In XFL 1.0 the "X" stood for "extreme". (I posted a gif of Homer to make my point)
I wonder what the "X" will stand for in XFL 2.0, as this is clearly a reboot, and the "xtreme" label seems to have been dropped.
Any ideas or suggestions?

The X is for "Xtra". Extra everything you want, none of what you don't. That's just my thought though.
The Name Prediction Signatures Are Here!:
New York Knights
Washington Guardians-Pep Hamilton
Tampa Bay Sharks
St. Louis Clydesdales-Jim Haslett
Seattle Orcas-Jim Zorn
LA Sabercats
Houston Generals
Dallas Stampede-Bob Stoops

I wonder what will happen when they create a more detailed marketing plan for the league. Will the "X" still stand for "Xtra"?
You might recall in XFL 1.0, the X originally stood for "Extreme", but later it was changed to say that the X didn't stand for anything.

X can’t stand for xtra. I’m sure it will stand for “nothing” before it stands for xtra.

Honestly, I can’t wait to see how they market this league. It will be fun to see how it plays out. The X could end up standing for anything, or maybe they drop the X? Who knows?

X stands for Multiply. This is football multiplied.
