Portland Hikers

The Portland Hikers were introduced into the league in 1972 as an expansion team in the NFL conference of the FAFF. Unofficially, their mascot is an armadillo, dedicated to the species of the franchises' founder, Michael Louis Jr. - however, the armadillo is not used as a team mascot. The Hikers are named for two reasons - the action of 'hiking' the ball to start a play, and the popular pastime of the residents who live in the state of Oregon.
In their 42 year history, they have yet to win a Pro-Team Bowl - their two appearances have left them outscored 10-51. Their most recent appearance was in 2002.
QB Antonio Sikes remains a big star in the FAFF - mostly due to his irregularly large size (as a Rhinoceros). Head Coach Blaine Champion heads into his 12th season at Portland in 2014.
