Many consider Orlando a dream town. Now the city can boast about its Fantasy — the name of The City Beautiful’s lingerie football team.

The Lingerie Football League on Monday announced the team name and unveiled the franchise logo.

The name Orlando Fantasy was selected after more than 21,000 fan submissions, most of which came from Orlando residents, the league said.

The fan that first submitted the chosen name will be announced later this week. He or she will be issued lifetime season tickets to Orlando Fantasy home games.

“Having successfully developed and launched 10 LFL franchises this past season, we at the league office have never seen this level of fan response and excitement around a new team. Orlando has always passionately supported the Magic, now a new era begins with the Orlando Fantasy,” said LFL Founder and Chairman, Mitchell S. Mortaza, in a statement.

The Orlando Fantasy could premiere as early as this fall.

LFL league offices are currently meeting with prospective ownership groups and considering several stadiums and/or the Amway Arena as the official home of the Fantasy, according to the statement.

The LFL describes its league as a “full-contact 7-on-7 tackle football league featuring some of America’s most beautiful and athletic models playing at major arenas and stadiums on Friday nights.”
