History of the Stallions

The Salt Lake Stallions are a professional American football team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The team is part of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) and began to play in February 2019. The Stallions have quickly become one of the most popular teams in the AAF with their passionate fan base and exciting style of play.

Since joining the league, the Stallions have had an impressive record on both sides, making them one to watch each week. On offense, they boast some big names, such as former BYU standout quarterback Joe Critchlow who leads a high-powered attack alongside running back Joel Bouagnon, who was signed from the Chicago Bears practice squad last year. Defensively, the stallions are led by linebacker Gionni Paul out of Miami Hurricanes fame, who anchors an aggressive defense that has held opponents to just over 20 points per game this season.

All these factors combined make for exciting games every week, as fans can expect hard-hitting action while watching their beloved salt lake stallions compete against other top-tier teams around the league. With only a few more weeks left regular season, it will be interesting to see how far this young franchise can go to playoffs!

Nickname
Stallions – The Salt Lake Stallions, one of the newest Alliance of American Football (AAF) teams, have quickly become a fan favorite with their unique nickname. The name “Stallions” pays homage to Utah's rich Western heritage and is a fitting symbol for this team that has already shown strength and courage on the field. But what's even more interesting than how they got their name is where it came from!

The origin story behind the Salt Lake Stallions starts with an old-timey horse race held annually in Utah called "the Great Race." This event was first established in 1901 by two local ranchers who wanted to create something special for their community. Over time, it grew into a major spectacle that drew thousands of spectators each year - including some famous faces like John Wayne! In honor of this beloved tradition, AAF officials adopted its namesake as part of our new franchise's identity: The Salt Lake Stallions were born!

Not only does this reference pay tribute to Utah’s long history, but it also gives us all something else we can be proud of – being part of an organization dedicated to excellence both on and off the field. With hard work comes great rewards, so go out there and show your support every game day by cheering loudest when you hear those three words: Go Stalllliiiooooons!!!
