I am here today to bring the Ultimus to a city that deserves it, more so then any other city since Las Vegas in the early seasons of the league. I am here today to bring the Ultimus to a city that has never seen one, despite having a team for over 30 years. I am here today to bring football back to Philadelphia.
As the head of the Philadelphia Bid, I am aware the city held a championship game in a recent season but this is very special circumstance. This last year, football was taken away from us as the leadership of our beloved Philadelphia Liberty picked up the franchise we knew and loved and moved it to Cape Town. At first I thought it was weird to move a franchise to a small settlement at the most western point of California but imagine my shock when I was told it was Cape Town in South Africa. This means myself and the other massive fans of Philadelphia cannot visit our team regularly and have to hope for away games in New York. Us Philly folk love football and having the Ultimus is as good as we can hope for at the moment.
The Logo for the Ultimus is quite simple. We have taken the original Liberty logo and crudely slapped a plank on it that read ‘Ultimus XXIX’, we don’t need a crazy logo, we just want our liberty back.
I don’t want to go on and on about this bid but I’ll leave it with this, we had our team stolen from us. Please return football, at least one game, to the city that loves its team and the sport, the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
