By changing the logo they are signaling a change. Most of the head coaches were available and they passed on them. Rumors are they are leaving the 2 biggest cities and using a central office to run many functions and central players/training for the year in Texas. XFL 2.0 had a 2 year launch window, XFL 3.0 has 1 yr.Firecop wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 1:07 am While XFL 3.0 may compete with the USFL in areas such as talent in terms of coaches and players and even possibly venues and cities; I think their real competition will be with XFL 2.0. When taken in its entirety, the 2.0 version was pretty much an overall success. Red Bird Capital and company, will be hard pressed to improve on the previous model and run the risk of actually diminishing the brand. Hopefully they will bear that in mind and not hyper focus on the USFL and instead, on thoughtfully and strategically striving to make a good product even better.
As MM has stated XFL 3.0 is going to be way diff from XFL 2.0, perhaps less so than they originally thought. Even many of the HC hires are more splash than experienced. It's being run by a team that hasn't done this before and you can expect $$$ will be high.
Sticking with the winter was smart IMO - its got the best chance at ratings. But they did drop two mega TV markets for 2 smaller ones. Time will tell.
