Prove Your Allegiance with These AAF Varsity Jackets

The Orlando Apollos took inspiration from two things: The cliché of being forever sunny and the Greek god who embodies that notion. Apollo, the god of the sun, is depicted in bright shades of orange on a navy background, to define a new generation of football for Floridians.

Inspired by the legends the league hopes to produce and foster, the rich purple, gold and white colors represent Atlanta. Dark purple, a hue associated with royalty, topped with a gold crown feels supremely regal.

Three things are needed to make steel: Iron ore, coal and flux. Three colors, inspired by the three ingredients, are needed to embody the rigor of Alabama's football fans: Black, dark gray and light gray. The industrial-looking football logo evokes a never-tarnishing sense of strength.

As home to the nation’s largest cargo airport, Memphis is on the move. The team combined a patriotic color palette—red, white and blue—and a PanAm-like nostalgia to hook its future fans.

Perhaps the most striking of the bunch, the design for the San Antonio Commanders uses a cherry red to make the sword pop. The hues call on the official logo of the city and Texas' state flag, both a similar maroon. We predict fans will love this one.

The Arizona Hotshots logo is very fireman-esque. Paying homage to wildland firefighters, aka "hotshot crews," the design features red flames and crossed yellow axes called Pulaskis, cutting and digging tools used by firefighters. We're here for it.

This has never been done before. The anthracite gray used by the U.S. Navy's Pacific fleet is being deployed to represent the coastal city of San Diego. The gray-on-yellow battleship pops.

Meant to recall the hood ornaments of your favorite classic cars, the Salt Lake Stallions logo uses blues and silvers to recall the city's prime attraction. You guessed it—the Great Salt Lake.
