| Comments: | Just saw an NFL Films piece on the WFL shown on Classic Sports Network. I remember the colored pants fiasco attempted by the WFL to show the fans the position players. Pastel colors with vertical stripes. Large colored stars for the quaterbacks. Some of the players were embarrassed to wear them. Thank goodness the league never used them. Thank you for the site. Sometimes it seems that I am the only person who remembers the league. |

| Comments: | Brings back memories. I remember watching WFL games, I believe, on the syndicated "TVS" sports television network. As I recall, they were shown on our local Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania NBC affiliate. The Fire, the Wheels, the Americans and the Bell, among others! Czonka, Kick and Warfield! It was real football. I'm convinced that if properly organized and managed, a professional Spring/Summer league can be successful. People are football starved a month after the Super Bowl and this would fill the void. The point isn't to compete with the NFL, it's to offer REAL outdoor football, in the U.S., with skilled players. There are more than enough college and former pro players, referees, coaches, broadcasters, etc., who would get on board. Build it right and the fans will come and the fans will come back. No nonsense---we don't need another XFL---just REAL football, with most of the NFL rules in place and maybe just a few experiments. Good old fashioned uniforms, not glitzy garbage. Hard nosed players. It will work! |

| Comments: | I was the Secretary to the Chicago Fire coaching staff. It was such fun to be associated with them. I often wonder what happened to Jim Spavitol (head coach) and the rest of the coaches. |

| Comments: | My name is ken Robinson, founder of InterNATIONAL FOOTBALL SCOUTING. I work with several NFL/CFL agents most of whom are full time attorneys. I handle all the scouting, marketing, research & consultation with pro teams & players for them.Me and some collegues have for years kicked around the idea of bringing back the old USFL and implementing the original plan: $20-$50K salary cap, non compete with NFL(hope to eventually have a 32 team minor league feeder system with NFL) like a AAA or AA MLB team, cable contract with USA or Comcast,play in spring up until NFL training camp.There needs to be a viable outdoor football option for the fans.If we avg even 10 k(USFL avg 24k) fans/gm @ $20/ticket=$200k per home game X 8 home games = 1.6m + 1/2 road gate = 800 k = 2.4 mil. Salary avg 35k x 40 roster=1.4 mil, not to mention concessions & parking +TV( which we feel confident one of the cable networks would do to sell advertising) We just wanted to put out some feelers to see who would be interested in helping to put some of the plan in place.Call 480-545-1256 or email me if you are interested or even just to chat about the old USFL days.

| Comments: | Hi There: Great to discover this site. I remember the WFL very well. I have all home game programs of the short lived New York Stars. I had hoped the WFL would be as successful as the AFL, but things didn't quite work out that way. Best regards |

| Comments: | Hi! I was looking up information on the 1974 World Football League and
found this site. I have 3 sets of sticker sheets from the WFL and was wondering
who they were and if these stickers have any value. Please don't take this
as I am trying to sell them on your guest book, just wondering if they are
worth something, so I (or should I say more importantly my wife) does not
throw them away. The sticker sheets depict 12 teams, with each sticker being 2" across. The teams are : Philadelphia Bell Florida Blazers Southern California Sun Houston Texans New York Stars Memphis Southmen Chicago Fire Birmingham Americans The Hawaiians Jacksonville Sharks Portland Storm Detroit Wheels Across the top of the sheet it says "run on a webtron 650- print '74 show (then a W symbol) plates by graphinettes corp. glassmaster division". The back of the sheets say " Mactac Morgan Adhesive Company 4560 Darrow Road, Stow, Ohio" I was just trying to find information to see if they were worth anything. I got them when I was in high school in Toledo, Ohio. After searching around the web, I think they might be a little rare as I could not find anything about them. Thanks for the very cool site and historical information about the WFL! Doug |

| Comments: | My husband is an avid fan of the WFL, a member of the PFRA, and has a room in our house dedicated to the WFL. I even agree to watch ESPN Classics with him. We especially get a kick out of the King Corcoran. Keep up the good work with the website! |
