KJTALBOT Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 People on the internets have starting calling the UFL logo a "clam eating a starfish". I wish I'd thought of it. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Here's an idea - go old school. Let the teams play for a season without nicknames, and let their identities evolve - like back in the day. Eventually a nickname will catch on, and they can go with that. They can still market their state / city gear during the season. It's a new league with a lot working against it - they need to take a chance.I'm not sure if there could be any legal issues though - like what if a newspaper writer claims that he came up with the name? If they could get crap like that worked out in advance, I think this is the way to go rather than have a focus group come up with a nickname that gets forced down people's throats.The AAFL tried that. Remember the branding disaster that was?Why doesn't Birmingham or Memphis have a team?They've shown they can do well with other "minor-pro" leagues before, so I think they should be first in line!If there are no owners, there will be no teams.

infrared41 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 the UFL wont last long.That's the spirit. I'm pretty sure Orlando will be given some sort of generic name along the lines of the Rage and Thunder. Unfortunately Orlando isn't known for much, outside of the area, other than Disney World.I submitted Orlando Thrillers as a nod to the theme parks. Don't forget Universal is there as well.

Don't forget Universal is there as well.I like your line of thinking, but I'm not a big fan of the name. I could go for something along the lines of Droost's suggestion (Rhinos). It has nothing to do with Orlando, but it is "tough" sounding, and there is a precedent for teams being named after animals/warriors/mythical figures not native to their hometowns (e.g. Jaguars, Lions, Titans, Giants, Knights, etc.) Sig by TalktoChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaLionsNY Mobsters(Dons just as good or MobBosses)Utah PonyExpress(didn't they ride through on way to coast?)Hartford Whales(not Whalers, to keep Peta at bay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeolimagolf Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 A team will never work in Mexico. Security would be an issue. All the athletes will get kidnapped and held for ransom to their teams. For the Hartford team I say go classic and use "Charter Oaks". It's a cool name that steals a little history from professional football in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
