Seems like, I've seen... some of those before--

But I am sure... I will find a way to root for them.

[Trump.Deplorable]

Won’t last a season

< shrug >

If they don’t pull a krappernick, I might watch them.

[Dilbert San Diego]

The XFL folded after just one season, a number of years ago. I wonder why they hope to do better this time. Better financing, better TV contract this time?

Renegades all the way.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here were some great team names. They could have used a couple of them;

[BenLurkin]

Barcelona Dragons

[chris37]

I dunno.

I don’t even watch the nfl anymore.

I been a football fan my whole life, I miss it.

[L,TOWM]

Ehh, the AAF would have made it for at least a couple of seasons, except they made a horrible mistake in the deal they made to get some a little working capital that they may or may not have needed.

Worse NFL

Re:

Gadzooks, that was an ugly logo for a team that was successful on the field, making it to 4 World Bowls (1991, 1997, 1999, 2001) and winning the World Bowl V in 1997.

Vince has gone soft.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Were they in the World League of American Football years ago?

Yep, info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_Dragons

[Rebelbase]

Yep. A lot of pissed off NFL fans are eager for something else to watch.

Call me optimistic but I think those logos look fantastic and could be symbolic of somebody running things that really knows what they’re doing.

IIRC, a lot of Houston fans wanted the nickname "Roughnecks" for the NFL team, but the NFL went with the more generic Texans.

Let's see how it goes.

Won’t last a season

I don't know about that. Their budgets are for five years and they've hired Oliver Luck as the Commissioner. Could get interesting.

Also noticed they have teams in New York, Tampa Bay, LA and Seattle, covering the four corners of the country. There’s a little bit of US above New York, but I’m not sure anyone can prove Maine really exists.
