CaliforniaGlowin Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I got a good one: L.A. RIOT! It's outdated but it's different and confrontational. The L.A. Galaxy fan base is called the Riot Squad, but whatever. Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Oh, you would have loved Vince's original idea to name the Birmingham Thunderbolts the "Blast," then. Your next smart post on here will be your first. Maybe stop and just read for a couple months here. 4 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Quillz Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Given the XFL's stated purpose to only imply Honest Americans(TM), it would make sense all the names are simplistic and dignified. Boring, generic, but non-offensive seems to be what they'll want to latch onto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring in a nostalgic, olde-tyme football vibe with... Dallas Mustangs Houston Outlaws Tampa Bay Sharks Seattle Wildcats Los Angeles Dragons New York Knights Washington Warriors St. Louis Skyhawks Boring, non-controversial, "classic" and yes, boring. I don't think the XFL will go there. I think they will want names that are "new", "fresh" or wost of all "kewl". Hopefully he does not stoop to the degree of having the Seattle Forest Sharks or Washington River Lions or any other minor league baseball BS. I also hope he doesn't go full MAGA with hyper-patriotic names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I dunno - there are a lot of Americans who manage to thump their chests proclaiming their patriotism while at the same time lionizing armed insurrection against the United States and the killing of American soldiers. Go figure. 19 hours ago, Quillz said: Or it could be Vince was just riding a trend and doesn't actually intend to follow through on any of his promises.
