That new logo is a real stinker

The Chargers have a navy alt and a royal blue alt, but neither color appears anywhere on their primary uniform. 

Fair. Part of me wonders if they try to pass them off as “fauxbacks”

Now with new ownership terminating the 5 year rule, I wish we had news on a Commanders uniform change. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything happening until 2025.

Even then, that would reach the end of the original duration. So not exactly a win people would think it is.

Per rules, the Lions absolutely cannot have a black alternate to pair with their current set. The color has to be within the official palette.

The Rams blue sure does look incredible when it’s not hindered by a roof

There’s a Vikings player wearing yellow cleats, sleeves, and gloves and it looks great

I kind of want the Defenders to get the Cardinals treatment (minus the black alt)

Watching the Ravens/Steelers game has me thinking…

How common (or uncommon) are matchups where both starting QBs wear the same number?

In this instance, Rudolph and Huntley both wear 2.

UFL teams would be in a good spot to have teams opt out of white away jerseys in favor of light grey or cream.

I thought the old New York Guardians set was the best of the XFL revival for this reason-

Judging by those hats, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the jerseys is just blue and white

I don't think the UFL wants a stadium that small for their league, although it would be beneficial to them to do so.  

The UFL’s smallest stadium is DC’s Audi Field at 20,000 and it regularly sold out for Defenders XFL games if I’m not mistaken.

Here we go again

The cowboy should be on the helmet and that AR thing on the sleeves. 

Nah, that thing is not AR. It’s a D with a line through it. Throw it into the sun.

I'd say just put them in their 2020 uniforms, but that'd be three teams in red. 

A full color navy helmet with the current logos would work great here. 

That cog logo should be somewhere on a uniform.

 

The cog should be on the helmet. Man, that thing is nice. Also sad to have seen the Renegade “cowboy” reduced to a secondary logo.

You could make a pretty solid case that the Oilers never had a bad home uniform. 

The absolute best ones. Screw the “bUt ThEy sUcKeD iN tHeSe” crowd.

They rock.

A darker shade would be fantastic as well.

Anyone else expect the Steamboats jerseys to look like the Roughnecks but in different colored yokes, or do we think they'll get new jerseys instead? The rest of the USFL teams have designs that easily switch over the UA templates. 

I also hope we see a championship trophy that's closer to the USFL trophy than the XFL trophy. Maybe keep those trophies as the division trophies?

 

 

If the UFL is smart, they’d put the Roughnecks in recolored Gamblers uniforms minus the side panels.

Well, it makes sense that the Roughnecks actually played IN Houston and built a fanbase, the Gamblers never had a "home game" in Houston.

Isn’t the stadium situation still  getting figured out? Games were played at U of H, but now it seems like Rice is a leading contender.

NFC means National Football Conference; AFC means American Foodball Conference

 

USFC would mean United States Football Conference, and XFC would mean . . . X Football Conference?

 

So, yes, the fact that X doesn't stand for anything does indeed answer the question why they didn't call the conferences USFC and XFC. 

 

Moreover, the use of the former leagues' intact names for the conferences reflects a recognition of the ongoing value of those names, particularly that of the USFL.  I have said before that I think it's a mistake to throw away the significant brand recognition and the broadly favourable associations of the USFL name.  The ideal way forward would have been to call the combined league the USFL, while using XFL rules, recognising XFL history, and having Johnson and Garcia as the spokespeople and the faces of the league (not to mention having a majority of XFL teams, owing to the other branding error, the decision to use the clearly inferior Houston Roughnecks identity as opposed to the classic Gamblers identity). This would cater to fans who come from both former leagues, and, more importantly, would put the new league in the best position to attract new fans.

 

Anyway, given that league is going to go with the new UFL name, it needs to mitigate the problems inherent in introducing yet another new league name to a public that has seen several new names come and go in recent years.  The way to do that is to place strong emphasis on the accumulated history of both component leagues, and to position the coming season as the ninth, after five USFL seasons (1983, 1984, 1985, 2022, 2023) and three XFL seasons (2001, 2020, 2023).  The very first thing the league should do is to compile the overall stats and to create a comprehensive website on the model of the Sports Reference sites.  

 

I’ll be honest, I didn’t read all that.

Anyway, I guess I understand why they didn’t go that route. It’s not like they could’ve done regional conference names either. 7 out of 9 teams are all clumped together. Michigan and DC being the only not midwest or southern teams. Three teams within Texas doesn’t help matters either. Choosing to keep the Gamblers roster and coaching staff, keeping them in the USFL Conference, but slapping the Roughnecks identity on them is a pretty dumb and confusing move too.

Because X doesn't stand for anything.

Still doesn’t answer the question. 

They had every chance to name the conferences USFC and XFC, but just had to keep “League” in there. For what purpose?

We get a 49ers vs. Browns Super Bowl and they both wear the '46 throwbacks?

Too much white and too many drop shadows.

Wow, that iteration of the UFL was a fever dream.

FIFY

Really hope the oversized “UFL” is a PR thing and not the legitimate game ball
