XFL USFL Merge

S. Samek

Well apparently, The XFL and USFL could possibly merge into one league. I find that a bit surprising. I feel like the USFL is in pretty good shape. It’s lasted two complete seasons with no issues and is sending players to the NFL. I would also like to think that the new XFL was also in decent shape getting through a full season with no issues.

I feel this could go one of two ways. It either makes for one really competitive league with lots more resources to make it sustainable in the long term, or one league pretty much controls everything and swallows up the second like it never existed. I guess we shall have to wait and see.

XFL Logos Announced

S. Samek

The reboot of the XFL is coming and now we have some team names and logos.

Eight squads will strap up for the first year of the league.

The first of these teams is the Dallas Renegades. This is a name and logo I really like.

Second is the DC Defenders. This is another logo and name I really like.

Then we have The Houston Roughnecks. Its a cool name, yet like a lot of people have said prior the logo looks like the Houston Oilers old one.

Forth is the Los Angeles Wildcats. Honestly this is a terrible name. Like really another wildcats name. Like getting something orginal.

Then we have the New York Guardians. Its another unique and well done logo. I like it.

Then we have the St. Louis Battlehawks. Th logo is cool with wings and swords and a silver color. Yet its the Battehawks, another hawk theme name so boring.

Then we have the Seattle Dragons. I don’t kind of mixed on this one. Like its ok,but I feel like they could have thought of a better one. It looks like UAB’s logo a bit as well.

Then last and least is the Tampa Bay Vipers. O boy another snake team. So original.

I think they needed to do a better job with the team names. Maybe go for more local themes. In the case of the Vipers, Dragons,Battlehawks and Wildcats they missed by a mile.

The other four have a little bit of local flair with a decent logo. Not much to complane about there. I personally think the best logo and name combination is the DC defenders. Its go a super hero themed vibe that also goes well with a football tie in. It has a standard DC red, white, blue color scheme and just looks like the most complete set.
