UFL team names revealed. (Vol. Mad corny...)

If the speculation and research is true, then the new Orlando franchise in the United Football League will be called the Tuskers.

The new names were first discovered by Mark Nelson of uflfansite.com.

Upon searching the U.S. Government Trademark Search Engine, sure enough, trademark applications have been made by the UFL for the Orlando Tuskers, San Francisco Rockfish, Las Vegas Locomotives and the New York Sentinels.


Sentinels could be kind of dope...

...but the rest of this @@#*? Rockfish? Tuskers? The !**# is a "tusker"?

So, just what is a Tusker? Glad you asked.

A Tusker is a wild boar, many of which roam wild throughout the everglades and the state of Florida. Apparently the league did extensive historical research to come up with the names.

The league, which has also registered domain names for the teams, was set to unveil the team names, uniforms and logos in August.


I can't wait for that...

Can't wait for the Team Rockfish sigs to start popping up, too...

Great, we're Rockfishes.

Las Vegas Locomotives? Is there a story to these or what?

 

[craftsy21]

I'm kinda rooting for the UFL - I think it could be decent if they do it correctly.

I'm glad NY has the best name.

@ RockFish!

 

[lazy b]

Las Vegas Locomotives?

I guess anything to get away from the seedy image of the city. I would have gone with Desperados myself.

Rock fish?

I would have gone with the Las Vegas Gamblers handsdown!

 

[yoda]

Rockfish?

I catch these on my boat...they don't even have teeth

 

[sooperhooper]

Let's not act like Lakers, Pacers, Jazz and Bills are the coolest names

 

[sir rob a lot]

^^^Jazz is a dope name. Just in the wrong city right now. (I know they used to be in the NO)

 

[CP1708]

That's Vegas Loco's for short.

On some blood in blood out tip

 

[emkay]

Other than Locomotives (

), they're decent names.

 

[big j 33]

Tuskers

I'm from Orlando and that's probably the best name they're going to come up with

 

[greenbean]

for Orlando they could have done....

the diamondbacks
the ospreys (type of sea hawk)
the bobcats
the storm
the thunder

maybe even the everglades

 

[nikeholic23]

I'm rooting for the UFL, too. I just bought season tickets.

At least they're 50-yard line and first two rows...

 

[aastatic]

Just wondering where is the Rockfish bouta play in SF?
