Looks like from the announcement it’s just the evolution of The Spring League which Fox was showing

How hard is it to be called “Warner Discovery” and call it a day.

I still don’t understand why some sports are on TBS and some are on TNT. Pick one. Or make CBS Sports Network actually useful.

Forces cable companies to carry both channels 

They dont own CBS Sports, Viacom does. That is MTV, Nick, VH1......

Well this is a good sign.  They will have rights to the old NFL Europe team designs.

 

Do they actually have a deal the NFL or did the NFL let those trademarks lapse and they just picked them up.

Oh my, all of these are terrible, especially the top and middle left ones.

Were the general design of these passed along to the Washington Capitals? Because that bottom right one looks like the Caps jersey from that era.

Sideline reporter for today's Dallas vs. New York Game, Saints All Pro DE Cameron Jordan looks quite dapper in a suit.  

I love that they are using the XFL games to scout active players that may have potential for broadcasting. I don’t know how they test them otherwise.

Maybe this has already been stated but who makes the uniforms? They seem pretty decently made and don’t have any weird problems like adidas and UA with stripes or logos being displayed differently with each player

Its a company called Custom Outfitters in Florida, they pretty much are an exclusive contractor to Adidas, but they got them to make them outside that Adidas deal Custom Outfitters has.

So do they make the college football jerseys with the Adidas logos?

That's the way it appears

So are they the ones who produce MLS jerseys for Adidas?

American Football Jersey Makers

Exclusive in that I think up until XFL everything they did was through Adidas. 

Let's not put the blame on those meh MLS Adidas jerseys on a little Football jersey company.

From what I can tell they are an exclusive jersey maker for Adidas

Here is the President's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samwaksman/

https://xflnewshub.com/xfl-news/new-division-of-adidas-will-be-xfl-uniform-manufacturer/

"Custom Outfitters will be the brand manufacturer of the XFL Uniforms, not Adidas. Custom Outfitters is not a division of Adidas. They are based in Davie Florida.

Custom Outfitters is the primary producer of custom athletic uniforms for Adidas."

Not sure if this was mentioned, but I noticed Dallas has Bud Light Seltzer add on the back left of the helmet. I'm guessing we'll see the rest of the league start advertising there as well. Sorry the picture isn't as clear as I'd like it to be. Dallas would have looked better with light blue pants instead of black. As for the helmet logo, there's enough black on it that you don't need to use a light color outline but I think Tampa Bay needs it. 

In the Sports chat for XFL they posted a tweet about that. 

Did the XFL ever show that secondary Guardians logo on the handwarmer of McGloin when showing initial logos?

I have noticed that most of the NY coaching staff have old school Starter Jackets.

Was thinking about this last night. Let’s say next season they sign Nike, UA, Adidas or NB for uniforms, now much do they allow them to change what they have with the uniforms and branding. I can’t see them overhauling things after one season.

Bud Select may end up being the logo on the Battle Hawks:

Not sure if it should be this  thread  or the sports one (I posted in both), they previewed the overlay, as it will have betting information on it:

Thank god we're going to get actual field designs for the teams this time around. The original XFL had generic end zones for every single team and it sucked.

 

 

 

And if I recall correctly this stadium the teams had to share the sidelines.

$80 replicas now for sale.  Generic AF.

 

 

This looks to be the same cheap jersey type/quality that the DX Jerseys they sold on wweshop were back in 1998

So basically, we should expect the XFL uniforms to be more like the 200 or so uniforms that the Oregon Ducks have had in the last few years. 

Yea, I was thinking that, if they handed it off to Nike or UA with the rule that they are allowed to use experimental designs like Nike does with Oregon and UA (sadly) does with Maryland. 

Their website is now selling caps from ‘47 Brand.

Did the AAF ever get around to selling replica jerseys?  Using that as a barometer, I wonder how soon it’ll be before official XFL jerseys become available for purchase. I know in my research that Arena League jerseys aren’t the easiest to buy, even at its peak. 

When the Philly Soul first started (Bon Jovi era) I wanted a Jersey, and my Girlfriend at the time now wife, lived in that area and the only thing she was able to find anywhere was a white t-shirt with the Soul logo on it. Anything else was game day only at the Arena.

Did Champion have the contract the first time? Might not be a bad idea to go with them again if an agreement can be made. They are a trendy brand with the younger crowd. 

Yes, Champion was who did them the first time. I still have my replica Hitmen Jersey in my closet.

I really like New York's logo.  It won't take the XFL top spot in my heart over the Las Vegas Outlaws but it's pretty solid. I also really like Dallas as well.  Yes it's a masked cowboy look but it works here.

 

Seattle definitely looks like UAB which bothers me.  Should definitely not try to even emulate an already-established brand.

 

But overall? Pretty damn solid.  Hopefully the uniforms won't be a hot mess.

Have they signed a deal with a company yet for uniforms?

Just now, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said:

Renegades and Roughnecks have nice logos.  Overall, most of these aren't bad.  DC might have the worst, but at least they kept it red and white like the DC flag, no red white and blue theme.

DC would have been fine if it had a better logo, and had barely anything to do with the military inspiration it was trying to put over. 

They are not as terrible as people thought it was going to be, I think DC got the short end of the stick of it all.
