Dynasty league themes

Postby zacharyringer12 » Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:35 pm

Hello all, I am starting a brand new dynasty league and I'm looking for ideas on a good theme for the league. Any opinions are appreciated, thanks!

Not sure what forum I should have posted in, sorry if this is the incorrect one.

We have a Star Wars themed league, an 80's sci-fi themed league, and a Rockstars themed league.

Two things. Themed leagues are great when everyone names their teams in a manner that's consistent with the league theme. Also, it's important that all league banners follow a consistent standard.

Beer Leagues are great, as we all love beer, tons of good names, tons of good logs (to create banners with). But really any theme can work, so long as you get everyone to buy into it.

Here's our star wars league:

My buddy did the design work for it. And I've seen other leagues "borrow" his banners and even franchise logos. So feel free to use if you see fit.

Thanks for all the replies so far. I'm in a NFL themed and a heroes vs villains themed league right now so I'm looking for something different. Does a battle of the sexes league sound fun, where there's 2 divisions, one with actors and others with actresses?

If I ever get my sh*t together, I've been wanting to create a 16-team league themed around 80s/90s/00s wrestling superstars (I don't know any of the new ones, my nostalgia simply wins out)...4 divisions, each named after one of the yearly PPV specials and the playoffs being WrestleMania. The kicker (not the skill position, they wouldn't be part of lineups) would be that a portion of yearly dues would be used to purchase a replica WWF Heavyweight Champion belt to go to league champ...

...

...don't steal my idea

Make your theme be themes. Very meta, I know, but would be interesting.

LOL I was totally thinking about an 80's WWF themed league. It would be easy to come up with team names like "The Rowdy Roddy Pipers, etc".

But I don't like commissioning on MFL so I won't be formulating anything new.

Dude, I love themed leagues.

I have a Keeper called Justice League of America FFL where teams must be from DC or Marvel. Also run a redraft called JAWS LEAGUE, where your team must be Jaws based. I started a new Dynasty last year called Guitar Gods which, naturally, means your team must be a guitar god.

Love the Star Wars theme!!! You could incorporate that idea into a Sci Fi space based league, which would include SW, The THing, Alien, Logans Run, 2001, pretty much any movie or show steeped in space.

Off the top of my head, I'm in leagues with the following themes... Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Marvel v. DC, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, European Premiere League, Seinfeld, College Football, and then a few NFL-themed (imagine that!).
