Like the logo, though I do prefer the California Condors option, solely for the alliteration.

Here are the Condors' uniforms. The logo is tweaked a little bit.

Sports television executive Eddie Einhorn purchases the rights to the Chicago Fire name, previously used by the short-lived WFL franchise barely a decade ago. The Fire hope to attract disgruntled Bear fans when they play their home games at Soldier Field in the Spring of '83.
Another of the real-life USFL teams to make the cut in this series are the Boston Breakers, who will play their home games at Nickerson Field, former home of the MLB Braves.
For those who remember my short-lived Roller Hockey series, I am repurposing the name and logo for the Los Angeles Action. I am still undecided on a color scheme.

You can definitely expect disgruntled Broncos fans to turn to the Denver Gold to satisfy their football cravings at Mile High Stadium in the Spring of '83.

The Condors' purple and silver prototype was booed ruthlessly by Oakland fans. A month after that botched unveiling, the team introduced a look that shared somewhat similar colors to the city's baseball team.

Unnecessary, but a nice homage to the A's.

The Los Angeles Action complete the unveilings for the Pacific Division, where they will compete against Oakland, Denver and Arizona. The Action will play their home games at the Memorial Coliseum, the future home of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
