-The 33rd distinct franchise in league history has been born: the BINGHAMTON SNIPERS. Mark Serokosz joins the league with fanfare as the first brand new owner since Marty Sheehy took over the Moosecrew in week 3 of the 2014 season. 
-The OAKWOOD DRIVERS, owners of a moribund 17-35 record through four seasons, have been rebranded with a new color scheme. After so many years of STOP SIGN RED, the GREEN AND GOLD look should have Tom Acquisto's team going for first place in their fifth year.
-Vince Milillo's nomad franchise takes its eighth logo in eight years, heading to Palm Beach to become the MAR-A-LAGO GRABBERS. The Presidential moniker could be the key to an uncanny rise to the top for a team that's been out of the race for half a decade now.
-Already announced, but the Saskakatoon Sasquatch/Atlanta Rage squad helmed by Kevin Stabe have transitioned to become the PHILADELPHIA RUM HAM, hoping to get away from their own playoff drought which has reached four seasons. 
-In addition to helmets and third jerseys for each of the ten teams that retained their 2016 details, the MANITOBA MOOSECREW and HCM CITY LEAD FARMERS have had their kits updated for the coming season, with the Moosecrew going away from their red accents and sporting more neutral toned blues, while the Lead Farmers maximize the black in their new duds while embracing a crisp modernized typeface that relegates the gunmetal gray.
-The rest of the league stands pat: the defending champion HILL VALLEY McFLYS, consummate medalist PHOENIX UPRISING, the PAWNEE PRIDE who sport the best regular season record over the past two years (18-8), the DEPUTY VAN HALENS fresh off a legitimate show of force in 2016, the due for some good luck SAVANNAH PETES, the 2015 champions SOUTH PARK COWS, TORONTO LTP who just missed the playoffs for the first time in four years, and the 2014 champion NEW YORK'S FINEST.
