OTHER TEAMS

I have no idea whether the following helmets were ever used on the field. Some of these helmets are no doubt prototypes for the teams above, while others are for proposed teams that never fielded a squad for whatever reason. Still others belong to teams that left for rival leagues before the first season even began.

COMMENTS

The WAFL played at least one season in 2001. It was an ambitious undertaking, as evidenced by the variety of helmet designs that were never worn. The WAFL was troubled from the start with teams moving, merging and changing names long before the first game. Many of these teams did survive the experience, however, and ended up playing in the WAFC, AFWL, and WFA in 2002.

I still need help with this league and any information anyone can provide would be very appreciated. I'm not sure if I have them all, or if the names I do have are correct. Many of the renderings on this page were inspired by concepts on the league's web pages, which are now long gone.
