The Indoor Professional Football League (IPFL) was the new incarnation of the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL), which started in 1998 . Two of its teams (the Madison Mad Dogs and the Green Bay Bombers ) left the league and their owner, Kerry Ecklund , founded the Indoor Football League in 1999 . The IPFL led a troubled three year existence, and died after its 2001 season, with its most successful teams joining up with the National Indoor Football League . The IPFL was unique among Indoor Football leagues in that it sanctioned the use of a white football, manufactured by Rawlings , which was easier to see in the artificial lighting conditions. Ironically, the league's slogan was "Great Football, No Gimmicks.", but most fans saw the white football as precisely that, a "gimmick". In 1999, IPFL was headed by a new commissioner, Mike Storen , and the league offices were moved to Atlanta . IPFL 1999 TEAMS
