Denver Stampede – beating out Peak and Vipers. Players and fans had openly campaigned for Cobras.

Ohio Aviators – beating out Flight and Presidents.

Sacramento Express – beating out Steamers and Pioneers.

San Diego Breakers – beating out Admirals and Destroyers. Widely popular Dragons was not an option.

San Francisco Rush – beating out Miners and Fury.

No logos have been created as of yet.
