Original Six

The Original Six is the group of six teams that made up the Greatian Bladeball League (GBL) between its founding in 1947 and the first expansion in 1958, the first 11 seasons. The term was not used during this era, having originated after the 1971 expansion.

Teams
The teams which made up the Original Six, which still play in the GBL today, are the Foye Rivers, New Nate Rockers, Cristoforo Bridgegappers, Esposito Roadkill, Chris Capitals, and Assange Deadbolts. The Bridgappers and Deadbolts were simply known as "Cristoforo" and "Assange" until the early 1950s, and the Capitals were simply called the Caps, a nickname that still exists today.

Cups
The first Original Six team to win a Kreasi Cup was the Foye Rivers in 1947. They were followed by the New Nate Rockers in 1948, the Assange Deadbolts in 1949, the Cristoforo Bridgegapers in 1951, and the Esposito Roadkill, who three-peated in 1953-1955. The Chris Capitals were the last of the Original Six to win a Cup, doing so in 1958.
