Houston

[Hoosier]

Just curious. IFL oldtimers can ya help me out. Where and who were the Houston Renegades in the first days of the league?

[Hooper]

They've always been the Renegades. I'm not an IFL old-timer, but I did some investigation. Step 1 ... there are boxscores from 2010 that say Houston Renegades. Step 2 ... Cringer references Houston in one of the earliest posts on the boards. Step 3 (and most revealing) ... the first check-in I could find. http://www.fof-ifl.com/forums/showth...atory-Check-In

I thought so, too. Helmet art on Jester's seems to indicate that as well

The original Renegade helmet was white with a blue and red tomahawk. It changed to red with the current logo after complaints about "Indian" logos. Then when Matt did the helmets on Madden back in 06,the colors changed to a rose helmet with charcoal accent.

The original sounds like the USFL's Orlando Renegades helmet

[Hoosier]

Complaints? I have Tuscarao, Seneca, and Cherokee ancestors. What is wrong with a tomahawk?��

[Argot]

Maybe not complaints as much as well...you know.

[Hoosier]

White helmet with Ottawa's alt Beaver logo would look cool.
