XFL

WWE XFL is coming to Seattle. I'm 50/50 on it. I don't know how the fans here are going react to this when the season kicks off in Feb. 2020 at C-Link. Coach Carroll is fired up about this.

First things first - will it be capitalized enough to survive beyond a season or two. Everything about my interest flows from there.

They have their own streaming platform, and it's an offshoot of an already profitable business. So they can at least in theory bleed longer than a startup like the AAF. We'll see though, I don't see a sustainable enough market for these leagues to be successful.

So, Seattle Dragons is what they landed on huh? Ok... I guess it's not terrible, but definitely far from great.

It may have a niche here due to the lack of winter sport teams but possibly only until the NHL comes.

I also wonder if the Clink is too big for it? Could be cavernous depending on the interest level or require a severe amount of tarps. It's one thing to sit in the freezing cold of winter for hawks games where the standard is the best of the best.

Another for what would be lower division football in an empty stadium.

I don't get the Dragons name, whats that got to do with Seattle?

Dragons? Bleh

Dragons! Dragons!.... Wait,... D rag ons? I'm not so sure about that name, seem like it has some room for criticism. Or Drag ons. :rumble:

I'm looking forward to it. Another local team to pull for. Bring it on, now to see what the prices are gonna' be.

I love the logo and the youtube video is awesome. :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

I could've done without them ripping off the UAB Blazers logo.

Can we trade names with St. Louis? I'd much rather be the Seattle Battle Hawks... because it sounds ridiculous.

Of the eight teams, I think Seattle won the best-looking logo contest.

The name Dragons took some getting used to, though. Sonics, Seahawks, Sounders, and Mariners are relatively unique and totally Seattle. Dragons, on the other hand, could just as easily have been used by any of the other seven teams. But if we pull off a sweet looking uniform design, I think I can tolerate it.

Yep, the new Seattle Dragons logo instantly reminded of that Sonics logo, which I've always liked, so :2thumbs:

To a lesser extent, was also reminded of the now-defunct World League / NFL Europe team Barcelona Dragons. (The logo looks SO SIMILAR! No, not because of the logo.)
