Droozer taking over Memphis

It looks like Droozer is taking over the Memphis Kings Franchise. He said that the team may be relocated to Columbus, Ohio. The relocation of the team has been approved by league commission(approved by me). So Droozer you just need to decide if you are moving, preferably as soon as possible, so we can work on getting you a logo package and uniforms way before the season.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so as I said in the last post, MBurmy never checked in, and he has never really been that active except he did make some big changes to the team's roster last off-season. I have no problem with Burmy but I do think we need someone who will pay more attention. So this means we need a new owner for the Memphis Kings Franchise, and obviously I would say Droozer and Brian (The Barrish) are the first two we would ask to take over a team.

So if you guys would like the team just comment and let us know any extra info, like stuff you would be willing to do for the league, or if you want to move the team, where would you move them? etc.

If we have more then 2 or 3 people apply then we will most likely have a vote between the owners.

Memphis is a very good franchise to take over, surprisingly they probably have the best statistical defense in the league. And they had the most Defensive All-Stars on the East team this year, the Offense is good but it could probably use a makeover considering the runningbacks haven't been that great and Graham Harrell has just been kind of a mediocre player.

Uniforms and other News!

Okay so everyone has checked in except Burmy, and I think it is safe to say that most people rather replace him anyways. Burmy has been an entertaining owner at some points but he doesn't ever check and I think we just need to have a more lively owner. I think everyone else is okay, but Throwback if you want to stay in the league you need to become more active or you may go out like Burmy.

Now one of the big changes this season is the move to Nike, Nike has taken over the Pro Football World, first they signed a deal with us and now they have signed a deal with the NFL. This year Nike will be giving all 10 Minor League Football teams new uniform cuts and a Pro Combat Alternate Uniform that will be worn in place during a Promotional Uniform Week. This season TC will be placing all of the uniforms on a Style Guide, and we have put together a Uniform history that he is going to start working on and posting to the site soon. This year to get everyone a little bit more involved we are going to have a Combo Schedule, which tells what combos you are going to wear each week. Also if you are getting new uniforms make sure you use 2 helmets, up to 4 jerseys (2 colored, 2 white) and 2 pants. If you want to add a throwback set you can, just make sure to tell me what week you want to wear it so I can change the teambuilder team. Alright I'm going to post the 10 teams, and I may post ideas I have for possible changes but you don't have to listen to them if you don't want haha.

Alabama - New Uniforms this season! I'm not unveiling them to everyone until TC gets done with the style guide.

Boise - New green jerseys in the style of their Away Uniforms, the green jerseys will also be the Home jerseys for this season. Also, tan Uniforms will be made as a alternate in place of brown this year. They are also replacing the tan pants with brown.

Connecticut - I like Throwback's classic uniforms, but I think he should switch his current Anchor Logo with TC's Retro logo, I'm sure he could swap the gold and yellow and use that logo on your current uniform set.

Las Vegas - Mykl has confirmed the Aces are getting new uniforms this season.

Lincoln - Bmac said that there will be minor changes to uniforms.

Louisville - The Shockers will most likely be getting new Nike Styled Uniforms.

Hawaii - New Nike Uniforms in the works, Retro Uniforms will be returning as Alternates this year.

Memphis - It would be nice to seperate them from Quebec, who knows with a new owner they may be rebranding.

Quebec - TC has confirmed new uniforms.

San Antonio - New Helmets with "Glow in the Dark" Flakes added into paint.

Offseason Discussion!

So as this Season 3's come to a close, I'd say that overall the year was a success, especially compared to last year. What we've learned this year is that it's very hard to sim games when any of us are in school, but that when it's during the summer, we generally can do this well. Some things to think about and some reasoning too.

-Expansion?

Not happening. :P

-Spring Football? Reducing Games?

What we learned this year is that the beginning of the school year is a hectic time for all of us. Which means that we need to be aiming for the season to be over by the middle of August. Which leaves us with two options, starting the season in April or May, or reducing the season to 8 games. If we'd go with April and May games, I'd aim for each week to be a total of 2 weeks, so that we could spread out the simming over two weeks. Alternatively, we could cut back to 8 weeks on the season if we started in June.

-Extra Simmer?

Also, it'd be nice to find someone else who can sim these games for us, as a lot of what holds us up sometimes is my busy sports and travel schedule. I'm out of town a lot, and it shows in how we can miss a week. Additionally, if we get a 3rd simmer, each of us would only have to do 2 games a week, which would be really nice.

-Also, I'll go ahead and make this a check-in. So we know that you're still committed to the MLF, I'd like to hear responses from all 9 other owners with your thoughts on the above things, and with your own "reforms" that you'd do. We'll probably hold a vote on these things in the next coming month, and anyone who doesn't vote on that will be deemed as a "dead owner" and will likely be replaced.
