Let's hope we aren't saying "Remember MLR?" anytime soon. Buy those game tickets for you and your friends now.

I hope not.

I have almost all the MLR jerseys too. Still need Toronto, Chicago, and Colorado (and a new Legion jersey if we're counting CA Legion as different from SD Legion)

I think I have a Glendale Raptors jersey from back in the XBlade days if that counts for your colorado one. Trying to remember if it was a game jersey or one of the practice jerseys the sold for minute.

The Raptors are one of the weird ones, given all the name changes and league changes. For my scoring purposes, ______ Raptors for any of the 3 MLR seasons they were in would count.

I still resent them for leaving the league during it's teething period.

San Diego Legion is the only Legion.

I have a Houston Strikers MLR practice jersey.

Holy crap!

u/TexAg15 18d ago

I don’t even know how long they were the strikers.

u/cjreadit7991 17d ago

What’s the history there? How long were they the Strikers?

2

u/TexAg15 17d ago

I have no idea. One of my buddies was on that first team. I remember something about Karbach coming in as a sponsor and wanting their colors closer to one of their beers or something. Sabercats still dorsnt make sense as a Houston team name. Also, Strikers was the name of some old semi-pro club/team.

They launched as the Strikers in 2017 but rebranded before playing any matches. I thought maybe they had played in the 2017 Major Rugby Championship - essentially "year zero" of MLR with the Austin Huns, Glendale Raptors, NOLA RFC, and Utah Select XV - but I guess they were established a little late for that.

Good league. Go the Aviators!

u/RugbyGuy 19d ago

They still exist! They’re now a select side and high performance pathway club for U23, U18 and U16.

u/dystopianrugby 19d ago

Not really, just some guys that were involved as players and "took" the brand. They're not connected to the Doug Schoninger owned entity.

u/RugbyGuy 18d ago

Thanks for the info

u/bobbboberson 19d ago

I have that Rush one.
