The sport is a joke and an embarrassment to the sport of football because there are 200 of these leagues right now.  I predict in five years, the number of leagues in Indoor football will grow to 500, proving once more that Indoor football is nothing but a joke of a sport.

I wish the XFL would've went with other cities that deserve football teams like that of the original XFL and AAF. New York, Washington, Seattle, Houston, Dallas and LA already are the obvious choices along with large population base. But eventhough cities like Orlando, Memphis, Birmingham, and San Antonio did have teams in the affore mentioned leagues, they do have the stadiums and population to deserve a second, third chance at the success football gives. And dont forget Oakland and San Diego, as the NFL is leaving these cities as well.

Orlando, Memphis, Birmingham and San Antonio make up the "failed football leagues default 4" of cities they go to when forming new leagues.  The WFL, USFL, WLAF, CFL when they wanted to expand into America, XFL 1.0, UFL and AAF had at one point teams in either some or all of those four cities.  Once upon a time, Las Vegas was a part of that group.

Has the uniform provider been announced? I might've missed that. 

They have not announced one yet.

Do we know when we will see the full uni reveals? I'm guessing early next year. 

Maybe in October, when they plan on having their draft.

The LA Wildcats:

I find it interesting that the Renegades are going to play in the shadow of the Cowboys with AT&T Stadium right across the street from their future home venue at Globe Life Field.

St. Louis should be the Vipers and Tampa should be the Pythons, brother!

And then the Pythons will force the other 7 XFL teams to lose to them in blowout games.

Didn't someone mention the possibility of a team being named after Randy Orton?

 

St. Louis Predators confirmed

 

 

Or....maybe that team has to be named after a creature of the night? Bats? Owls?

Viper is more likely than Predators.

The good news for the XFL is that it's an outdoor league and not one of the 500 indoor leagues in existence right now.

The WWE's claim has been "the views of the Warrior do not reflect the views of his wife" which is why they have been so friendly with his wife. 

On the one hand, they have been known to kiss the butt of a guy who is said to be extremely nice and cool (The Rock, but every movie studio kisses his butt pretty much so I will defend WWE in that case) and on the other hand, they have been kissing Hulk Hogan's butt.

And he's important enough to name a football team after him?

he's one of their top stars.  13 time World Champion in WWE.  He has been criticized at times as not putting in 100% effort in the ring.

I see in the comments that people are saying Vipers has to be St. Louis. I'm aware of the roller hockey St. Louis Vipers but literally know nothing about wrestling outside Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and Undertaker (and even then, just that they exist), so if there's some wrestling connection between "Vipers" and St. Louis please let me know... because I personally think that would be a terrible team nickname unless there's a reason.

Randy Orton, the son of Bob Orton is from St. Louis and is nicknamed the Viper.

Does Seattle XFL need to have green? 

I would not be surprised if some of the XFL teams were named after a bird, a cat or a horse.  I am actually surprised that there have never been a pro team with names such as Cheetahs or Leopards.

Sad state of affairs for the Orlando Predators:

Chatted with friends of mine on staff for the Seattle, New York, and Tampa teams, none of them know what the names or logos for their teams are. Apparently they are a guarded "secret".

 

I wonder what the delay is. I mean, if you release the logos and names, then you can release merchandise for those teams and you know people will start buying things. I for one would buy each team's mini helmet. 

Maybe they are trying to acquire the trademarks and logos of various USFL teams?

Vince Russo, is that you?

It would not be him because he did not say "bro" at all. 

Everytime the XFL has posted something that has nothing to do with team names, there are one or two people responding "Team Names!" not caring about anything else.

But given how much emphasis was on the XFL only employing "clean" football players and having "simple" rules, it seems this is exactly what the team names should reflect. Something like "Outlaws" and other names that are "fresh and kewl" would seem to be against the whole purpose of this league.

 

Or it could be Vince was just riding a trend and doesn't actually intend to follow through on any of his promises.

That has seemed to change.  One of the tryouts had former TCU WR Ka'vonte Turpin, who was arrested for assault of a family member.  He was at the St. Louis tryout this weekend.  The Dallas tryout had Trayvon Boykin.
