Favorite Team: Cleveland Rangers
Least Favorite Team: Don't have one (was Chicago Zephyrs during their dynasty run)
Favorite Look: Cleveland Rangers (1966-) & Texas Roughriders (1964-65)
Least Favorite Look: Minnesota Blue Ox (The Ox kinda looks like you took a photo of an ox head and painted it Blue, I personally think it should look a little more cartoony but you do you DP) The Ox also looks a little sad and needs to look a tad more agressive, but maybe the sad look fits since they have never won a playoff game in team history
Favorite Moment: Cleveland winning the Champions Bowl in 1966-67 and Detroit beating Chicago in the 1961-62 west division final.
Other: What do other sports look like in this world (Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, etc.)

How far are you into this sim? I mean like not having the graphics or branding of the teams.

I'm a bit confused about the question, but I'll try and answer. I've got the next two seasons simulated and some of the graphics done, but I'm working on the write ups, which is the hardest part for me so it takes some time.

 You know when I made that original Riders look, it was a total rip off of the Dallas Texans AFL look and meant to be temporary. I never knew it would be so enjoyed. It'll definitely be involved in future brand changes.
The Ox's logo is meant to be more of an illustration. Similar to the Vikings, Broncos, and Raiders (there's more but you get the idea). I'm not sure if they'll ever get a huge modern update, I personally think they're one of the best looks in the league. Their helmet logo also isn't an actual logo so the team doesn't feel any need to update the logos necessarily.

As for other leagues in the universe, I've got a few of the baseball teams uploaded on the baseball forum. The ULB is pretty heavily tied to the NFA with the Bombers, Bulldogs, Cougars, Barbarians, and Blue Ox all sharing a stadium with their respective ULB teams. The Tigers and Whales have also spent time in ULB stadiums. As for Basketball and Hockey, I haven't really done much for those since they haven't had much of an affect on the NFA.

I have a whole stadium database if anyones curious actually, I would love to go into so more detail about the things of the NFA.

What's your favorite team? Milwaukee Bavarians, Cincinnati Sabres

What's your least favorite team? Baltimore Bulldogs. Between a basic, generic look and a lack of success, I forget the exist typically. So I don't like them for their lack of anything that makes them stand out.

What's your favorite look out of any team of all time? I love what you've done with the Sabres.

What's your least favorite look out of any team of any time? As I stated earlier, the Bulldogs just are very "blah", and without the history of success to justify their look, it's forgettable.

What are some of your most memorable players? I honestly don't remember specific players.

Finally, do you have any feedback, or is there anything about this league/universe you want to know that I haven't explained? Nothing that I can think of.

 
Thank you for the kind words about Cincinnati! As for Baltimore, I agree with your sentiments, I definitely think a bigger rebrand is somewhere in their future, something to make it standout a bit more from the pack. Theres also been some concerns regarding how similar the black and red is to Chicago, so who knows.

What's your favorite team?
Minnesota Blue Ox

What's your least favorite team?
Probably Chicago because of their dynasty, otherwise Milwaukee because it's Wisconsin

What's your favorite look out of any team of all time?
Probably Chicago's current look even though I don't like the team, I also really like the Ox and Sabres looks though

What's your least favorite look out of any team of any time?
I like the uniqueness of using one color at home and one on the road, but I've never really been a fan of Washington

Favourite Team: Minnesota, but Colorado and Cincy have a chance at being my #2

Least Favourite: none

Favourite Looks: Cleveland, Cincy, Minne, Chicago

Least Favourite: not really any, I think the only minor peeve I have is that the Ox horns are just so non-symetric that it bothers me a bit. You do a great job overall getting the old school feel, especially with jerseys which I feel are much more old school style than my own NAAF ones.

Players that come to me are: QB Burt O'Conner (the old Minne QB), QB Eugene Addams, RB Elijah Boone, and QB Scott Hogg

It's good to hear that you don't have a least favorite look Wally, I agree that the horns did feel a bit off, but I was honestly just a bit lazy to fix them, but I finally got around to reworking them and I think they look a lot better.

Those players you picked definitely are some of the best! It's generally thought that Addams and Hogg are two of the best to play the game, it's a shame that we only got 1 Champions Bowl matchup out of the two of them. Boone is definitely up and coming, he's one of the better backs in the league next to Rodgers, Parks, and Peck, but he has the advantage of being several years younger than those three, entering his 5th season next year while both Peck and Rodgers enter their 9th and Parks his 12th.
O'Connor was good, he led the Ox to their first two post season appearances, but he was never really as good as the top QBs of his time. He failed to live up to expectation and really fell off after the Addams trade which landed him in Philly. Hornets fans aren't too mad however, that got them Oscar Washington, who's looking to be one of the best young players in the league so far.
