The UFL has just about finalized the names for the premeire season.

Old Name                       New Name

Orlando Tuskers                Florida Tuskers

San Francisco Rockfish         California Redwoods

Las Vegas Locomotives          Las Vegas Locomotives

New York Sentinels                    ??????

I think they will stay with New York Sentinels and use BLACK as the main uniform color. It sets them up nicely for a Radiers-Sentinels exhibition game, don’t you think?

What happens next season?

At a press conference today, United Football League Commissioner Michael Huyghue announced the California franchise will be named the Redwoods and unveiled innovative team uniforms showcasing the Redwoods’ “Premiere” season colors of green, blue and white.

So, does this mean that the 2010-2011 season will feature new team colors?

It should. Stay tuned!

All hail the California Redwoods!

You have a professional football team. You want to strike fear into the hearts of your opponents. You want to be able to build brand recognition and fan loyalty. You are in Northern California. You are going to play in Candlestick (I’m an old timer. Sue me), I mean AT&T Park.

Some of the other sports clubs in your area have the following names: Warriors, 49ers, Raiders, Kings, Athletics, Giants, and Sharks. What do you do?

Based on fan support and input, the UFL (United Football League – http://www.ufl-football.com) went with what was arguably one of the WEAKEST names for a professional sports organization.

They were christened the San Francisco Rockfish.

But wait, as the late Billy Mays once said, there’s more…

The UFL just rechristened the team as the Calfornia Redwoods.

I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking that naming your sports club after an animal is better than naming it after a plant.

So with the premiere season of the fledging UFL less than two months away, I present this site to you, the to be and would be fans of the California Redwoods.

I am in the process of adding more features. Your input and patience will help.

Thank you!

The Premiere Season Choice of Colors

I get the \”Green Grass, Blue Sky, Silver Innovation\” color thing.

But did the league really have to base the premiere season uniform colors based on them?

Let's see…sky blue…not exactly a masculine color. Only UCLA gets away with having powder blue, and we won't even talk about how they fare in football.

The Green Grass? Try shades closer to Philadephia Eagles Or Green Bay Packers Green instead. Grass Green is a little to poofy for football.

Oh well, it's too late. The uniforms have been showed and ordered. We are stuck until next year.
