walkerws Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 That would be brilliant.So it's probably not that. I thought it's for a drawbridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty06306 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 God forbid these teams use unique names... I know they're not as original as a team called the Packers or Browns... some of yall are way too harsh on what they're trying to do. The main thing I'd change about these identities is the helmet stripes, but other than that you have a pretty cool little league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The big thing is seeing if they play 2 years in a row. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Will this new Franchise have uniforms like Omaha & Brooklyn do/did or will they be issued high school practice uniforms like Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Since Omaha and Brooklyn were using Shockweb 1's they weren't much better than Boston with the exception of custom wordmarks. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Omaha isn't coming back. Seemed like their charter franchise. With the small attendance they were drawing and being league owned, they lost money to the point that Omaha's last game was cancelled.These two NY/Penn League teams pay a franchise fee to try to cover salaries and expenses. It's now up to them to recoup those costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Will this new Franchise have uniforms like Omaha & Brooklyn do/did or will they be issued high school practice uniforms like Boston?Remember, Boston moved to Mahoning Valley (Youngstown OH) with the Brawlers nickname so their unis should remain the same or whatever is given to them.

Gothamite Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 According to the ad the Cyclones sent me, "over 40" XFXL players were signed to NFL rosters last season. I'm guessing late-season practice squad fill-ins, but that's not nothing. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Their player "callback" and from NFL camp claims are BS.http://www.kenn.com/the_blog/?p=6232As for the Brooklyn uni, it doesn't feature the Nivea patch even though the league said that the agreement was multi-year.They recycled the Blacktips uniforms.http://m.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2014/10/27/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Nivea-FXFL.aspx?

Late season practice squad additions wouldn't be cause for lockers being haphazardly labeled. I'm not buying 40 of them, either. It's where I sit.
