Report

Professional Gridiron Teams have used a variety of team names since the Watertown Red and Black appeared in the World Series of Professional Football (1902-1903). Watertown are still in existence, but the New Jersey teams choice of a color name is rare in Professional Football – only the Cleveland Browns (NFL) and Ottawa REDBLACKS (CFL) employ such names other than Watertown.

By far the most popular names are Animals and Humans. Animals were employed first in the NFL (National Football League, USA) by Chicago Cardinals in 1920, and subsequently by teams such as the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and others down to the present day where the newest Professional Franchise, Galgos Tijuana of the Liga Football Americano (Mexico), which translates as Greyhounds.

Human names for teams have been employed since the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian football League made an appearance in 1873. The Green Bay Packers were sponsored by the ACME Packing company in Wisconsin in 1919 (they joined the NFL in 1921). Popular variations on warfaring people (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders) have appeared since along with working-class jobs (Houston Oilers, Pittsburgh Steelers) and names for Native (Indigenous) people (Washington Redskins, Edmonton Eskimos, Mexicas CDMX, Mayas).

Less popular so far are Mechanical names, such as the names of vehicles (Winnipeg Blue Bombers, New York Jets, Atlantic Schooners) and the Computer at the Headquarters of IBM: Big Blue. Also less popular so far are Geographical names and the names and the names of Natural Phenomena. so far we have Los Angeles Chargers, Berlin Thunder, Frankfurt Galaxy, Stuttgart Surge, Rhein Fire, Fujitsu Frontiers and Nojima Sagamihara Rise (Suunrise). Then there are Creative Names (Panasonic Impulse and Elecom Kobe Finies) and the Names of Cryptozoological Creatues or Gods whose existence evidence has not been found yet: Barcelona Dragons, Hamburg Sea Devils and Tokyo Gas Creators.

Egyptian Numbers and Meaning and their links to AFL-era NFL teams of 1960s.

Report

The possibility that the NFL (National Football League) has been re-tracing Human History is explored here. The earliest Human Civilization: Sumer in Ancient Iraq, had for instance a Bird symbol as its first, correlating to the Cardinals, the first NFL team. The Reed is the second Pictograph (Symbol) and could correspond to the Watertown Red & Blacks of New Jersey (the Garden State) who played in first World Series of Professional Football in 1902 to 1903. Other links are the eighth Pictograph, meaning Mountain or Foreign Land, corresponding to the Pittsburgh Steelers, based in Coal-Mining region of the Appalachian Mountains in Western Pennsylvania. San Francisco 49ers are represented by the 11th Pictograph, representing Water or stream, which correlates with the Goldrush of 1849 with the Prospectors mining for gold in streams. Philadelphia Eagles, the ninth team including the Watertown Red & Blacks could be represented by the ninth symbol in Ancient Sumer: I, an eye or to look. Eagle-Eyed is an expression used to describe a person who can pick out fine detail.

The Second Civilization, Ancient Egypt includes a five-point star for the number five, corresponding to the Dallas Cowboys and their Lone Star State logo. Other representations include the number one represented by a harpoon, sun and moon, which could be linked to the Kansas City Chiefs and their Arrowhead logo. Number seven is represented by a Human Head, which links well with the Vikings and their use of decapitated heads placed in defensive walls to warn off invaders. The God Horus was the first added to the original nine deities of the city of Heliopolis and thus represents the number 10. He is often represented by the Falcon.

Report

Starting with the World League of American Football in 1991 to 1992, which continued from 1995 to 2007 as a Europe-Only Development League of the National Football League, there has been numerous attempts at starting a Professional American Football League outside North America. From 1993 to 1995 European American Football teams started their ownn Pro League, which ended after the NFL restarted the WLAF in 1995. In 2012 former NFL coaches and players started the Elite Football League of India, and in 2019, teams in Poland, Lithuania, Russia and Belrus started the European Super League. Emmett Waldron, who was born in Cork, played for the Scottish Claymores in the WLAF / NFL Europe League from 1995 to 1998.

As well as attempts to start leagues outside North America, there has been attemptsat starting a rival league to the NFL, with the first such attempt since the USFL of the 1980s, being the Canadian Football League’s attempts to start a United States Divison which lasted from 1993 to 1995.A four-team Spring League was played in 2000 but failed due to the start of the XFL in 2001, which failed also, due this time to its product been seen as too different from standard American Football. From 2009 to 2011 the United Football League played as an NFL Development League and from 2011 to 2013 (Stars Football League), 2014 to 2015 (Fall Experimental Football League) and 2017-2020 (The Spring League) attempts were made to play a Pro League in just one locality. Major Pro Leagues returned in 2019 with the Alliance of American Football, which went bankruot after 8 weeks, and the XFL 2020, which lasted five weeks but shut down due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic.
