Re: North American Association of Football - NAAF

To bad Xerxes didn't get signed. Hopefully he can find his way to a roster before or during the season.

Edit: Cool to see Al Washington get a chance at a starting job.

1973 Field Design Changes

A couple of teams are changing their fields for the 1973 season.

Providence Gold Stars
Providence is adding the 4th star to each endzone wordmark.


Pittsburgh Blacksmiths
The Blacksmiths will have their own field design for the first time a year after they got the lease at Riverfront Stadium of Pittsburgh. The new field will feature the team’s logo at midfield and a new number font (the same as their jerseys). The diamond pattern in the endzones was also removed.


Winnipeg Falcons
It is also noted that Provencher Park in Winnipeg will only have one field design with the western schools having transitioned to Hybrid rules. 
*Note this occurred last season, but I wanted to note it now since I had not before.

Re: North American Association of Football - NAAF

I was thinking about Alexander Wynn, the father of the three Wynn brothers, and his history. This is my idea. He grew up in Western New York (near Buffalo) and was a high school star before lighting up opposing offenses at WNY. He graduated in 1940 and played for Buffalo before being drafted in 1942 to fight in the Second World War.

He returned with his love of football intact but had lost a leg in battle and couldn't play. He was then made Head Coach in Watauga High (where he coached his two sons by his first wife, Le'Darius and Xerxes) before receiving a position on the staff at his alma mater, Western New York (Go Whitetails!) where he coaches to this day.

Another point to help flesh out this, is that Cambyses is Le'Darius and Xerxes half brother, though they are close).

If this is cool let me know. Not trying to step on any toes here.

Yeah, I mean, it's fine. It doesn't impact the rest of the project, so it's okay with me.
