Get ready for the Birmingham Iron, Memphis Express, Orlando Apollos and Atlanta Legends. The other four franchises, in Salt Lake City, San Diego, Phoenix and San Antonio, will announce their names and reveal their colours next week. Atlanta will play in Georgia State Stadium, the old Ted Turner Field and 1996 Olympics stadium, with Brad Childress in charge. The Birmingham Iron pays tribute to steel workers of the region. Team colours of black, steel grey and brushed silver are derived from the three elements needed to make steel: iron ore, coal and flux.
