EvilEmpire Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 All of the below is fictional and just a product of my imagination:American football as it turns out may not be so new or so American. Last Friday (09 February 2012), Historians in Ravenna, Italy came across a pennant bearing a Pegasus logo with the name ?Romae? or Rome. Experts believe that this is a remnant of perhaps sport?s biggest conspiracy: Ancient battles were not fought on the battle field with swords and shields but rather on the gridiron with jersey and pads. According to Bryce Earnhardt of the University of Phoenix, "there is evidence of Rome as a football juggarnaught that excelled with #7 Julius Caesar under center, who is widely considered the best QB in history".Pennant found in Ravenna. 100% made by meArtist's reconstruction of football field in the Roman Coliseum (I only put the two together, did not make either model)The Roman Pennant was not the first such evidence of football in the Ancient World. In 1997, A Greek fisherman fishing 19 miles south-east of Athens came up with a helmet in suprisingly good shape, the helmet has since been restored even though the logo was washed off over the years. (I don't wanna reveal too much just yet)Greek Helmet, Used SVG Template from this siteI will establish who the teams are and then come up with uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowTheMyth Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Stadium kinda reminds me of the secret Roman team in Madden NFL 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I love this! This is probably one of the more creative concepts I've seen on these boards. Wouldn't Julius Caeser be sitting in that fancy sideline box instead of playing QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumbergh Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The cost of losing in this league= your life! I'm interested in seeing more ancient football teams. Mayans? Persians? Vikings...(get it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpqmaowl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Is this where Brett Favre played his rookie year? the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilEmpire Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 On October 14th 1974, two children playing on a deserted beach aprox. 50 km west of Lagos, Nigeria found a misplaced piece of history in a via a shard of driftwood on the shore with a logo bearing the hammer of Thor they gave it to a United Nations personal who brought it to University of New York professor Howard Dahl who verified it as an authentic scandenavian artifact.

Gfonk04 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey man! i like this idea for a series! I hope you throw down some uniforms, but I gotta say, it's kinda cool going the "artifact" route. Ancient merchandise is a pretty cool idea. it reminds me of Ice_Cap's awesome historical nations hockey concepts, another of my all-time favorite series: Very cool idea, looking forward to seeing what's next!

EvilEmpire Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 In 2004, a Polish-Egyptian excavation team announced that they had discovered the remains of the Library of Alexandria. When they found a scroll that was still somehow intact they unrolled it to reveal a logo that some say is reminescent of a mysterious football team's logo. The scroll went missing in August 2007 but, rumor has it its being examinened in the basement of the British Museum in London.Scroll in May 2005Edit: Sorry for the pixelated image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnclearInitial Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Romae doesn't mean Rome, because it's either dative singular (to Rome), or vocative plural (O Rome). Roma is what it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilEmpire Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks, I'm working on a uni and another team for this I'll get them on here soon. @anythinglogo Thanks, I'll fix the Rome thing, I just translated it on google translate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
