A New Look at Destroyers Football

While the free trial may force us to pay, I wan't to try to do this manually. But that may be a ways off. So I stuck to jerseys for now.



While the navy and silver were predominant, I felt the need to showcase the highlights as well. As expected, the homes became navy but with focus on the red and powder. The socks are the only constant thing with the uniforms.


The roads are just that - opposites of the home. Navy is replaced with white on the chest and powder to navy on the pants (hence the striping and number outline had to follow suit.


 The alternates see a removal of the silver except for the arm cuffs on the red alternate. The blue alternate borrows the pants from the road kit; the red does the same except it requires a blue belt. Unlike the home and road kit, the helmets are not navy. I didn't favor the old white helmets we used to have for-though they were better than some other ones in that era of the AFL.



One thing to take note of, the sleeves are too small for TV numbers so they have not been included. Otherwise, these are eye-popping concepts. Yeah they aren't anything special or creative, but the utilization of flamboyancy is the key as it attracts attention. Imagine if the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins added red to their blue jerseys . . .

Well, have fun for tomorrow will showcase more Aussie FL jumpers as the 2013 preseason jumpers will be featured for the first preliminary final.

I really like the first set. The navy jerseys and socks look sweet with light blue pants.

Buffalo was supposed to get an af2 (minor league arena football; abbreviated in lowercase) team, but when the AFL folded, they encouraged the af2 to continue, it subsequently folded after one season just before the new league Arena Football 1 (league name) purchased all assets of the original AFL thus absorbing the identity.

The Buffalo team was to be owned by a group including Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and the owner of Rochester's CIFL team. but we were within months away of joining before the af2 folded.
