mantleisthebest7 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 to kewp80: Yeah, I know I messed up on the league. After I looked at it a few times I knew that changes would be made, whether they were simple or drastic. I like your idea for realignment. I had also thought about moving the Miami franchise to New York, because 1) I still couldnt find an identity for Miami and 2) NY needs a team! I thought up 22 teams cuz I just have this thing where if its a league, it has to be bigger than 10 teams or something (its like league OCD lol). to chestnutz6: yes, I will make logos. It will definetely take a while, but yes I am planning on creating logos and uniforms. Some I have already made up, but thier either not on a computer as of yet or on a different one I am using, so I will try and get those soon.to Spearhead: I really, really like your Texas suggestions. 36ers is the one I like the most, followed by Rough Riders and Wranglers. I would absolutely love to bring the Oilers back to football (it runs in my family - my mom's favorite team growing up was the Oilers and my uncle used to be a sideline coach. I'm something of an Oiler fan myself), but it 1) wouldnt be the same, and 2) they might have thier identity trademarked or stuck in the city or something. I thought when Houston got another team they'd bring back the Oilers, but they didnt so there must be something with that Identity. Anyways, great suggestions.Just so you all know, I'm very much leaning towards relocating Miami to NY, but if you have any other ideas please let me know. Keep suggesting! This is great stuff I'm getting back! Also, does anyone at all have any ideas for the Boston Indians colors? I know I've asked that a few times, but since they are a named franchise they really need colors for me to start working on them. Please, If you have any ideas let me know.'Thanks again!

AndrewPF Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 New idea for Boston if you'll listen. The whole colonial times/red, white, and blue motif is kind of played out around here, so i was thinking of something a little different.The Boston Charlies. There was a song written a while back called "The M.T.A. Song" also known as "Charlie on the M.T.A." which was the name of the subway system at the time. It's about a man named Charlie who gets on the subway in Boston and can't get off due to the fact that he didn't have the one extra nickel to pay the fee to get off. The song is kind of a tradition/legend in Boston and i thought it would be a cool name for a fantasy team. The colors would be red and green because those are the colors of the lines he rode on. He got on at Kendall (red line), switched to the green, and could not get off the train.just an idea. more about the legend of Charlie on the M.T.A. here: http://www.mit.edu/~jdreed/t/charlie.htmlany Dropkick Murphys fans might know this song as Skinhead on the MBTA http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?

mantleisthebest7 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey, I kinda like that bostonfan. I may consider that. I still sort of like the Indians identity, but I may consider the Charlies. What would I use for a logo, though? Anything that comes to mind, let me know. I havent ditched the Indians, though. So I would still like to hear ideas for thier colors. These suggestions are getting better and better! Thanks you guys! Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH42XCC Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have decided to keep Colorado's identity as the Aeros, mainly in part after Fort Collins Air Force base, where I believe that the Air Force Academy is located.Actually, the United States Air Force Academy is located in Colorado Springs. Fort Collins is where Colorado State University is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey at least I was on the same track - Aeros can still work for Colorado. Thanks for that, JH42XCC!

Discrim Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey guys!Hows it goin with you all? I'm ok. I was looking at some high school prep links when I came along some 8-Man football leagues and I thought, "would'nt it be cool if there was a pro league for that?" I know what you guys are thinking, that Arena Football takes care of that, but Im not thinking of Arena (I cant remember if there's 8 in Arena or not...). Im thinking of real 8-man football with real sized fields and outdoor (maybe some indoor) stadiums. I figured, heck why not give it a go!so I am not alone...aside from one small difference, I've had a similar idea I've been occasionally jotting down on whatever paper I can get my hands on for a few years now. Said small difference is I'd like to see how SE Wisconsin would take to sixman football, rather than 8-man. Why? Everybody can go out for a pass in sixman, and I have pretty good hands for a lineman. Either way, this is something that's just begging to get started...taking Racine for instance, we have no arena, so we'd never even attract the Niffle. What we do have in abundance, however, are football fields, former high school players, and graduating players who are mostly gonna be slept on by all the schools. So where the AFL, the indoor leagues would pass right by us, we could have a team in a state or regional sixman league, or even start our own city league.Shoot, I've had ideas for a house league of sorts, about 4-6 teams, and these teams would feed into a main team in a state league a la many American Aussie Rules teams, and this 4-man basketball league where I largely got the idea from.now for your Indians, I'd use dark burgundy and old gold. worked for the Skins, it'll work for you.

Spearhead Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Mantle, I was a huge Oilers fan growing up. My dad settled in the Houston area after a (failed) try-out with the first Oiler team back in 1960. I had hoped the Texans would keep the Oiler name and colors but Bud Adams retains the rights to both.The Boston Indians ought to be in Iowa State red and gold.But if you're going to change the name, call them the Shamrocks.

AndrewPF Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 maybe if you go with the Charlies for Boston, they can be rivals with Atlanta because of the subway-related names. http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?

BigMac12 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm from Tempe. There's a lot of dust storms coming into the Phoenix Area. So, an appropriate nickname could be the Dust Devils. There's another name, but Haboob doesn't sit well in the English language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
