The Las Vegas Flames are a fictitious professional American Football team based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Flames are members of the West Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Flames have won 2 NFL championship games since they were founded in the 2014. Their home stadium is Gaianwave Park.

The franchise began as the Los Angeles Flames in Los Angeles, California and moved to Las Vegas later that year due to popular demand from the NFL. At first, the Los Angeles Flames' majority owner was Electronic Arts. The team was then purchased by Dwayne Johnson for an estimated $1.5 billion.

2014: Early Flames
The Los Angeles Flames were founded in 2014 by Electronic Arts. Their name, the Flames, was given to them because of how "hot" they preformed in practice according to Dick LeBeau, the current head coach of the Flames. The name was also fitting considering the climate of Los Angeles.

2015-present: Current Flames
The Flames are on a win streak. They are the only undefeated franchise in the NFL with back to back undefeated season records and back to back Super Bowl wins without even loosing a single preseason game in between.

The Move
Before the start of the 2014-2015 season, the team was relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas was considered one of the largest cities in the nation without an NFL team. With the permission of Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, the team gladly moved with just weeks before the start of the season. The team kept their name, logos, and designs previously associated with them because it was too late in the season to create new uniforms and logos. After that season, however, the team finished with a record of 16-0 so they opted not to change anything on the uniform except for a few minor edits to the red arm sleeve.

Super Bowls
The Flames beat the New England Patriots 37-10 in Super Bowl XLIX to gain their first franchise Lombardi Trophy. The following year, the Flames beat the Everglade Crocs 88-38 in Super Bowl 50 which set multiple NFL records. That year's Super Bowl MVP was quarterback Jake Brown who threw for a record breaking 9 touchdowns and completed 19 passes on 23 attempts for 482 yards. He also recorded 53 rushing yards on 2 attempts. Brown finished the game with a perfect quaterback rating of 158.3 and completed 82% of his passes to 8 different receivers.

Logo
In 2014, the Los Angeles Flames' logo was created. It shows the city or Las Angeles surrounded by an orange and red flame. Although the team has since moved from Los Angeles, the logo remains the same. The anonymous artist of the logo claims that, "It depicts a neutral city so there is no need to change it." Since the team is superstitious and wanted to maintain a winning record, the logo stayed the same even though the city it represented moved.

Uniforms
The Las Vegas Flames' black home jersey has solid red arm sleeve, collar, and numbers. The players' name appear in orange along with the stripe on the sleeves, belt, and bottom portion of the socks. The pants, numbers, and stripe in the socks are white and helmet and facemark are black with the Flames' logo on both sides of the helmet. The Las Vegas Flames' white away jersey is the same as the home jersey except the the jersey color and pants switch colors and the numbers are black. Because Las Vegas gets hot in the summertime, the organization opts to only wear their alternate all-black jerseys only for away games or night games.
