The Birmingham Yellowhammers were a proposed professional football team announced for a new "American Football League" in October 2010. The Yellowhammers (re-named once the league discovered that the "Blazers" was already taken), would have been clad in yellow and black with red and white trim with a logo featuring the head of an angry Yellowhammer bunting (not, apparently, the Northern flicker or Yellowhammer which is the Alabama state bird).
Birmingham's team would have played at Legion Field and been grouped with teams in Louisville, Kentucky; Memphis, Tennessee; and New Orleans, Louisiana in the 16-team league's South Division. The league never organized and the plans were officially scrapped in September 2011.
