I am underwhelmed at what I saw.

I was flipping back and forth between NCAA and UFL games and I thought the level of competition was better in the NCAA.

If I understand the UFL correctly, these are men who played college ball, and were drafted by or played in the pros.  It didn’t look like it.

And what’s with this “no blitzing up the middle” rule?  Why don’t you just add a “3 hippopotamus count” instead?

If the UFL wants to be taken seriously, they are going to have to adopt the same rules as the NFL and get rid of those uniforms.

What did you think?

The California Redwoods play the Las Vegas Locomotives tonight, October 08, 2009 at 6:00PM PST.  Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada is the battleground.

For  those of you with Cable/Satellite, the game will be televised on Versus  .

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?

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

It should. Stay tuned!

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!

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.
