Makes me wonder if any school/team ever had a set of jerseys pull double duty between football and lacrosse. At a point between the late 80's and mid 90's some jerseys for each sport essentially had the same layout. Particularly the short cut/mid drift era of jerseys.

Problem is the schools big enough to have both teams probably have the finances for two sets of uniforms.

This seven team playoff nonsense needs to end. Seriously hope they reduce it to top four in the near future.

I don't think we'll see it drop that much, possibly top 6. But I hate playoffs where everyone in the league is all but guaranteed a spot.

Rabil's justification for the screwy playoff formats this league has been using was wanting players to get as many game checks as possible. I think there is a way to do that without allowing 87.5% of the league in to the playoffs. My solution, send the teams eliminated from playoff contention on an international tour. While the top 4 (in my ideal PLL) teams battle it out for the league championship, the bottom four could play exhibition games against national teams from outside North America. They could vlog it and everything

Holding out hope for 2 new teams when they settle into home cities, then they could go to 6 teams in the playoffs with 10 total teams.

Championship game is set. Selection of the 8 home cities for next season should be coming soon.

Kind of out of nowhere but the Saskatchewan Rush changed their logo.

Congrats to Six Nations on the Mann Cup win.

I like the buffalo head but the Rush being split by it, not so much.

Now we await which cities the PLL clubs will inhabit.

Could have sworn they said the cities would be announced during the championship game months ago.

The NLL announced a new schedule format today, along with getting rid of conferences altogether.

 

I personally love the change. It's been long overdue for each team to play each opponent once each season. I do wonder how it will impact some of the smaller franchises though, like Panther City or Albany.

All good news for the NLL.

Would it have any impact? Some of the travel would be a bit further but they're still playing the same amount of games.

but it's a fairer distribution if they play more teams in the league.

It sounds like Philadelphia (Chester, PA) will be part of the PLL going forward. If not as a home city to one of the 8 teams, it may be a regular championship site.
