3 stars is likely representative of their 3 Super Bowls. The circle on the back has me intrigued, has to be a logo.

 

Still most worried about the white uniform and how gradients are definitely on it.

Or as the Washington Capitals use it to represent MD, DC, VA

or 

The 3 stars on the DC Flag

Ironbirds new logos:

I don't know how fans in the area will react if it's a permanent name change. I've lived pretty close to the Baysox for over 20 years and they've been known as that for even longer. The logos could use an update though.

They posted another image a few days later and then have since delayed the announcement 

Bowie Baysox teasing a rebrand and/or logo change?

New era would never lose the mlb contract, they’d rather put so much money into keeping it they go out of business rather than lose that contract.

People thought the same about Topps. We see how that went.

Fair enough. I know the history, popularity and cultural importance of soccer in Europe and South America has lead to riots, but the US doesn't have that so it sounded strange. Especially over indoor soccer.

Let's just say it had nothing to do with soccer.

Hard to imagine Americans rioting over an indoor soccer match.

The Capital Centre was in a really really bad area, bundle that with free/dirt cheap tickets .....

This was all before FedEx Field showed up down the road, and things got better

This makes me think that Washington Warthogs would've been a good team name. You have alliteration and a name that ties in well with the franchise's history, plus you could have a pretty cool logo set that would still differentiate itself from other pro sports team in North America (And hopefully not draw comparisons to the Arkansas Razorbacks).

 

Edit: Just look at those tusks! They're practically perfect to make a W logo out of. 

This was tried with an indoor soccer team in the 90s. From what I understand a riot or something broke out, and the team folded up.

Is this old news? I thought it looked more like a concept at first, but the designer’s website shows that he worked for the NFL previously and worked on the Jaguars and Dolphins rebrands as well.

That almost looked like a rejected Jet's uniform with Eagles Branding on it. 

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:
