Starting a new thread for this league. Maybe it will get more posts than the AAF thread.
The team names are now out.
Dallas Renegades
Houston Roughnecks (going oilers like logo.)
LA Wildcats
New York Guardians (Wasn't that a team name from Last Boy Scout or something)
St. Louis Battlehawks
Seattle Dragons
Tampa Bay Vipers
Washington DC Defenders

Fair catches will not be recognized, and the kicking team must give the returner five yards of space to recover and return the ball. (This rule is a carryover from the original XFL and is also in use in the CFL; breaching this space will result in a penalty, called no yards in the CFL.)
New XFL Kickoff Formation
The league has an active interest in reviving the kickoffs as an element of the game. (This is in contrast to the AAF, which eliminated kickoffs outright, and the NFL and college football, both of which have imposed rules minimizing the impact of the kickoff.)[44]
Kickoffs will be attempted with teams separated by only five yards, with the two teams not allowed to cross the neutral zone until the returning team touches the ball.
Points after touchdown
The extra point kick will be replaced with a scrimmage play, varying in point value depending on how far the touchdown-scoring team chooses to take the snap from the goal line: a two-yard attempt would score a single point, a five-yard attempt two points, and a ten-yard attempt three points.

I kind of like the Renagades logo but that DC Defenders one is pretty amateur. I would have to think this time they get at least two seasons backed by $500 million and TV deals to have all games televised by Fox and Disney. I still don't understand why McMahon is going down this road again as the risks far outweigh the rewards but it seems like the man is hell bent on trying to make this league work.
The extra point rule is kind of interesting as you can turn a TD into a 9 point possession going for 3 points at the 10 yard line. It will make for more comeback opportunities for sure but I'm not sure I like it as it seems a little heavy handed.
For real. I understand they're going for a more serious tone this time around but with the name Xtreme Football League, at least let the team names and logos have some flavour.

Lol the logos look like ones you use when you create a team or move a franchise in Madden 2006.
It looks like they were all designed by the same guy with no ingenuity whatsover. One of these logos on their own isn't too bad, all of them together make them very generic.
