The WLAF, World League of American Football, NFL Europe, NFL Europa.
Whatever the name was and wherever it was located, I followed it. I have been a fan of the WLAF since the league
began and here you will find items in my collection as well as an in depth history of the league. I hope to make this
the ultimate site for the WLAF. Enjoy!

This site is continually being updated. I am currently trying
to make this site the most informative and complete World League site on the web. If you have information that I do not have,
let me know. I would be glad to include it here. Thank you!
THANKS!!!
I just wanted to thank WLAF/NFLE/NFL Photographer Wayne Paulo for his dedication and all of the great
work over the years. Some of the images on this site are from Wayne's work. See Wayne's work on his website and buy

NEW!!!!
Check out the new "For Sale" section for items to buy.
***WARNING***
There are many people on Ebay trying to sell "game worn" WLAF jerseys. Make sure
you do your research before you buy anything. Check on my site. If the number of the jersey doesn't match the name on
the back, question what the item is. Alot of these jerseys are replica jerseys which someone put a name on them to make
them look game used. Also, do not pay more than $100-$125 for a replica jersey unless it is from the Ohio Glory, Raleigh-Durham
Skyhawks or the Orlando Thunder. The three I listed are hard to find, especially the Thunder ones. If it is a
game worn jersey look for a couple of things: 1. signs of wear (tears, repairs, scuffs, etc. - if they used it in a game,
it probably looks like it) and the second thing to look for is on the Wilson tag at the bottom of the front of the jersey.
Not all game worn jerseys have the name on the back. If it says "Prestige Teams" on the Wilson tag, most likely
it is either game worn or team issued which means it was never used but it is a real jersey and not a replica. It also
has a small tag hanging under the Wilson tag that has a size like "52". If it has XL or M, it is a replica.
Also, one more thing. Use common sense. If a jersey is $200 or more with no name on it, no wear and has weird patches or names
on it, it is most likely a replica that someone is trying to pawn off as game worn or team issued. I also encountered
a person in Ebay who was selling WLAF helmets. When I received them, I could smell the fresh paint and the colors were wrong
(yes, I got a refund!). Original helmets were Riddell VSR-1, VSR-3 and some made by Schutt (for some reason). If
you look inside the earhole, you will see a number. The first two digits tell you the year. If in doubt, contact
me. Thanks.
