular jersey that's good. If it's plain white with numbers that don't match the purple jersey it'll get laughed at pretty hard.

Pauly Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 That's not to bad of a jersey. Too bad they didn't have those threads when they played in San Diego against the Fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Iron will debut a white jersey tomorrow at Memphis? The helmet will definitely look better with the white jerseys. The one thing that bothers me about their uniforms is the mismatched purples. I think the iron alternate should be gray since they don't have any white on their black uniforms. It would fit their identity better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOVER Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Home/Away should've been done from the start. It's resulted in an amateur-unveiling process mid-season and again just reeks of this league's unpreparedness. The failure to do this from the start was a major missed marketing opportunity, but that about sums up the entire league's brand rollout. It looks like the XFL was much smarter in taking 2 years to ramp up and get started, and that the AAF made the original XFL's mistake and rushed it. Here's hoping the XFL's branding continues to be strong and that they make their team name/mascot/uniform unveilings extremely special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
