Comments

Reflected on this page and on the page for af2's National Conference is the new divisional alignment announced for the 2009 season. There is one new team in the league, the Milwaukee Iron, and five teams have folded - the Daytona Beach Thunderbirds, Louisville Fire, Texas Copperheads, Lubbock Renegades, and Austin Wranglers. The team known in 2008 as the Lexington Horsemen will play in 2009 as the Kentucky Horsemen, and the team known in 2008 and previous years as the Albany Conquest is now the Albany Firebirds.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers have a new helmet design for the 2009 season (shown above).

QUAD CITY STEAMWHEELERS

2007 (at least one game)	2000 -

During at least one game in 2007 (July 26 vs the Fort Wayne Fusion), the Steamwheelers used a different helmet design - the helmet shells were red and featured a differently-colored version of the same helmet logo which the team has used since its inception. Unfortunately I have lost the copy of the helmet logo which I once had, and used to draw the gold-shelled helmet; if the person who sent me that copy many years ago could please re-send it, I would greatly appreciate it.
