GeorgesL Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I'm curious to see what the Quebec Trappers' logo would look like, although I woudn't use the beaver as the centrepiece for the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 How come I don't see "Cologne Centurions" as one of the choices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 I guess they all should be but I wanted 5 and chose to keep Rhein for some odd reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 If you can suggest either a new name for Windsor or a new city thatd be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 You are aware that Portland Prowlers was the name of our one-year wonder in the IPFL back in 2000, right? Not trying to be critical, just trying to encourage you to follow your original premise of original nicknames for these cities. Same thing with Omaha Bison -- their IPFL franchise was the Omaha Beef. I really dig the Bison nickname, though!Overall, I like the Birmingham Renegades. That has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 I had never heard of this IPFL team. Well, anyone with a Portland idea it would be appreciated. The Beef I had and I think Bison is the complete opposite of how poor a name Beef is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBoyer Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 As with the Mexico City Aztecas? With the extra "a" at the end of Aztec, that was a CBA team in the mid-1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Ahhh crap, its sooo hard to make this stuff original and make it accurate and fun. Well, I dont know what Im going to do about that, but of course any sugestions on changes would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 nice to see a Las Vegas team named after something different than gambling, cowboys or the Strip.

JH42XCC Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I would add the Connecticut Commandos into the mix and give 'em a red, white, and blue color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneRaizer Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd get rid of the "City" in Mexico City and just call them the Mexico Aztecas.Britain could use a team, move the Sea Devils back to Scotland and resurrect the Claymores.Instead of Windsor, I'd move them to Halifax and christen them the Nova Scotia Schooners (the Bluenose was a schooner).What about a team in the Caribbean? Move Birmingham to San Juan and call them the San Juan Hurricanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT44 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 What do you think about Hartford Harpoons or Hartford Tritons? I like JH42XCC's idea of the Connecticutt Commandos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 I want to avoid CFL conflict cities, that goes for the NFL too, unless a team were IN NYC, which I dont see having a stadium that could house 30,000 people.Im working on an LA right now, but I cant think of a great name.I love the name Mammoth but I cant think of where to put them....Saskatoon?I think if I have to Im going to go with New Mexico as the Nomads...what do you think?neo_prankster you came up with a lot of great city suggestions in Europe, Im thinking of possibly "relocating" (through the magic of design) the existing NFL E teams based on a few of your suggestions. What do you think about Hartford Harpoons or Hartford Tritons? I like JH42XCC's idea of the Connecticutt Commandos.I want to keep away from "war themes" because of Iraq and the war on terror and I also want it to be Hartford since I want them to "play" at Rinschler Field in East Hartford, I also dont really like the word Connecticut, hey Im from here I can say that! Other considerations are "viable" locations/venues. I dont think (now, dont get me wrong, a CFL team would work) Halifax would be a great location....#1 is no viable stadium and I want existing venues....that goes for Puerto Rico too.Thats a lot to digest, thanks for your help and input and keep it coming!

WideRight Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Either Saskatoon or Saskatchewan has to go. If you divide the population of Saskatchewan between 2 teams you will have 27 people at each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
