The Outlaws will be moving even further south than that. What would you call the team from Denver?

Denver Gold or Denver Stampede

And there lies the problem, I can't and have no interest in creating my own logos.  So Denver seems really limited to me.

However, I do have a question to those following this league; the Las Vegas Outlaws are relocating to Mexico City this offseason.  Should they go by the Vipers..

or the Dorados..?

My vote is for the Mexico City Dorados...the nickname should be Spanish and expressive of national pride.

As for Denver's name, I'd go with another old Arena name; the Colorado Crush.

“The 2021 Playoff Field is Set!” 

May 11, 2021

Baltimore, MD - After only trading Field Goals in the first quarter, that action really picked up in the second when Soul QB DeShone Kizer found Braxton Miller down the right sideline for a 48 scoring strike that gave the Soul the 10-3 lead.  However, Bortles and the Brigade would respond with back to back touchdown drives to make it a 17-10 game at the half.  To start the third quarter, Bortles again found Jordan Matthews in the back of the endzone, and after a Soul Field Goal, Bortles only needed one play on the next drive where he hit Russell Shepard for a 79 yard Touchdown pass.  With the game now 31-13 going into the 4th, Soul Head Coach opened up the playbook and it nearly brought his team all the way back.  Wendell Smallwood first scored on a 7 year trot, before backfield mate Carlos Hyde hit a 58 yard homerun on the next drive to make the game 31-28.  But just like he had the whole game, Bortles came up huge once again with a game sealing 39 yard Touchdown pass to Jordan Reed.  The Soul didn't give up and added another Smallwood rushing touchdown but would fall short on the scoreboard, 38-35.
