Brian in Boston Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That is a pretty uninspiring list of team names that Alpha Entertainment reportedly registered with the USPTO. Based upon what they were considering, I'd have probably ultimately unveiled...Eastern Conference DC Sentinels New York Gothams St. Louis Archers Tampa Bay VipersWestern Conference Dallas Lobos Houston Roughnecks Los Angeles Legion Seattle Dragons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Surely there’s examples where it doesn’t look like this, but the very rectangular jaw in the UAB logo reminds me of a dragon dance costume. The red and yellow don’t hurt, either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 LA Gold could have worked with a shiny glitz branding. Stunners sounds MiLB, Wings already is WNBA and sounds it. I might go for the Dragons if the uniform looks good. 1 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you’d get the same thing with a bunch of teams if you put their logo over their wordmark. It really shows off how good most of these logos are. 1 Quote Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't they though? It's not the NFL (the top/most famous league despite it's faults and no matter if anyone likes it or not) and the previous XFL was such a disaster that how can anyone look at this updated XFL as anything but inferior until they prove otherwise both on and off the field? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. Be realistic. You know going in that every coach, every player, every scout, every trainer, every official, every executive on the XFL payroll will jump at the chance to join the NFL as soon as possible. The XFL is a secondary league, and that is all there is to say about it. I don't know if you are an NFL-hater or just a big fan of alternative football, but you have to go into the XFL with a realistic view, if not with a grain of salt, because it is not the NFL in quality, funding or potential. If you think the XFL is going to somehow roll over the NFL and become the predominant football league in the USA, you are in for a world of disappointment. Might as well bet a huge sum of money on the Dolphins winning the Super Bowl this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yeah, the burden of proof is definitely on the XFL. We've seen too many of these fly-by-night minor leagues implode to give any new ones the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much money the owner has and may or may not spend. If it's good, if it's sustainable, then they'll build credit in the eyes of the general public. If you support the league, be patient. Respect will come if it's due. 2 Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkg74 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 This will be the last chance ever for a non-NFL league to make it. If the XFL bellys up, nobody should ever try again! And honestly IMO this sport is headed for extinction. I give it 30 more years(heck maybe 20 isnt too far fetched) tops then It will turn into something entirely different like flag football with light padding. (well, unless 12 filthy rich zillionaires want to re-boot the USFL again, i would certainly welcome that one) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
