The weight isn't that much more. In fact, adding too much weight actually increases the chances of injury so that's taken into consideration when these are used.

There's also a skull cap that people can wear under a regular hat that doesn't look so outlandish as this one does.

I think the one thing the league knew coming in was that they need to show the desire to stay in place. The XFL wasn't expecting to make profit for 5 years from 2023. The TV numbers have remained steady, which is something that hadn't happened with either league last year. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10078873-the-rock-talks-xfl-after-leagues-reported-60m-loss-in-2023-this-is-the-long-game Having very competitive games helps keep people glued to the channel, and except for maybe four games so far they've all been close right up until the last two minutes.

Yup, I was thinking of the SAFR caps. Is this allowed in the NFL yet?

I think Cleveland would be better off grabbing Justin Fields if they are moving away from Watson. Pittsburgh apparently only want him and Russ for this season. We're already dealing with one diva at quarterback this season, we don't need one who's father is the diva. https://giphy.com/explore/throwing-water

Mark Kelso would appreciate this. I have to say it's been weird to see UFL players practice with them, but not having them in the same colors as the team, but I'd expect that won't be an issue for NFL players that want to wear them in games.

I don't think the injury bug is worse this year than normal, but you also have idiots that are trying to say that if they kept the old XFL kickoff players wouldn't be on the injured list. Those injuries would have occurred regardless of the style of kickoff, because those players weren't tackling properly.

And say that whomever has the first pick can't draft him because Dion doesn't like their third string LT.

I think you have a point, other than Carson Beck, Quinn Ewers, who's going to be available that moves the needle? Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel might be able to move up in the draft with their stats, but Gabriel will have to deal with some tougher defenses in the Big Ten this year and Ward is at Miami which brings its own challenges. Cade Klubnick could come out, but I don't think that he's any better than what quarterbacks are still available in this year's draft. Will Howard has the chance to do something at Ohio State, but he might not even be the starter in August unless Chip Kelly decides to go with age before talent. DJ might help Florida State win a lague title and a playoff game, but he's more likely yo be playing in the UFL or CFL than he is in the NFL.

Ohio State had something like that in the 1950's. Eventually it became the sleeve stripes under Woody Hayes.

These were pretty good too.

Info on some of the stadiums being used this year, as well as some of the fan gear. It's pretty echoey though. Stadion Kleinfeld - Helvetic Mercenaries (5,360) Estadio Vallehermoso - Madrid Bravos (9,000 seats) Also, former Cleveland Browns great Joe Thomas is coaching the offensive line at Stuttgart this year.

It would have been the only good part of this look, but it would look good.

I'm surprised we haven't seen the velcro cap yet.

They do look like morale caps that some units wear, so at least there's that.
