Yes but William "Buffalo Bill" Cody had nothing to do with the City of Buffalo... so the name has nothing to do with the city, just a silly connection based on similar name. 

?

I'm just saying most teams names have nothing to do with the city.... Colts? Chargers? Titans? Redskins? Raiders? Rams? Lions?...

 

Just a silly thing to be rubbed about with these names.

Yea but at least there is a connection, no matter how silly, with the name and again...the logo. And I know lots of teams dont have a connection to the city and I think those names stink. Steelers, Dolphins, 49ers, Cowboys...good names. Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets (especially coupled with the Houston Astros) are good names.

 

I just think as a start up team you should TRY to connect to your new fanbase. Im not watching the XFL either way though so overall I dont really care.

I attended a couple Barcelona Dragons games back in the day.  I was in middle school then so I don't remember much.  They played at a stadium that had track and field stuff so you were pretty far away from the action.

 

I watched a little on the TV but not too much. I remember it being quite scrappy, sort of like the AAF and XFL and most other start up leagues. Though they did get a few players who had success in the NFL. Warner being the biggest, but also John Kitna,  Adam Vinatieri, Dante Hall, Brad Johnson, James Harrison and Jake Delhomme.

Some of the logos are alright (Roughnecks, Renegades) but the names are awful. IMO teams should try to make connection to the city somehow. The Wildcats, Dragons, Vipers? Those are so stupidly generic awful names.

Generic, yes.

 

However, these names and logos are considerably better than those absurd names and logos from the first XFL.

I thought the Orlando Apollos was a good name in the AAF

[wppete]

Not impressed ?

[Phil The Thrill]

I am rooting against the XFL only because so many here overrate Doug Whaley

[Nextmanup]

I actually like the names, but none of the logos are very good.

 

 

[PromoTheRobot]

I wonder if McMahon made deals on some of those logos because I smell some copyright lawsuits coming.

 

 

 

...or maybe that's the idea? #freepub

Is this thing going to be another colossal waste of time or what?

 

 

Not for long

[LeGOATski]

Pretty terrible. AAF's were much better. ?‍♂️

[Bevis]

Yuck, they all suck.

I was having a hard time placing the DC logo and why it made sense for the to be the Defenders and have the lightning.  Then I remembered the SAC logo.

OP had like 8 feet of snow in November not that long ago.  Very autumnal.

My Dad was in SAC.

[Mike in Horseheads]

I thought the AAF had a lot to offer and watched. It went poof. I'll skip on another XFL product

cant wait to draft my fantasy team for this

Could be interesting, let's start one up here.

[MAJBobby]

Sitting here watching the XFL Draft as Noise while I am working.

 

Weird Format with Phases. (Skill Positions, OL, Def Front 7, DBs, and an Open Phase) 

1.5 min per pick 10 picks per phase

Snake Draft with a lotto to allow teams to pick where they select in each phase.

 

Seems alot like a Fantasy Football Draft that is run at all the Bars before the NFL Season Starts.

Heard some UB Bulls drafted during the OL Phase

 

Also A couple former Bills with Cyrus Kuandjo and De Beers.

Cyrus Kuandjo

 

So I guess he's been keeping his clothes on in public?

[May Day 10]

Cyrus Kouandjio is a second round pick of the "Guardians" whoever they are
