Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Wouldn't Toronto plausibly have most of, if not all of, Canada? Especially if both the NFL and CFL don't exist?

Plausibly but doesn't Toronto have that issue of not exactly being liked by the rest of Canada maybe outside of Ontario? But then again that market might be split because you have Buffalo there. When looking into things for the AltHL Halifax gets all the Boston area local channels, so Boston might have Atlantic Canada and parts of Quebec in their market.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Just realized we have Hammerheads, Copperheads and Steelheads. Are there any more "head" names we could've gotten?
I mean if you wanted to go silly with Boston "Chowdaheads" or Blockheads if you wanna go all Charlie Brown.
I was also the one with the Vulcans, right Gritty?
Yes, sorry. Not sure why I missed it when I was typing it in.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Thanks, Gritty! By my count:
DrPepper - 5
DireBear - 3
Edgeworth, Stickman, Burmy, Wallflower, Dan O'Mac - 2
Steelman, QCS, Gritty, NeoPrankster, Darknes, Sportsfan7 - 1
DrPepper cleaned up, with 5 names while DireBear followed with 3. No one was able to get 3 in a division, the most was 2 by DrPepper (in the South and West), Burmy in the North, DireBear in Central, and Wallflower, also in the Central.
At least 5 (I didn't bother thinking too hard) names are in use or have been used by professional sports leagues: Birmingham Vulcans (Birmingham Vulcans, World Football League), Buffalo Bolts (Birmingham [Thunder]Bolts, XFL 2001), Kentucky Stallions (Baltimore Stallions, CFL), Portland Grizzlies (Memphis Grizzlies, NBA), Utah Raptors (Toronto Raptors, NBA), with several others also finding use as minor league teams for various sports. The Steelheads could potentially join this list as the name of Seattle's NHL team.
Finally, and it pains me to say this, but the correct name of the team is the Carolina Reapers, correct? On the list you have Charlotte Reapers and I want to confirm.

That's correct, Carolina Reapers.

Unfortunate, thanks for the quick response.

Sometimes, but not necessarily. Canadians got behind the Raptors. the Jays are Canada's team, especially post-Expo's. Canada likely would support. Its more the Leafs than Toronto. We hate you Yanks more so, especially in hockey.
logically, I think Canada would support the Toronto team because we do like our footbal, CFL or NFL. Quick to turn on them, but we'd suppit them.

That's entirely up to Gritty, he runs this whole thing. If he doesn't want to run it himself, I'd be happy to help. If you wanted to start it yourself, I imagine that'd be an option as well.

I LOVE baseball and would be into it. But really, we just need to fill up that crazy stadium in Los Angeles with the rotating floor.
