[font="Courier New"]I went to CFL website and found-out they are still called Montreal Alouettes; maybe I miss understand what you mean. I am thinking the way the colors are involved in the uniforms is the problem. Heck, Buffalo Bills use the same colors. Are they throwback uniforms?

I am assuming you did the uniforms right.[/font]

[Gman1025]

They went bankrupt after '82 and changed to the Concordes. Changed back to similer uni's to this in '86 and folded.

When the CFL expansion to the US didn't work. The Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal to become the Alouettes.

[font="Courier New"]DONMVP,

Looks like you are right.

Gman1025,

Yeah, I just double checked and read that. Boy you guys sure take it serious.

I guess we look at things differently when it comes to that; I look at Franchise in a city are the city's Franchise, no matter who own's them. That is why I love what Green Bay did.

Also the reason I dislike media outlets who survive on Franchise's payments pushing fans to not be bandwagon/fair weather fans. If Franchise sucks, then Fans support should suck.[/font]

[Gman1025]

The CFL lost alot of support in the mid '80s.

[local8h]

Dunno but i kinda like that uni[:)]

[font="courier new"]I was not being real about it; because I am the same way when I think of when the historical rich 1980s Franchises (St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Colts and Cleveland Browns*) Relocations.[:@] So, much so that in The GW'sFBA there will never be any Franchises even close to Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens and in The Professional FootBall those States will have less Franchises, than other (even lesser) States.[:@][/font] 
 
[font="courier new"]*-count old NFL winning records and precentages the old Cleveland Browns are the most successful USAn Professional Franchise EVER.[X(][/font]

[font="courier new"]I was not being interspective about it; because I am the same way when I think of when the historical rich 1980s & 1990s Franchises (St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns and The Houston Oilers*) Relocations.[:@] So, much so that in The GW'sFBA there will never be any Franchises even close to Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Oilers, and in The Professional FootBall Level most of those States will have less Franchises, than other (even lesser) States.[:@][/font]

[font="courier new"]          Well I am a huge fan of every NFL (even pre-70s NFL), except I am a Tranditionalist when it comes to most 1980s uniforms, because that is when grew to love The NFL. Maybe, it is the same thing for you, with The 1980s CFL? Not for me and the 1980s CFL, because I was raised The NFL is it for FootBall.[/font]

I was thinking the same thing.

"Vince Ferragamo" was not he a NFL Player? I want to type NE Patriots?

Vince was part of the reason they had money problems in the early 80's.

[local8h]

Vince ferragamo yeah hes in my game with the Rams, Didnt he led the Rams in the Super Bowl againts the Steelers in the 79 season?

[local8h]

GW, yeah i grew up as an NFL fan in the 80s but i sometimes will watch the CFL championships in the 80s with the Bombers..

[DONMVP]

YEP Ferragamo was with rams , that super bowl yr . He took over arond 11 week for injured PAT HADEN

[font="courier new"]      You guys are right, now I remember him. Dang, I should have known that, I usually remember the old great games I have rewatched, let alone SBs. [/font][font="courier new"]He was a QB in CFL, even though he had a lot success in The NFL? If so, he must have gone to The CFL first? Like QB Flutie, but better?[/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]      So you have one of those all-decades type leagues? More I think about it The MF unlimited Franchises works perfect for it. I still do not believe one-can find any post-1990 franchise that can be beat by pre-1989s teams. [/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]That is why I am doing it in a couple of GW'sFBA's Tournaments; however, not simulating anything. All the Franchises will come from exact (at worse, everything just copied from Championships' and GW'sFBA's Playoff Games' printed rosters) and unlimited Franchises that have:[/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Won and Played For Each of The GW'sFBA's FootBall Levels' Playoff Tournaments and Won and Played For Each of The GW'sFBA's FootBall Levels' World's Next Best Tournaments, [/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]and [/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Won Each of The GW'sFBA's FootBall Levels' All-Conferences Games (think NFL All-Pro game, just 8 of them each FootBall Level's Season).[/font]
[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Cool ideas huh?

This is what I love about these kinds of forums... the debates.

GW, I will put any team from the 1990s against either of the 1984 or 1989 San Francisco 49ers (your pick). Even with the complexity of the defenses in the 90's, the 49ers ( with THE ORIGINAL West Coast offense) had such a chemistry that made stopping it requiring you to have your best day as players and even then a whole lot of luck.

On defense, let me just say this: Michael Irvin would have suffered his career ending injury a hell of a lot sooner had he had to play against Ronnie Lott in his prime. Nuff said.
