Didn't the arena that the Streets played in serve as the home of the WNBA's New York Liberty for 2 seasons?

A bit of news on the Angels AL West foes over in Oakland:

The Bears have black helmets?

Bluish-Black?

You are correct, I didn't see the final result of that sale, only that the XFL wanted it in May.  

I think the Black on Black looks as basic and "stock" as anything could be after a White/Grey Facemask combo.  They could've at least used a different finish in order to differentiate themselves from New York.  They both have Gloss Black helmets with Black facemasks now.  If you put these two pictures side-by-side in grayscale, you'd barely be able to tell the 2 teams apart, especially with how similar their number fonts are:

 

 

Just really poor vision, planning and execution.  They are about 1 color, 1 helmet stripe, a slight number font tweak, and a different logo away from being identical.

the NFL doesn't even do this. The Bears and Steelers do have black helmets and facemasks, but on the rare chances that they play each other, one of them wears white.   Earlier this year, the Cowboys and Lions played each other, and while both have gray helmets and facemasks, the Lions wore blue jerseys and the Cowboys were in white.

Get rid of the Marlins and renovate their park into a football stadium for the U. 

Beckham is going to want Marlins Park in that case. 

The uniforms will be manufactured by a branch of Adidas:

I think the OP meant alternatvie football to the NFL not alt jerseys.

This is what I meant. 

Meanwhile in Tampa:

I think that the best alternative football jerseys out there were some of the USFL jerseys.

They used to look good in Tampa a very long tme ago!

 

The Renegades continue the tradition of "Dallas Sports Teams having blue" in their team colors, as is the case for every pro sports team in Dallas except the Stars.

The Angels have agreed to stay in Anaheim until 2050 and the stadium (along with 133 surrounding acres) to be sold to a business partnership, which includes Arte Moreno, for $325 million.

Rob Manfred right now: One down, three (Arizona, Oakland and Tampa) to go.

That's the struggle. If they've been around a long time they're called "classic." If they're new and designed to look classic they're "generic." Do you know what's generic? The Colts jerseys. Blue with white stripes, and a white helmet with a logo. And I love them. And they're clean and perfect for what they are, but if an XFL team came out with an identical kit (but, let's say, different colors), they'd be slammed as "generic."

 

Do you know what uniforms are actually generic? The new NY Jets uniforms. They're not even classic, they're just dull and pointless.

The Jets owner, Woody Johnson woke up one day and said "let's copy the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders!"

I would not call the XFL jerseys as generic.  If any jerseys are generic it's most NFL jerseys. 

The rumor on Twitter is that Adidas is going to be the official uniform supplier. 

I would expect their practice squad team "Team 9" to be generic.  I wonder what they will look like.

LA's logo and color scheme is sweet.

 

I think it helps to look at the XFL set with an eye toward what might be good rather than looking for things to hate.

I like the color scheme, I just felt the use of the letters "LA" has been overdone. 

They still haven't announced the uniform supplier yet.  Has there ever been a new league to reveal their uniforms before announcing who is going to supply the uniforms?

L.A. has something that's often desired on this board, but rarely seen: A side panel and pants stripe with matching widths and a unified design. How that holds up on the field is another story, but for now, it looks like a good attempt.

My issue is the use of the letters "LA" that is used by the Lakers, Kings, Clippers, Dodgers, Galaxy and LAFC.  They could have used a different symbol, one that stands out, that makes them different.

Another LA team with "LA" on it.  I would have wanted an animal logo.

Didn’t expect white.

 

 

Since when did UAB join the XFL?

I just can’t believe someone got paid to design these, and that a team of people running million dollar entities approved them.  Unreal!  So many of us here could’ve done a better job in an hour.

The XFL is run by Vince McMahon, and terrible is his M.O. However 4 of these uniforms I like: DC, New York, Dallas and St. Louis

Vipers is okay.  At least they didn't do like the Jets did and copy the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Dallas did what Tennessee and Nike couldn't do with the Titans.

 

When XFL folds, Nike should borrow liberally from the Renegades for the Titans. The Renegades are about a million times more colorful, attractive, and fun.

If the Titans ever look like the Renegades, they would have the coolest looking jerseys in the NFL. 

All that is left is Seattle and LA.
