XFL 2023 Logos, Names and Uniforms

[Scrumptious Ham]

I don't like Steelheads for hockey, but love it for the xfl. Too bad it's a pipe dream. These names are blah. 

[WideRight]

Here, just to kill some time, are some top names I would love to see for the different XFL cities:

 

SEATTLE

1. Sasquatch is my all-time favorite name for a Seattle team.  

2. Steelheads is also a good one, especially for football.

3. Orca would also work well for the region

4. Rangers, as in forest rangers.

 

DALLAS

1. Drillers--oil reference but also pseudo-violent/hitting reference

2. Rawhides--old west, just sounds cool.

3. Wildcatters--another oil reference, but one with a dual logo option (rigs or cats)

4. Roughnecks--one last oil reference

 

HOUSTON

1. Any of the Dallas names could also work here

2. Apollos--not likely since the AAF Orlando team used this name, but it makes sense.

3. Howlers--could be a reference to wind or to wolves.

4. Bayous-- Could use a gator, pelican or other bayou creature as a logo/mascot.

 

LOS ANGELES

1. Stars--too obvious?

2. Aztecs--Too close to SDSU?

3. Gladiators--best if they play in the Colisseum, but if not, can still be a good name. 

4. Surf-- obvious beach culture reference

 

ST. LOUIS

1. Lightning-- underused in sports and alliterative.

2. Rampage-- A poke in the eye of the St. Louis Rams, and you could use all kinds of animals to depict this.

3. Stallions-- Almost good enough for the NFL, certainly good enough for the XFL

4. Leopards-- an underused big cat option.

 

TAMPA BAY

1. Plunder-- Nice pirate reference to go with the ship sitting in their stadium.

2. Sharks-- By the bay, the Gulf

3. Tritons-- Another nautical reference.

4. Tigersharks-- Perhaps a bit more specific than #2

 

WASHINGTON

1. DC Power-- Dual meaning, both electricity and national capital

2. Washington Warhawks-- could use planes or birds as logo

3. Washington Wolves-- nice alliteration and an underused animal

4. DC Dozers-- A bulldozer would be a great football logo

 

NYC

1. New York Nightowls-- City that never sleeps, Nighthawks could work as well

2. Gotham Knights-- Yes, you might need to check with DC about this first.

3. New Jersey G-Men-- Not sure if the Giants have trademarked this.  If so, DC G-men would be good for Washington too.

4. New Jersey Pallisades-- Hyper-localized reference, but an image of strength and immovability.

Of the names in this group, Dragons is the only good one (says this fan of the New York Dragons).

But Surge has already been the name of a team with Seattle-appropriate colours and very nice uniforms (though with a helmet logo that seems like an afterthought). The Sacramento Surge of the WLAF evidently had three jerseys: one white, one green, and one blue.

No just two. That third one you're talking about is just the green one wet. You can tell it's raining in that third card.

Nah, green, red and black ...

I thought the ATL Hawks colors were hated? I guess it could work if done right

Seattle XFL Trademarks Five Potential Team Names

June 29, 2019 - 13:24 PM

Five Seattle-based XFL team names were filed for trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month by Alpha Entertainment LLC, a company owned by XFL chairman Vince McMahon. These same five names were then later also […]

Even without names and logos, the XFL is already merchandising. Who is going to buy this stuff when it will be obsolete when the names are announced?

(Some items are available in a selection of colors. Not necessarily team colors.)

Same people who did that in 2001. Some people will like the city name items over team names. I'm hoping the uniforms settle somewhere between XFL 2001 and AAF in terms of design elements. Orlando Rage were good except for the numbers. Memphis was overdone as well. Just make sure to have home and away jerseys ready, even if you only plan to sell home jerseys.

Out of all of the secondary leagues, the USFL has some good uniforms.

2. Aztecs

 

Can people please stop with the Los Angeles Aztecs thing? 

 

The city of LA has literally zero relation to the Aztec empire, which was located in Central/Southern Mexico.

And parts of Texas as well.

If they do use Dragons, I would really like it to be a Chinese dragon as a way of tying into the large asian population in the city. I'm also partial to Surge, but would love it if they used Wild, if only to play this every time there is a touchdown:

Unclickbaiting from the mothership:

The five names trademarked and registered were Seattle Dragons, Seattle Force, Seattle Fury, Seattle Surge, and Seattle Wild which just shows that no matter how hard we try, we just can’t quite free ourselves from the grasp of the “eXtreme!” naming styles of the late 1990s.

 

I like Dragons because it's a plural that ends in "s." I'm very simple.

[Wings]

I like Dragons & Fury. Bruce Lee connection.

Sea Dragons maybe? I am bummed none of them are sea related.  

[Red Wolf]

I joked that Seattle would go with Dragons as a reference to famous professional wrestler Daniel Bryan's indie nickname American Dragon forever ago. Make it so!

Seattle Surge would work for one of 2 reasons:

1, Coca Cola sponsors the team and gives them the Surge colors of Green, Red and Black which might work.

2, Essentially transplant the Sacremento Surge into Seattle... but change the yellow to blue, that uniform set was good.

Curious to see if the XFL teams will have team names that end in S for all of the teams.  It doesn't seem like that will be the case.

Maybe they should all end in X.
