Gary Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm just curious, next year will be the Arena Football Leagues 20th year. Now i'm curious, if they are going to go with throwbacks. What would you use for each of the 18 teams. Utah/Salt Lake City is entering the season next year. So I don't know what you can use. Anyway here is my predictionsArizona Rattlers-Since there have never been a logo change, or any uniform overhaul I leave it the way it is.Austin Wranglers-Since they are a newer franchise, I would like to see them in some sort of 2001 Houston Thunderbears or a 1992 San Antonio Force helmet and uniformsChicago Rush-Of Course a 1987 Chicago Bruisers Throwback Colorado Crush- 1987 Denver DynamitesColumbus Destroyers- Either the 1991 Columbus Thunderbolts or the 1999 Buffalo DestroyersDallas Desperados- Dallas Texans of 1990Georgia Force- Since the Nashville Kats are coming back and they don't have much of a history, I would use the 2002 silver helmetsGrand Rapids Rampage- Since they are historically the Detroit Drive(Read their history)I would love to see them in Detroit Drive gear, or if they can't I would like to see the pewter helmets or Las Vegas Gladiators- Either the 1994 Las Vegas Sting or the 1997 New Jersey Red DogsLos Angeles Avengers- 1987 LA CobrasNashville Kats- 2000 Nashville Kats-Year they went to the Arena BowlNew Orleans VooDoo- '91 New Orleans NightNew York Dragons- Return of the Iowa Barnstormers Orlando Predators- 1991 throwbacks, One with the Claws ripping through the helmetPhiladelphia Soul- Since there have been no team in Philadelphia before this. I don't know. So keep it the sameSan Jose Sabercats- See Arizona RattlersTampa Bay Storm- 1991 ThrowbacksUtah Franchise- First year in 2006I'd like to see what you say, what should they wear as throwbacks?

Gary Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I wonder if anyone would do some kind of AFL Uniform Project on this. Sounds kind of fun. I can't do it since I suck. Kind of like the NBA Uniform Project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Or some kind of Re-modernization of the defunct franchises. That would be pretty sweet to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 well, i do recall the Rattlers used to have copper pants (same design as their black ones), and also that when they were first formed, they had black pants with striping just like the sleeves. heh, I could probably do it despite the fact that those Zubaz unis would be a bitch to do.

mjrbaseball Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I always thought the Iowa Barnstormers had the best helmet, with the old-fashioned pilot's goggles on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I always thought the Iowa Barnstormers had the best helmet, with the old-fashioned pilot's goggles on it. I honestly think they had one of the best overall look as far as their uniform went. Always reminded me of a fighter pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool to have that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rich Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Especially in regards to the New Orleans Voodoo as New Orleans Night--NO ZUBAZ.No. Nein. Nyet. Non.NO!!!I didn't attend a game in '91 out of protest over the Night's Zubaz unis. Said I wouldn't attend until they got rid of the Zubaz. They did, so I saw a game in '92.Damn, those things were hideous........ It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 C'mon, the logo wasn't bad. The uni's blew, but the logo wasn't bad.And let me join the chorus...Zubaz... ZUBAZ... ZUBAZ!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I think San jose changed uni's last year, so switching back to the uni's from 2003 would be cool.Please people, ZUBAZ has gone the way of leisure suits and men wearing leg warmers. The 70's and 80's are gone people! No more Zubaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
