I'm just saying most teams names have nothing to do with the city.... Colts? Chargers? Titans? Redskins? Raiders? Rams? Lions?... Just a silly thing to be rubbed about with these names. Yea but at least there is a connection, no matter how silly, with the name and again...the logo. And I know lots of teams dont have a connection to the city and I think those names stink. Steelers, Dolphins, 49ers, Cowboys...good names. Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets (especially coupled with the Houston Astros) are good names. I just think as a start up team you should TRY to connect to your new fanbase. Im not watching the XFL either way though so overall I dont really care.

I was in middle school then so I don't remember much. They played at a stadium that had track and field stuff so you were pretty far away from the action. I watched a little on the TV but not too much. I remember it being quite scrappy, sort of like the AAF and XFL and most other start up leagues. Though they did get a few players who had success in the NFL. Warner being the biggest, but also John Kitna, Adam Vinatieri, Dante Hall, Brad Johnson, James Harrison and Jake Delhomme.

IMO teams should try to make connection to the city somehow. The Wildcats, Dragons, Vipers? Those are so stupidly generic awful names. Generic, yes. However, these names and logos are considerably better than those absurd names and logos from the first XFL.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I wonder if McMahon made deals on some of those logos because I smell some copyright lawsuits coming. ...or maybe that's the idea? #freepub Edited August 21, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I remembered the SAC logo. OP had like 8 feet of snow in November not that long ago. Very autumnal. My Dad was in SAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Sitting here watching the XFL Draft as Noise while I am working. Weird Format with Phases. (Skill Positions, OL, Def Front 7, DBs, and an Open Phase) 1.5 min per pick 10 picks per phase Snake Draft with a lotto to allow teams to pick where they select in each phase. Seems alot like a Fantasy Football Draft that is run at all the Bars before the NFL Season Starts. https://www.xfl.com/articles/phase-2-offensive-line-draft-tracker Heard some UB Bulls drafted during the OL Phase Also A couple former Bills with Cyrus Kuandjo and De Beers.
