CrimsonBull9584 361 Posted February 9 What's the word "on the street" about the European League of Football? Best I can tell, it will be a professional American football league, not unlike NFL Europe, but beyond that.... information is spotty and my attempts to contact them on various social media has been fruitless. What has everyone been hearing? https://www.europeanleague.football/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJWalker45 6,070 Posted February 9 https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/european-league-of-football-2021-season-germany-poland-zeljko-karajica-nfl Looks like someone wanting to test if they can use the old WALF/NFL Europa logos and teams. There is a Frankfurt team that still calls themselves the Galaxy, but with a different logo. Colors are still the same though. Most likely the German teams will be from the German Football League (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Football_League). I suspect they'll have limits on American players on each roster as well. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrimsonBull9584 361 Posted February 18 I've been trying to contact someone in the league for a week now. Both to find out more about it, and to possibly get a job with them, but no one has responded. They won't answer their e-mails, nor have I been able to get a hold of them via Twitter or Facebook. Most leagues at least would reply in some fashion by now, makes me question their legitimacy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGlowin 2,206 Posted March 9 Well this is a good sign. They will have rights to the old NFL Europe team designs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharos04 1,190 Posted March 11 Looks like they’ve already announced two new teams: Frankfurt Galaxy Hamburg Sea Devils https://twitter.com/SeaDevilsHH?s=20 https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/european-league-of-football-teams-hamburg-sea-devils-frankfurt-galaxy-nfl one article mentioned there’s still a team in Berlin. Could mean the return of the Berlin Thunder as well 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I presume this means this league won't be resurrecting the Barcelona Dragons, which was one of my favorite NFL Europe brands. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GDAWG 1,835 Posted March 23 They have also brought back the Berlin Thunder and Cologne Centurions. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as they changed the Hamburg Sea Devils logo, it's probably case of the NFL letting them lapse. I remember the Galaxy logo still being used after 2007 before a different logo was designed by the Frankfurt team in the GFL. It still makes no sense to change the colors to it. Purple and orange looked way better than it does now. Berlin and Cologne retain their names as well, but not the logos they had in NFL Europe. https://www.americanfootballinternational.com/shake-up-to-inaugural-elf-line-up-announced-3-new-franchises-enter-2-exit/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This must have just happened today. Their instagram feed shows what looks like a press conference with the old WLAF/NFL Europe helmet on a table across from another one with the new logo. (It almost looks Photoshopped onto that picture, which would be weird.) Apologies, I'm terrible at embedding social media posts on here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMzTcNOpu-L/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
