HurQlez Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looks like the first team will be the Akron Fire.This is what they have up on twitter and facebook. They can't be serious right?It HAS to be just a placeholder. There is so much wrong about this logo...This was done by me. I know it looks cheep. But that was the first draft. The logo has been updated since. But the owners of the Akron Fire want to use my logo so much that any updates to this logo are closed to the public. The uniform and helmet that is done with this logo will look spectacular. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I can see an interesting helmet coming from that flaming ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I read a Facebook post saying that Akron is no long affiliated with the USFL and will be with the NDFL. Their fb page still says USFL and that they can't change it for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est1980 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Beveling, gradients, shadows, obviously different styles of clipart thrown together...One giant fuster cluck.Too right. Effects never a good idea USFL will (supposedly) be a spring league and developmental for NFL/CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armorbeast Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 USFL will (supposedly) be a spring league and developmental for NFL/CFL.I find that highly doubtful.Actually, the NFL itself confirmed this is the arrangement that has been agreed upon if the league actually starts. The NFL is not affiliated with the USFL in regard to control or investment and the NFL expects that the USFL will have it's own funding. The Spring / Summer format is also a go. As to why the league isn't playing, leagues like this don't just form as it generally takes years to form a new league even at the semi pro level. The AAFC, the AFL (now merged with the NFL), WFL and even the USFL all took years of pre development. Adding to this leagues problems has been the forced removal of it's CEO who was just recently convicted of embezzling over a million dollars from two San Dieg companies. You can search the net for the information or just check their updated information on Wiki which is accurate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_United_States_Football_LeagueJim Bailey is now the leagues CEO and a long term NFL exec which may reveal greater interest among at least some NFL owners to support this league because there's a growing number of NFL players who did not go to college. They won't play in 2014 which may be why there is confusion about the Akron franchise as they may begin play with the NDFL to get the team on the field and develop it further since that league as the NDFL is a development league after all and it already exists but at a lower level than the USFL is hoping to establish. Been following the USFL news feeds because we don't have a pro team in Alabama and many of us would like one even if on a lower tier as long as they have television airtime which is a key focus of the new USFL and one reason it's taking so long to get the league together.Will they succeed in getting on the field? I can't say they will but I can't say they won't... just watch and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Interesting - I'd like to learn more about the arrangement, but... just check their updated information on Wiki which is accurate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_United_States_Football_LeagueNo. I wouldn't trust wiki if it told me the Packers play in Green Bay.

IceCap Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The NFL and CFL already have development leagues. They're called NCAA D-I and CIS Football.Not only does this league not seem to have their house in order, but they're planning on filling a niche that honestly doesn't need to be filled.

They're called NCAA D-I and CIS Football.Not only does this league not seem to have their house in order, but they're planning on filling a niche that honestly doesn't need to be filled.I would agree up to a point, Ice_Cap. We've seen what problems teams have had with qb's who haven't played for 4-8 weeks, get signed and are expected to perform as if they've been with that team the entire season. You've got to have something for these players to keep their skills sharp if teams are going to sign them and keep them or else it's Minnesota all over again. And does anyone really think Tebow is going to be ready if someone wants to give him another shot after not playing for an entire season? Btw and off topic, Tebow could do himself a world of good if he'd haul his carcass up to Canada and work with Damon Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderbread Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Spoken like someone who's never had to go through it....ask jerry rice, tom brady, troy aikman, michael irving, ect… how they became great, it was from practice and preparation, ask why guys like jamarcus russell failed, its because he didn't prepare, didn't stay in shape, and didn't practice on his own.

kwmoore Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 And everyone one of them would also tell you you've gotta have the snaps.
