Retro Week Unveiling Extravaganza!

Hello and welcome to the MLF Retro Week Uniform Unveiling Extravaganza! So far only 3 of 10 teams have unveiled their uniforms, but now the remaining 7 will unveil their Retro Week uniforms in one mega-post.

Alabama Gladiators: Alabama owner and commish Big Mike wanted to combine elements of Alabama's two major football colleges for his team's Retro Week uniforms, the University of Alabama and Auburn. Not much else to explain here. Moving on...

Lincoln Pioneers: Before moving to Lincoln, the franchise was known as the Albuquerque 47s who made the MLF Championship in their one and only year of existence. This set pays homage to the team with the loudest color scheme in MLF history. Big Mike came up with the idea for these uniforms, basing them off of these old Steelers uniforms.

Boise Grizzlies: The Boise Grizzlies decided to use the Retro Week uniforms they wore in season one, and they were originally designed by Aces owner Michael Taylor.

Connecticut Navy: The Navy are participating in their first Retro Week. They will be wearing these uniforms that were a collaboration between Big Mike and TC. The sleeve stripes are a stylized version of those found on some actual Navy uniforms.

Louisville Shockers: Admittedly, these were the hardest to design. The primary logo is the shape of a lightning bolt that also contains the letters "LS". The uniforms are supposed to resemble the style of uniforms many teams had in the 1980's, with an old school Chargers twist.
Memphis Kings: In the first season of MLF, the Kings were a road team for Retro Week, sporting white jerseys and light blue pants. This season they are a home team. These are the same uniforms they wore back in season one, but they are the home version.
San Antonio Nightmare: The Nightmare will be wearing their season one uniforms, my personal favorites from all the uniforms worn that season. Even the ol' nosebleed horse will be rearing its ugly head again for Retro Week. I had to take some creative license to recreate the uniform on this template, but it is basically the same uniform.


That wraps up the unveilings! If you want changes to your team's uniforms please let me know before noon on Sunday, as I will be gone all next week.

Awesome job on all of these TC! I love the Louisville jersey.

Change the white pants to blue, and you got it for the Nightmare.

Kevin said...

Also that primary for Connecticut is better than the one they use now.

TC said...

Changed the Nightmare, I think those are the right pants.

Michael said...

Kevin says the pants stripe should be navy, not grey.
