WHAT DO YOU THINK
 

COACHES,


What does everyone think about creating there OWN MINIATUREFOOTBALL TEAM . This is for ALL coaches who have not done so .
Football is still going to be football. So who said we had to play with NFL teams AND COLLEGE TEAMS. The MFCA can create an entire new empire if coaches took the time and created a team in there eyes.The reason NFL and college teams are chosen is because that is who and what we see on tv all the time. Of course we are all big fans of the NFL and would like to play with there teams, but we can become creative in making our own. I have five different mantaray's teams i made from scratch. I alway's had the vision to make them because i wanted a team to call my own.


all that is needed is for you to come up with a city of your choice and a catchy name and logo. Once you have settled on a name, you can work with wolf on designing a logo. once that is done, wolf or your self can send that logo to a decal maker to shrink down and create helmet logos. THE ENTIRE COLOR SCHEME OF YOUR TEAM IS ENTIRLEY UP TO YOU. Just make it like no other team in history.

looking for a team name, look int animals, birds, cars. Anything that is catchy and will match the name of the city of choice. For instance, if you live in michigan, you can try the "flynt ----------" and team name of choice. there may be something in flynt michigan that is popular in that city we are unaware of.


ofcourse you can still play your nfl teams but lets create an entire new way of football life here on the chatboard. Besides, would'nt you feel a sence of accomplisment creating something in your own eyes that is soley yours.
100 coaches on this chatboard can be the dallas cowboys. But you will be the only one with the team you have created. DONT USE ANY OF THE CITIES THE NFL HAS ALREADY TAKEN. USE ANOTHER CITY IN THAT STATE.


Believe it or not, the hardest part doing all of this was finding the right color combination. You see at least 20 you really like. as far as names on the jerseys, USE FRIENDS , FAMILY, ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO WOULD FIT YOUR TEAM. ****ALWAYS MAKE YOURSELF THE QB OR YOUR FAVORITE POSITION ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. Just make two seperate figures.


***we never had to rely on the nfl or college to make a team !!!!!!!


thanx

This is what the NHFL is all about

I like it
 

I have always thought about doing this. You have helped me today.ppls$ I am starting my own team and they will me the Sacramento Mammoths. The team colors will be marroon,brown, old gold, and yellow!



Jeff

K-Lo,

I'm in. This was suggested on Reggies post. These teams could be used in all leagues and tournaments as long as everyone in that league and tourney agrees on it. I will start. Mike these would be MFCA's teams.
Anthony DeJohn-New Castle HiTMEN-BLACK AND WHITE
Nico DeJohn-Mahoningtown Maulers-ORANGE AND NAVY BLUE

Dayton Triangles
 

I happen to live in a city with one of the oldest NFL teams... They played at Triangle Park near my home before they moved out of town.

The team isn't licensed or owned by anyone... fair game!

I would love to call dibs on the Dayton Triangles...thmbsp$

I'm In!!!ltsplbll ltsplbll ltsplbll ltsplbll ltsplbll

Been there,......... done that, .......
 

...............still there, ............it's called the NHFL....and what's really perplexing is many of you act like this is some new idea.....

George,

These would be MFCA's teams to be used in tournaments or leagues if allowed. This has nothing to do with a particular league.

this has niothing to do wiuth the national high voltage league.
 

CANT ANYBODY CREATE A POST WITHOUT SOMEBODY COMING ON HERE TELLING US WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE DONE.



THIS IS STRICTLY FOR COACHES WHO WANT TO CREATE THERE OWN TEAM AND HAVE NOT DONE SO AS OF YET. THIS IS NOT ABOUT WANTING TO BE A PART OF THE NATIONAL HIGH VOLTAGE LEAGUE. LET THE COACHES WHO WANT TO MAKE THERE OWN TEAMS HAVE THERE DAY.

ITS NO NEED TO REMIND THE WORLD WHAT IS ALREADY OUT THERE. WE ARE FULLY AWARE OF WHO HAS WHAT AND WHO HAS ACCOMPLISHED WHAT.

IF THE POST INSPIRES COACHES TO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND BRANCH OUT INTO DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NOT STAY STATUS QUO, DO NOT COME ON HERE AND RAIN ON THERE PARADE. IF COACHES WANTED TO JOIN THE NATIONAL HIGH VOLTAGE LEAGUE THEY WOULD HAVE DONE SO 5 YEARS AGO.

SO TO THEM, THIS IS SOMETHING NEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GENTLEMEN, ENJOY MAKING YOUR NEW TEAMS


THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOBODYS LEAGUE

These teams could also be used by OUR business members to post on their web-sites instead of NFL or NCAA teams.

I agree
 

Why do people post neg comments?Why? We are just having fun with it!!!!!!!!!!!

own names
 

great suggestion, whether or not its been mentioned before, yet giving credit to the originators. Nevertheless, we move on. The suggestion is great once again. when we, as adults start thinking outside the box-NFL, other professional teams, etc. we graduate into adulthood, independent thinking, elevation of oneself....The professional teams should be glad that we would even consider using their logos, etc. without the customers, what business entity would exist? Just a thought. I am going to start tonight working on my own team and if GOD willing, i make it to Canton, they will be seen there.ltsplbll ltsplbll ltsplbll

Feel the same way, Creasy(BTW, loved the movie)
 

:rnt;
The NFL and the NCAA ought to consider this free advertising. In fact, with the creativity and design in this "fantasy" game, they chould invest in this endeavor just as in things like the Madden game. As some have mentioned, this can be a great teaching tool for young prospective fans, much more effective than the X-box games. There is also another underlying attraction to this game. With the world going crazy and out of control, this game presents a great opportunity to "take control", as you can be as involved in practically every aspect of this game as you desire. From the tweaking of the bases to the customizing of the figures, from the designing of gameboards and to coaching, with all the other innovations that have raised the level of realism that make it more interesting as well as just plain fun.

Yo Creasy! My sentiments exactly.ppls$

Dre', I've been pondering a similar idea for a while and just recently more and more. So far, I have decided on calling my team the MFCA Silver Surfers. My plan, also, was to unveil them at the MFCA Convention this year. Naturally, they would compete in the MFCA Points Challenge. We'll see. For now, it's just a thought.

"K.I.P."

GLAD TO SEE SOME ARE INSPIRED.
 

COACHES,

Im happy some of you are inspired to venture out and create your own team. It will definetly feel alot more personal to you. Especiaally if you do what i have by using chilfdhood friends as the players on my team. We use to play football from sun up to sun down and seeing there names on the back of a figures jersey makes me feel as if we were all togetherplaying from sun up to sun down. Its a tribute to all of your friends from the past.

I like that adrian is calling his team the M.F.C.A. SILVER SURFERS, In fact, if you have coaches on this chatboard you really like, they could make your team. Imagine something like, BIG KEITH as your left guard. If you cant find a logo for any of your teams, you can do what UCLA, TULSA, TEXAS, TEXAS A & M. Just use the team name and have a decal made of that. Use script or any fancy lettering combo you can think of.

Like i said before, the hardest part of this, but the most fun is choosing the color patteren you want for your team. I spent hours in michaels holding up different paint bottles seeing what would look the best. once you think you have it, you feel there is a better color combo out there. So yo go back to michaels and do it all over again. This went on for 4 months.

You must develop the mindset that you are a billionaire and you just got the go ahead to create your own football team for that city. Once again, if you live in texas, DO NOT use Dallas, If you live in michigan, DO NOT use detroit. Use flynt, grand rapids or the area of your choice.

When you start from scratch, it's pretty cool to see the final product because it is what came from your mind and yours. Imagine you brought land somewhere and you sat down with an architect and told them exactly how you want the house built room after room. Once you move in,wouldn't you sense a level of accomplishment while going throughout because you know you designed it. The architect drew up the plans, the builders built it, BUT YOU DESIGNED IT !!!

THANX

WHY CANT YOU
 

COACHES,


Why cant you create a team THAT YOU WILL LOVE AND RESPECT like an NFL team that you love and respect. Whats the difference, because they are on T.V. CALL YOUR FAVORITE NFL TEAM and ask them can you come down and hang out with them while they practice(on a regular basis). Or can you sit on the bench or walk the sidelines with them during a playoff game. Dont get me wrong, i love the NFL more than anyone else. But when you have the means and desire to do something for you. Why not take advantage of it. A philosopher once said, "WHEN YOU CREATE ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF, MAKE IT EXTRA SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS JUST FOR YOU". Sometimes you can get caught up in someones else's world, and forget your here also.


thanx
mantaraydre

ps/what i meant by means are the figures at your disposal and paint galore in michaels or other craft stores. DO NOT START ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE 1 TRILLION PERCENT SURE THIS IS IT, THIS IS MY CREATION. Like tony soprano said, "Once your in, aint no gettin out".

***I would go to the paint store when possible and mill around thinking of some possibilities. I OPEN EVERY PAINT BOTTLE IN THE STORE TO GET THE FULL EFFECT. You cant tell just by looking on the outside of the bottle. !!

Dre,

Why dont we start a thread with members listing their MFCA Teams.

There is the entire NHFL League which for saw this a while back and everybody plays with fantasy teams. This is why the Kansas City Super Sumos came into existence and since then my team, "Rare". Rare has no city and you should never say, "the" Rare. They are just...Rare.

I am intrigued with the idea of a fantasy team for each MFCA member as a registered entity under the MFCA (sort of like the NCAA is to the college teams). It is going to require a little research but this could be a fun thing to develop and do it for fun. This would not be done to take away from any already established league such as the NHFL, but it could possibly enhance what they already have and could even develop into something more.

Right now, it is just a light turned on in my brain and with some more thought could turn into a full chandalier.

Wolf,

The idea was to create a fantasy team by the MFCA members not to be associated for or with a league but for the MFCA. Our business members dont have a way to show their products all painted up and ready to play. In my opinion these fantasy teams can be displayed on our business members web-sites.

This sounds like a phone conversation as there seems to be a number of different thoughts on what this is.

Some of our business members are not known for their painting abilities. We currently only have 6 official business members and only 1 of them is known specifically for their painting.

Maybe, I am not getting what this about.

I SEE WHERE ADRIAN AND WOLF ARE GOING
 

wolf, I personally think this would be an incredible idea to have MFCA teams under the MFCA BANNER. This would also include THE NATIONAL HIGH VOLTAGE LEAGUE being they were first to showcase this idea. For instance, next to ecery members name would be there fantasy team and a little history on how that team came about. example

1)MFCA SILVER SURFERS (OWNER ADRIAN BAXTER) MEMBER #

2)MFCA MALIBU MANTARAY'S (OWNER ANDRE COGDELL) MEMBER #

3)MFCA KANSAS CITY SUPER SUMOS (OWNER LYNN SCHMIDT) PRESIDENT

4)MFCA NEW CASTLE HITMEN (OWNER, NEED NAME) MEMEBER #

5)MFCA MAHONINGTOWN MAULERS (OWNER, NEED NAME)MEMBER #

6) MFCA BLOODBOUGHT KINSMEN (OWNER, NEED NAME) MEMBER #

AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.**** IF YOU WANT TO USE A CITY, USE A CITY. IF NOT JUST CALL IT THE MFCA -------.

**New teams being created should check the list to make sure a name they have in mind is not already taken.

This can be very promising on all ends. Everyone just has to sit down and create one team and we will have 200 plus.

*** I AM SORT OF CONFUSED ON THE BUSINESS ASPECT OF THIS. NEED A LITTLE MORE INFO .

*** MY THOUGHTS WERE EVERYONE CREATE THERE OWN TEAM.
Register it under the MFCA umbrella. From there, we can do all sorts of things leading up to the 2010 convention. BUT EVERYONE MUST BE INTERESTED IN CREATING THERE OWN TEAM.

***If you dont want to create a logo, you can go the alabama route and just stick a number on the sides of the helmet. JUST BE COLOR CREATIVE.

IN HORSE RACING, The owners can create any name for a horse they have as long as it is respectable and does not harm anyone olr any entity in anyway.

im in hope more and more coaches will embrace this idea.

THANX
MANTARAYDRE

Im am in with whatever everybody decides. My idea was for business members to showcase their products with MFCA Teams on their web-sites instead of NFL or NCAA teams.

WEEK LONG MFCA TOURNEY 2010
 

WOLF,

After we see how things go in august, can you keep in tyhe back of your mind a week long tourney with only MFCA REGISTERD teams in 2010.
Before the 2010 tourney, we can create something around the country leading to that date. just some thoughts on PERSONALIZED TEAMS and what can be accomplished with them.


THANX
mantaraydre

Dre
 

We need a staff for a one week tourney...are you volunteering to do all the work? I for one don't have that option.

THE RIGHT NOW !!
 

RIGHT NOW,

The main objection is to get everyone interested in creating there own teams. After that there a many options to utilize that team. Whether it's a week convention or a week end (does not matter). We can do some things. A week long convention was not really the main focus here. Just throiugh that out there as a possibility. Im quite sure if there was a week long convention, members would sign up to help out in all areas.

thanx

Team name?
 

The name I have chosen is one that I've used in a fantasy baseball league. The Bloodbought Kinsmen. As for colors, I'm pretty sure one of
them will be red:D . I'm tinkering with the idea of bronze in there somewhere, possibly even the shoes. From a biblical standpoint, every time you see bronze in the scriptures, it refers to judgment. But I can't recall
any team I've ever seen that has used this color

Well, you know where I'm at when it comes to making up teams...;) I already have my 8 team fantasy league , and another 8 to add to it when I'm finished with this season, but I figure I can join the frey for the MFCA. So, here it comes. Straight from Cairo, Egypt, decked out in their gold and turquois with crimson and black trim...... the Cairo Ra. Yes, the Eqyptian Sun God lives!!! I can hear the chants now "Sis boom bah, Cai-ro Ra!" :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: :chr: thmbsp$ ppls$


Whatcha gonna do, when the eye of Ra beams down on you????

I recommend that this idea be used in as many leagues as possible. Let's use this as a statement against the NFL and NCAA licensing policies. We still enjoy our game.....maybe more than ever, since we get to be extra creative here! The NFL and NCAA get snubbed. It doesn't hurt them much....but every little bit means something when money is tight. No more free publicity for them this way either. I hate having to go this route, but it makes sense for us. So next year....the CBSMF might have a new name....but still will run the same. Better yet, nobody will be running the same team....all of them will be original and distinct.

REMEMBER, CREATE A TEAM YOUR PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING !!
 

COACHES,

Remember to create this team as thee end all be all. make sure it is a team you can get behind and become very passionate about. Just as if someone is crazy about the cowboys, create that atomshpere for yourself. We are all going to keep playing with and making our NFL and college team But for the MFCA, make just one ultimate unique team that is soley yours. This has sparked in interest in coaches to want to do this. How could you not want to do something that will be yours. Im in hope that half the MFCA population would adopt the move and then we can do some things that will be talked about later. I know of some heavy hitters who know how to set things up .

This is fun because you should see the joy/fun people have in the fantasy football leagues here in new york thinking of a name for the teams. THIS IS WHY I SAY MAKE SURE YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT ABOUTT THE PROCESS BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION ON A NAME AND TEAM COLORS. When you walk in a room and someone is not sure who you are. You can be identified as oh, that's the coach who play with the (team name). If you make up any ole name just to hurry up and do it, you will end up changing the name several time. MAKE SURE IT IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY SAY'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU AND WHAT YOU REALLY LIKE.

Everyone is different, you can be crazy about cars, motorbikes, place you visited on vacation that sticks with you. For those who were in the military you can find many things there like a certain squadron or area youwere a part of. You can dedicate a team to you mother,father,grandfather and kids. AS LONG AS IT IS A COOL NAME THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU, YOU WILL GET BEHIND IT ANND ENJOY. I have a guy at work who named his fantasy football team "THE 3 MONSTERS" . He has 3 young daughters who he said run around terrorizing the house all day so he says those little monsters. So his team name came about from the love of his 3 kids. But you get the idea.

Sounds like sour grapes because you don't have a cool music video for your team. :nhnh: :nhnh: :nhnh:

Here's the inspiration for my team:



Needless to say, I'm going to have some HOT looking cheerleaders. Susanna Hoffs ROCKS!

And here's another video with some nifty ideas for the teams uniforms:

My team is the Castaic Storm. I might need to change the city name if we determine that is some sort of copyright or possible tax issue should some political hack decide to make it so.

Elk Grove Red Rhinos
 

I will start this team soon and post my progress on the team locker room side.ltsplbll
