==History==

===First Multi-Cup Dynasty===

The Milwaukee Flamingos established themselves early as a strong [[Toroidal Cup]] team. Unlike the {{CTeam|SFBS}}, who checked out of most of the [[Toroidal Cup]] after deciding their glory days as the greatest team of all time were behind them, the Flamingos established a [[Dynasty|Flawless Dynasty]] in the Toroidal Cup with their [[Toroidal/Season 17]] championship.

The Flamingos are the only team to ever to establish a Flawless Dynasty in two Cups (the [[Hellmouth Cup]] and the [[Toroidal Cup]]).

===High Desert High Life Crown===

Preceding [[Klein/Season 6]], the {{CTeam|ABQ}} were in Milwaukee for a joint Golly training camp focused on sustainable competitive practices. The {{CTeam|MILF}}, being their usual hospitable selves, invited the entire Albuquerque squad to experience "authentic Wisconsin culture" - which of course meant a brewery tour, which of course spiraled into a three-day festival crawl.

The Solarpunks, normally powered by kombucha and optimization algorithms, found themselves stumbling through beer gardens at 2 AM, trying to explain permaculture principles to increasingly drunk Flamingo fans. Meanwhile, Flamingo players were genuinely fascinated by solar panel efficiency ratings and kept buying rounds "for the planet." The bender culminated when both teams collaborated on a massive Game of Life pattern spelled out in empty beer cans across an entire city block, which somehow achieved stable oscillation and is now a protected civic landmark.

While they didn't know it then, their pre-season bender and fast friendship would come full circle in the [[Klein/Season 6|Season 6]] [[Klein Cup]] series, where the two teams would meet. Every match of that [[Klein Cup]] series was philosophical warfare: Flamingo fans showed up with foam fingers and cowbells, cheering for patterns that burned bright and died spectacularly. Solarpunk supporters brought reusable signs made from recycled materials, hand-cranked spotlights to distract the opposing team, and scorecards where they could calculate the carbon footprint of each computational cycle.

The two teams' patterns intertwined in a collaborative display, but ended in an amicable-for-everyone 4-1 series victory for Milwaukee. The Flamingos didn't just win the [[Klein Cup]], they won a host of new friends, proving again the power of benevolence.

The anti-rivalry between the {{CTeam|MILF}} and {{CTeam|ABQ}}, officially declared the [[High Desert High Life Crown]], made its debut in this season.

===The Freshly Laid Trap===

In [[Klein/Season 11]], having finally bested the {{CTeam|SFBS}} to win a pennant, the {{CTeam|MILF}} entered the [[Klein Cup]] series agains the {{CTeam|FF}} radiating confidence the way a Phoenix sidewalk radiates heat after midnight.

The Mingos adopted their usual strategy of chaotic good - unpredictable charm that would overwhelm the Freshrolls like a bath in bubbly water. But they miscalculated - badly. The Freshrolls, a team known for meticulously-layered, deceptively simple patterns, laid one of their most finely-crafted traps, over and over, luring the Flamingos into flamboyant formations, drawing them deeper into risky gambles, only to snap the trap shut on the single leg their strategy stood on.

The Freshrolls defeated the Flamingos in a 4-1 series rout with suffocating efficiency, a tactical masterpiece by Phoenix that left Milwaukee looking foolish and outmaneuvered: a flock of birds led into a cleverly disguised net.

===The Grapes of Wrath===

{{KleinGrapesOfWrathLCSFragment}}

===Salty Dawg Betrayal===

The Mingos carried that momentum into the [[Klein/Season 12|Season 12]] [[Klein Cup]], and in a flawless display of their discipline and power, they ate the {{CTeam|SLC}} alive. In a reversal of their [[Klein/Season 1|Season 1]] [[Klein Cup]] fortunes, where they had lost badly to the Butchers because the Butchers forgotten the safeword and dismembered them wholesale, this time around it was the Mingos that seemed to be in a zombie trance, dismembering their [[Salty Dawg Alliance]] friends, the Turbulence, in a show of vulgar dominance.

This wasn't the fun-loving, cigar-smoking, beer-guzzling Flamingos; this was a team reminding the league that beneath the cigars and beer was a competitive core that, when unleashed, was unstoppable.

===Unlucky Thirteen, Purple Gang===

[[Klein/Season 13]] saw the {{CTeam|MILF}} get bundled up like garbage, tossed in the back of a pickup, and driven out to Brush Street near Willis Avenue in the "Little Jerusalem" neighborhood, where they were stashed in a "Grape Processing Facility". In a significant escalation of stakes, the {{CTeam|DET}} declared themselves the [[Purple Gang]], the modern [[Klein Cup]] reincarnation of the [[Hellmouth Cup]] [[Big Purple Machine]], and demanded fealty and tribute from the {{CTeam|MILF}}.

The Flamingos, happy to escape with their lives, were quickly swept, and spent the [[Klein/Season 13]] offseason formulating strategies to circumvent the [[Purple Gang]].
