Report

Following claims of sexism the Lingerie Football League ditched the Lingerie Kit the Women had to wear and adopted shorts and crop-tops, changing its name to the Legends Football League in the process.

The newly-named Legends Cup was won in 2013 by Chicago Bliss, 33-14 over Philadelphia Passion. They won again the following year, 24-18 over Atlanta Steam. They were unable to win three-in-a-row however, losing the 2015 Cup 27-21 to Seattle Mist, before gaing revenge in Legends Cup 2016, beating the same opposition 31-26.

The 2017 edition of the Legends Cup went back to Seattle with the Mist defeating Atlanta Steam 38-28, before Chicago Bliss became the winningest team in Legends Cup History with victory in the 2019 Legends Cup, defeating Austin Acoustic 28-20

About:

The All-American football Conference of 1946-1949 was a successful rival to the NFL, so much so, that the two leagues agreed to merge in 1950, although in essence it was a takeover of the three most successful AAFC clubs by the NFL – San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns & Baltimore Colts.

The League was won by the Cleveland Browns all four seasons – in 1946 they defeated New York Yankees 14-9, and in 1948 defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Championship game 49-7 before beating the San Francisco 49ers in the 1949 Championship Game 21-7

Report

The American Football League of Europe was a Professional American Football League that played under three different names over three seasons, filling in the gap between the demise of the World League of American Football, which played two seasons from 1991 to 1992 with seven teams in North America and three in Europe, and the WLAF’s revival as a Europe-only League in 1995.

The World League of American Football had been a Spring Development League in the United Statesof America, Canada and three countries in Europe, started by the National Football League as a much-needed development league, and also presumably to prevent a recurrence in the 1990s of another American Football League of the 1960s, World Football League of the 1970s and United States Football League of the 1980s.

The first season of the European League (ELAF) was played as two separate conferences, with a limited 1-3 games schedule per team. All four teams in each Conference (UK and Continental) reached the Conference Finals Tournament (won by Hamburg Blue Devils and EuroBears). The UK Conference was made up of four teams started by Terry Smith of the Manchester Spartans, all of which were named after NFL teams which the prefix Euro- added to avoid confusion. One was named the EuroMonarchs after the WLAF team in London.

The League became a full scheduled League in 1994, named the Football League of Europe, again with two conferences of four teams, Northern and Central, won by the Stockholm Nordic Vikings and Munich Thunder. The Nordic Vikings defeated the Hamburg Blue Devils 43-35 in the EuroSuperBowl.

The League renamed itself the American Football League of Europe in 1995, but suffered from the restart of the WLAF as a Europe-only league by the NFL. Only five teams started the season that year with the Munich team, Bavarian Blue Falcons dropping out just before the scheduled start. Playing in one conference of five, the EuroSuperBowl II was won again by the Stockholm Nordic Vikings 14-0 over the Bergamo Lions of Italy.
