The XFL is four months away, and the league has wasted no time in creating hype around its launch.
On Monday, the XFL unveiled the team names and logos for all eight teams slated to kickoff on February 18, 2023.
The eight teams are:
Arlington Renegades
D.C. Defenders
Houston Roughnecks
Orlando Guardians
San Antonio Brahmas
Seattle Sea Dragons
St. Louis Battlehawks
Vegas Vipers
The XFL had previously revealed the eight coaches, consisting of individuals from the NFL player and coaching ranks. The coaches are Wade Phillips, Jim Haslett, Bob Stoops, Terrell Buckley, Hines Ward, Rod Woodson, Reggie Barlow and Anthony Becht.
Now these men have the marks to rally behind.
“We could not be more excited to unveil our new team identities. Countless hours of creative sessions and collaboration went into bringing these team brands to life. Each team’s identity represents the fabric of their local community while also embodying the XFL’s vision and ethos: they are authentic, dynamic, modern, and unapologetically bold,” said Dany Garcia, Chairwoman and Owner in a statement. “We can’t wait to see our XFL fans representing their favorite XFL teams this upcoming season.”
“Every one of these logos has a unique energy, intensity, and electricity that each team and their fans will bring on game day. Now is the time for our fans to get behind a team – THEIR team – and wear these logos and represent their city with pride,” Owner Dwayne Johnson added. “From the start, Dany, Gerry, and I have wanted to deliver our fans nothing but the best, and it is motivating to see our creative vision come to life. We have our cities, our team identities, and our rockstar coaches. Now we get to fill our rosters with hungry and deserving players that will wear their uniforms with XFL pride.”
Games will be played at Choctaw Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be broadcast on ESPN.
