"The first thing Dany, Gerry Cardinale, and I identified as one of the most important elements for the XFL to succeed was choosing iconic cities and venues for our teams to play in. "

We needed to make sure we were including the most important voices in the room, the fans when making these decisions so that each community could rally behind its chosen team, support, and lift these players and their families. 

The league has been working on cool, new logos and innovative uniforms that reflect the league's dynamic and innovative vision. We look forward to sharing in the electrifying excitement of fans once they meet their new 'hometown team'.

I look forward to seeing you at kickoff." Gerry Cardinale, the founder, and managing partner of RedBird Capital Partners vowed to make the XFL "the best Spring League in the world."
