Up next, let's meet the seventh franchise to be granted:
The Cleveland Cardinals.
After a forgettable 1948 campaign, the team would change its name to the Mad Hatters. This change was made because team owner Bruno Scarfiotti was labeled "Mad as a hatter" by the Cleveland Plain-Dealer when he...
Let's meet the sixth member of the league, the Chicago Gaels, who will play their home games at Soldier Field.
While I have a moment, let's take a look at the initial alignment for 1948.
Please note, this is subject to change if you have any suggestions.

The navy blue jersey will still be the primary for the Lakers. The white jersey proved unpopular with the players during training camp. So instead, a Columbia blue jersey will serve as a "clash" jersey when playing against another navy blue team.
The second franchise to enter the IAL were the Detroit Roadsters, who will play their home games at Briggs Stadium, home to the MLB Tigers and NFL Lions.
The IAL (pronounced "Isle") will begin with ten teams in 1948. The first of these teams to be granted were the Philadelphia Spirits.
Home games will be split between Shibe Park and Franklin Field.
Here's some rough name ideas I have for the upcoming league:
National Austus League (NAL) (Pronunciation "Nail"?)
United Austus League (UAL)
American Austus League (AAL)
Continental Austus League (CAL)
Elite Austus League (EAL) (Pronounced like "eel")
Major Austus League (MAL) ("Maul"?)

The Second Austus Test Game was held almost a year later in Los Angeles. In fact, the second proved more successful than the first in terms of attracting the sponsors necessary to support forming a league in time for a 1948 ball-up. Within months, General Electric, Firestone and Pepsi-Cola each...
Once upon a time, the game of Austus was played during World War II, combining the best elements of American and Australian rules football. But of course, after the war ended, the game pretty much faded into obscurity.
But just imagine for a moment....
What if someone was bold enough to keep...
On the Footy Jumpers and Graphic Design board, I wanna create a fictional Austus league that takes place in North America. It'll be based on the gridiron/Aussie rules hybrid of the same name that was played during World War II.
Here are some rough ideas I have.

Not sure if I want a...
Hello from Southern California (San Diego to be more specific).
I first heard of Aussie Rules in a book I got for Christmas as a kid called Rules of the Game.
I picked the Demons as my AFL team because I heard that's whom Darren Bennett played for before he came to the US to play in the NFL...
