LWeirich1964 2 Posted July 5, 2019 If you notice, there are only five logos in the Arena Football League page (Albany, Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Washington). Cleveland is on hiatus and the league added two new teams (Atlantic City and Columbus). 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just looked at the website and I see the current team that are playing logos. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the site needs to be updated to fix that. Sorry, though it was something that the main AFL site did. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMtexan09 164 Posted August 21, 2019 To be honest, as much as I missed the era of San Jose SabreCats and Arizona Rattlers, AFL should try to spread most to the Eastern cities such as Virginia Beach, Richmond, Charleston and Providence. That would help to grow the league. That's my 5 cents thought 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sodboy13 5,761 Posted October 29, 2019 "If it moves forward, the AFL may become a traveling league, similar to the Premier Lacrosse League, whereby all players practice in a centralized location and fly to a different city each weekend to play games." rofl no 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ferdinand Cesarano 4,591 Posted October 29, 2019 Aaaand so the IFL now becomes the sport's undisputed top tier. (It was probably the top last year, also.) I just hope the Nebraska Danger don't fold, so that the brilliant Steve Stein can continue enchanting audiences from the booth. (Seriously, this guy is outstanding; he is major-league calibre.) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good talent has a way of being found. I doubt he'll be out of a job for long if the Danger do move/fold. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neo_prankster 3,421 Posted October 29, 2019 No matter what anyone says, I'm definitely gonna miss the old AFL. Plenty of great times watching on ESPN during the 90s. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of great times watching on ESPN during the 90s. I do, too. Note the logos of the CityHawks and the Dragons in my sig. But, really, the old AFL folded after the 2008 season. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dilbert 966 Posted October 30, 2019 From Ron Jaworski“We are ceasing local business operations as we restructure. The Soul and the AFL are not ceasing operations as we explore other options. All operations are running through the AFL office” So basically to put it into the words of former Soul owner Jon Bon Jovi the league is "living on a prayer." A Statement from the "Im not dead yet" AFL 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AFL at this point is a tainted name so we're not going to have a repeat of the first go around with the minor league buying the trademarks and assuming the name. There's no way that the NAL or IFL would want to inherit that baggage. The ONLY way there's going to be any sort of legacy is if defunct team names get resurrected in the regional leagues by buying the IP through bankruptcy court. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary 789 Posted November 28, 2019 I can see the Philadelphia Soul being brought over to the IFL or NAL and that’s pretty much the only worthy name I can think of. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to see Iowa Barnstormers trademarks have been rescued by the IFL already. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
