WideRight Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Get ready folks, there will be a fan poll to pick the next identity for a Las Vegas USFL team after the Thunder make their move official. The city, and its new domed stadium, will get a new tenant and that tenant will get a new identity. Here is the premise: I have 3 different identities selected, all from real teams from a variety of leagues. You will get the chance to vote as to which one the club will use. So, what are the options, and which would you want to lobby for? Coming very soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...this escalated pretty fast...looking forward to seeing where the Thunder move and who moves to Vegas (I'm doubting an expansion team is in the works as of yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Probably the San Diego Thunder. Could we see the WNBA Aces? The Rattlers from indoor football? An American Footie league had a great Scorpions logo but I can't find it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcomet Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I could see either the IFL Rattlers or AFL 2.0 Blackjacks brands making the jump to the USFL and working well for a Vegas team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyReds Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Louisville Colonels in honor of the Kentucky Colonels of the ABA and Colonel Sanders you could just use EKU’s colonel alt Edited July 6 by CincyReds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyReds Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The new Vegas’s team should definitely use the Atlantic City Blackjack’s branding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Just as a hint, all 3 Las Vegas options will be based on teams that played in Las Vegas IRL. That limits it quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gladiators" could still work since Caesar's Palace is right around the corner. Quote The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the Texas Outlaws aren't going anywhere unless there's a big twist coming...otherwise my three guesses are Posse (CFL-USA), Locomotives (UFL-09), and Vipers (XFL 3.0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I'm taking the "variety of leagues" comment seriously so I'm picking the Las Vegas Gladiators (AFL), Las Vegas Aces (WNBA) and Las Vegas 51s (AAA baseball). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManillaToad Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Are the Thunder rebranding when they move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozap17 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I'm guessing they won't, unless there's something in the works for that my guess is that the Thunder will keep the nickname and uniforms as is for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankTheTank Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Vegas Vipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 This is tough. I don’t want to give too much away and have to remember that where I am in producing stories and results is about 20-30 days ahead of the website. For example, I am working on Week 3 of the 2014 season, which will publish on July 25, right now but have to remember that the published stories are at the 2013 Summer Bowl. So, I can say that the Las Vegas situation will play out in the offseason and 1st half of the 2014 season. That Vegas is moving, but will be replaced and that the USFL will lose 1 current identity to add a new Las Vegas identity which is based (loosely, depending on who wins the name the team vote) on a real football team that has played in Las Vegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 OK, now I'm going with Gladiators, Posse and Vipers. And no more guesses from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozap17 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Sounds like it'll be three among Posse, Gladiators, Locomotives, and Vipers; out of those four I'd say Posse is least likely as we already have Outlaws and Bandits (and Renegades if that logo can be retooled away from Native American imagery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyReds Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Locomotives,Gladiators, and Posse but won’t you have to redesign the posse some their logo is kind of outdated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Hi all, Sorry but the stories about Las Vegas's relocation and the relocation to Las Vegas will still be a while in coming (at least the design parts). In the meantime, here are a few tidbits for you: Between 2015 and 2020 in the Alt History USFL, you should expect to see the following: 3 Team relocations (including Las Vegas leaving, a team coming to Las Vegas and a new city "stealing" a team. Expansion in either 2019 or 2020 to bring the league to 30 teams. Will they replace lost franchises or explore new cities? COVID-20 producing chaos for 2 years (sorry, unavoidable. Can't pretend it did not happen). Adidas losing the USFL contract and the new uniform provider updating all 28/30 teams over a 5 year span. And, just to throw some images your way, here are the next 3 Summer Bowl Logos. 2014 ATLANTA 2015 LOS ANGELES 2016 NEW JERSEY 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
