GotPixels Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 If the NFL ever truly implemented some lower leagues with promotion/relegation, it would become one of the biggest things in American sports. The reason why the Arena leagues have remained niche sports is that the public knows it's just a junk sport designed for people to have something to do, as opposed to a sport where the players/results will have an impact on the "real" big daddy league, the NFL. Even NFL-Europe, that had stronger ties to the NFL was a niche because it featured teams on another continent, playing in the off-season of the NFL. Hard to get excited about that (but I certainly TRIED to maintain an interest.) A true minor league that plays concurrently with the NFL would be amazing.Yes but imagine a team like the Cowboys, Packers, Redskins, Steelers or Giants getting relegated. And in their place we will get the Iowa Crop Dusters, a minor league can work but IMO one with promotion/relegation cannotThe Tier system would only be for the minor league, so yes, it could work. It would actually develop rivalries and loyal fan bases at the grassroots level. You'll have to wait for Phase 5 of this project for the details though. Old Dog Learning New Tricks.

While I like the idea of keeping it a minor league, I'd love to see a situation where if a minor league team achieves continued game and financial success that they get a shot at being a Big Boy expansion team when the opportunity arises. That would incentivize teams to build a fanbase and put a good product on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full circle on the colors and if you look at the old Dallas Texans Football Card, compare the wordmark to the present day Houston wordmark. Pretty similar. Old Dog Learning New Tricks.
