dfwabel Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 To All:The A11FL used Behance to crowdsource designs by invite. Just search "A11fl + behance" to seen dozens of proposed designs.As for use of usfl names, a few people own the majority. The old usfl owner who pleaded guilty to fraud owned some and man named Timothy Vest owns most.Also, none of the prospective cities have any commentst from local officials regarding anything. Anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I did notice that two designers had accounts at both dribbble and behance. http://a11flmagazine.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrano123 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Looks like Portland and San Antonio aren't getting a team this year. They weren't on any of the concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrano123 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Why did they have like two options for each city?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Have you seen the pic from when they were trying to select the league logo, Tyrano? You want the best choice possible for marketing and identity purposes. I've read articles where teams mixed and matched concepts to get exactly what they wanted.

Tyrano123 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I guess that would make sense. In my mind I was thinking that they should have picked a name then worked with some ideas but that sounds better with more options than just one.

kwmoore Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just guessing here but they may have 2-3 different names for each location with 7-8 concepts per name. IMHO, someone should start some USFL fauxbacks with Dizzyline's concepts. Those just screamed fauxback!4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were Express concepts too. Dallas had an Outlaws team once upon a time but I can't remember the sport but I left it alone. The Breakers won't return to Portland as a football team due to a soccer team having claimed that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Dusty Sloan, who is basically the Don Quixote for non-NFL professional football and is a freelancer for the A11FL whose actual job is a pizza delivery driver! I cannot make that up, he is not a franchisee for a pizza chain, he just delivers pizzas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwmoore Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Understandable. So many failed and "joke" leagues have come before. Only the American Football League was successful. Greedy owners killed the only other direct competition. No players get signed from the current spring leagues and I can't remember the last player out of the Arena Leagues to make it big. The NFL tells its customers "We are the only game on town" and people take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
