Final Team Names Prediction List

[MikeMitchell]

One thing to think about too (and maybe this has been discussed already), in addition to wanting to release information/news at times when there isn't much else going on in the sports world, is that you don't want to release too much information so close together. Spread out the coaching hires, spread out the team names/logo announcements if only to keep the league in the news cycle every few weeks. You don't want to announce too much all at once and then go dark for a month or two without any casual fan running into any information/news about the league or teams. A steady stream is the way to go.

Great to be here. Let's have some fun!

That’s spot on. It makes sense.

June and July are going to be ridiculously busy months for the league. From the showcases leading into July. Sandwiched in between that is The entire league being in California, in mid June for the final phase of game testing with The Spring League. There’s also the matter of the league releasing their official rule book. Which VP Doug Whaley stated, will be a short time after the last phase of testing.

It would upset some but it wouldn’t shock me if we don’t get team names and logos until July after the showcases. This two month period is also when the league starts signing players to league contracts.

In a perfect world. The names, logos and uniforms would all debut at the same time. From a monetary and business standpoint. This would coincide with team schedules being announced, and individual game ticket sales starting immediately. Get a jump on it. Start selling week 1 Dallas vs Houston tickets several months in advance. At the same time, you are also selling merchandise as early as possible.

In reality, the names and logos will probably be revealed together, with the uniform reveals coming in late August/September. The uniforms have to be before the draft, and of course for the minicamps that follow. One matter of business not announced yet, is who the league’s official uniform outfitter will be. Their main apparel sponsor. Secondary leagues usually get second level sponsors. The AAF had Starter. The CFL has New Era. Both good companies, but not on the level of Nike, Adidas etc

Under Armour is what I'm hoping for for the outfitter. People will say the XFL isn't big enough to get UA on board, but they also said XFL wouldn't be on FOX & ABC weekly.

If by some you mean "most of the people on Twitter who follow the XFL."

UA isn't about making old-school jerseys. They're more about making weird jerseys like Oregon has. Also when Notre Dame needs a Shamrock Series jersey, UA always dissapoints a majority of the fanbase. Not sure if I want them designing the jerseys.

this mostly the case Auburn is a UA team and they do have a classic look, but I tend to agree about crazy looks take Maryland for example they are UA's Oregon for Nike. Because there ceo went to Maryland.

Tampa Bay Aviators
St. Louis Stallions

Los Angeles Stars
Seattle Force
Dallas Mammoths
Houston Launchers

the XFL Dallas team won't be the Dallas Boomers because it reminds people of Boomer Sooner. Sure, there are a lot of OU alumni in Dallas, but there are also a lot of alumni here from Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M etc. Basically if you went to a university in Texas or Oklahoma that plays Division 1 FBS Football, Dallas is one of the places where alumni would be.

Team names are due out soon. Can everyone submit their final list? Post a prediction for ALL 8 teams. Let's see who gets the most correct. Here's mine:

Earlier this week. XFLinSTL picked 6 out of the 8 XFL team names after seeing the teaser video. Not so fortunate back in May. A clean 0 for 8 here.
