I've been thinking it'd be cool to see what Uniforms and Logos could look like the for the fictional NFL developmental league and if anyone would want to contribute.

scar988 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm not really a uniform artist, I'm more of a photoshopping sigs kind of guy. but I agree with you. Barnstormers would be a cool thing in the NFL RIP #55 JUNIOR SEAUOwner of ScarDraft.comBleacher Report NFL Featured Columnist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9erShark Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I know it's just a hypothetical concept idea. But could you have a team named Iowa Barnstormers when an arena league football team has the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughRiders9 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I really don't see why not? Maybe in his little "world," the AFL doesn't exist. Instead of the AFL, the players goes to the minors. Wouldn't the players rather play in a league that is affiliated with the NFL and play by their rules and etc etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaklandhusker Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you're looking for people to claim and create concepts for teams (similar to the What if... NHL project), I will try my hand at the Man of War. Because jellyfish are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 One idea I had for a Charleston team is the Rebels in reference to the civil wars first shots at Fort Sumter. Just a thought though. You've got some pretty good suggestions for some teams yourself. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoymoreradio Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 While I would agree that the Hampton Roads area needs a team, I'd give it to Norfolk, since they're really the cultural hub of the area. And call them the Neptunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeh-see Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Virginia Beach, VA - NeptunesAs a 20+ year resident of the city of Virginia Beach that still regularly visits and considers it my true home, Neptunes may just be the best nickname for this city. They have the world famous King Neptune statue on the boardwalk. The annual Neptune Festival that brings people from all over the world. They have the musical group the Neptunes from there. Neptunes is and obvious choice. BUT if you don't want to go that route, I would stray away from Destroyers, I think Navy/military-ish team names for the area are played out. They fit but are exhausted, if that makes sense. I would go with Presidents over Governors, mainly because of the rich Presidential history of the state (eight Presidents were born in or resided in Virginia). Just food for thought.

scar988 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'll probably throw in a Man of War concept and a few others tonight when I get home, but they won't be very pretty.
