    VILLAIN DANCE

    this pos started another football league, run by andrew luck's dad. they have some different rules than the nfl to make them edgy. AND NONE OF THEM ANTI-MURICAN PROTESTS. [face_flag][face_flag]

    all-time college great bob stoops coaches a team, for some reason. the quality of play will be predictably atrocious. that's about it.

    starts right after the super bowl. tv schedule for the first (and possibly last) season:

    Will they finish the season is the correct question.

    Will they fold sooner into the season than the AAF, or later?

    oh yes the teams, i forgot. i am a poor thread creator

    i'm pulling for the windows 98 clip art logo in the bottom left, because the battlehawks is an interesting name

    curious to see which one of these teams signs philip rivers. he'll fit right in, and if his 76 kids show up, it'll be great for attendance

    Didn't he just move to Tampa? Vipers it is! They will have at least as many fans as the Chargers.

    These professional football leagues that want to rival the NFL always want to start their season shortly after the Super Bowl, which to me is a big mistake. Football fans aren't eagerly wanting to see another season of football right off the bat, much less an inferior start up league. They should start their season when there's an itch to see professional football on TV, like in late April or May (After the NFL draft). The XFL would do well to pick up some undrafted players and add them to their league; do their own televised draft to market themselves. It was the drafting of college players that really forced the NFL and AFL to merge.

    You are so right. May-June season and Championship on or around 4th of July.

    Wouldn't that be too hot in some of these cities though?

    I like that the LA logo isn’t even trying. Like they deliberately decided “we can’t even get people to show up to NFL games here, what’s the point?”.

    If there's one thing Vinnie Mac loves it's endangering employees so that would be no obstacle at all!

    Where did they get these logos? the bottom of a clip art clearance bin?

    I think he should have started an arena football league instead.

    I’m fairly certain I used the Dallas Renegades exact logo for a create a team in one of the older madden games. I named them the Bandits and the color scheme was different, but it really looks like the exact same clip art. I love it.

    A shade of green to make the Seahawks blush.

    A lot of the schemes look as if they were put together on the computer and then went straight to fabrication before they tested them in natural lighting.

    The name is uninspired, though.

    Not as uninspired as Houston lifting the logo and color scheme from its nfl counterparts.
