pitt6pack Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 For anyone speculating that they needed to update the website, specifically having merchandise ready the day of the team names and logo releases, nothing is for sale with the new team names and logos until Saturday ... https://shop.xfl.com/password You'd think that's one of the more important things to have done. Capitalize on people making an impulse buy as soon as they see all the logos and such. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have more character than the AAF logos, but very underwhelming. The Dragons, Roughnecks, Renegades logos are "been there done that" The LA Wildcats? Come on...it looks to close to LAFC..wow. The Vipers is ok.. BattleHawks....they tried too hard on that.. Seattle Sockeyes Los Angeles Cougars Houston Roughnecks Dallas Stallions New York Guardians D.C.

AustinFromBoston Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Roughnecks - Cool, but basically a copy of the Houston Oilers. Wildcats - Pretty generic, especially for LA. Renegades - Not bad. Like the colors. Guardians- Ok I guess, still not sure exactly what it’s supposed to be. A lion or gargoyle? BattleHawks - Again just ok, seems pretty generic Dragons - Would have been so much better if they just called them the Seattle SeaDragons. Vipers - Pretty cool. Vipers is an awesome name. Yellow & Green are always a cool combo. Defenders - Another “meh” i do wish they switch the names for St. Louis & Tampa. “Tampa Bay BattleHawks” & “St. Louis Vipers” sound a lot better.

But they don't come w/o critiques in my opinion. 1. It looks like these were all designed by the same designer. There's a uniformity that I don't like (similar wordmark placement (city and nickname)). 2. Some of the team names are weird. LA Wildcats. Too generic. St. Louis Battlehawks. Too wordy. 3. Last, but not least, TOOO MUCH RED. Too many of the teams have red, whether as a major color or a minor one (you could sorta say the same with blue). With so many colors like Purple and Teal or colors combos to choose from, the XFL shouldve made use of that. At least the AAF had a variety. Overall, it's not bad. Theyre pretty good actually. The LA Wildcats are the worst mainly because the lack of creativity (in name, and logo) and color choice. DCs are fine with me. Quote College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 They had to give LA one of the most used names in college football. I'm not a fan of any of them. 3 Quote Last updated 8/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, looks like Houston, LA, and Tampa have secondary logos as of right now, whereas none of the others seem to have a secondary. I wonder if that's permanent or if secondary logos will be developed for those teams later.

Capitalize on people making an impulse buy as soon as they see all the logos and such. Yeah, they're totally giving people too much time to realize just how much they DON'T like their team's names and logos. Someone earlier was posting in defense of the BattleHawks name. Here's my problem with it. It's not only that it's generic and uninspiring, I hate any name whose root needs to be modified to make it seem more aggressive. Adding "Battle" to the name isn't a workaround. It's a sign that the name Hawks itself doesn't work on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 As a former Houston Oilers fan, current Tennessee Titans well-wisher, Dallas resident, and apathetic NFL observer, I'm pretty excited about what I'm seeing from the Dallas Renegades..... Oilers colors, but another boring/generic "Wild West" style name? I can stomach it. Especially if they somehow play up the tattoo/biker culture in their other logos, and utilize columbia blue and red primarily over black....

mkg74 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well. These nicknames are pretty good and the St Louis nickname won’t win title for stupidest name in all of sports. Sorry! In general I like all the logos. Definitely better overall than the AAF! I’m excited to see the uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sign that the name Hawks itself doesn't work on its own. I agree with this take about the BattleHawks nickname. I have no problem with colleges like St. Joseph's and Quincy that just use "Hawks." But once it becomes Skyhawks, River Hawks, or War Hawks it just becomes a bit overdone. My only excuse for it is that they can refer to the historic St. Louis Hawks identity but without actually stepping on the toes of the current Atlanta Hawks. 2 Quote StL Cardinals - Indy Colts - Indiana Pacers - Let's Go Blues! - Missouri State Bears - IU Hoosiers - St Louis City SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Seattle has a significant Asian population, including Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese communities. I can't think of much direct outreach done with those communities from our existing sports franchises, which is weird because the stadiums are about 2 city blocks away from Seattle's Chinatown. I'm not saying that audience drove the choice of the Dragons name, but I expect it may land well with members of those communities. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
