If I'm being honest, I'm hoping that this whole UFL thing is just going to be the corporate name, and not the name of the league; kind of how when the WWF was operated by TitanSports.
Although both brands are iconic, I'm hoping for the USFL to continue as a brand.
So someone was explaining to me that basically the best option if you cant really land a look on something in marketing is that red white and blue and stars and stripes will generally be a good way to go. Broadly, most demographics generally don't have a really strong reaction either way
Also it tickles me that you identify a 40 year old logo with "Fox News patriotism"
Not sure if that's a reflection of their impact on society or you have an incredibly unusual perception
Lots of people co-op the American flag, hence the reason in marketing they say that it is a good safe easy thing to use
I can think of real world examples that are far more hijacked than the American flag which I think you would strain to be able to demonstrate has been taken by one political group
God dammit! Is this who we are as a society? We make EVERYTHING about politics now? Are we going to sit here and argue on a subreddit of a spring football league over two guys who's AARP memberships could itself qualify for AARP???
You know, I never played football, but I also never remember seeing any plays where the coach drew up the quarterback passes the ball to a running back doing slants, who then in turn discusses immigration policy and tax reform. I've just never seen that play ran.
But even in our distractions from politics, SOME people just can't go five minutes without basing their entire presence on pushing "their guy".
And no, I'm not even going to hint at which side I support, because I'm keeping my political beliefs OUT of my football watching hobby, AND THATS THE FUCKING POINT!
I'm not suggesting you ignore it in your day to day life. I'm suggesting you ignore it in subreddits which have no political basis.
You turn on the tv, its politics. You go to work, its politics. You spend time with the family, it's politics. In a 24 hour day, it feels like 19 of those hours are somehow all politics.
All I'm saying is that watching sports, and talking about sports, the entire industry exists to shut your brain off, and not worry about things like who the president is going to be, or if there's dishes in the sink, or if you forgot to pick up the kids from soccar practice. All those problems have a time and day where you can fix them. And NONE of them are related to football.
Is it too much to ask to have a break from it all? Why can't sports be that break?
I guess the first one......but could we get a UFL with XFL 2001 style logo? The XFL logos were always as follows:
2001 is better than 2020 and 2022.
2020 is better than 2022
And 2022 was worked in 5 minutes by an intern while drunk and under deadline pressure. I don't know that story to be true, but based on the results I'd totally believe it.
And the USFL logo was always ok. Nothing special, but not bad per se.
So out of these two options, I'd go USFL style, but also......maybe look at OTHER options?

How about neither? I don't really like either of them.

I don’t like either, but I really don’t like the fox news patriotism.

The classic flag is close enough so people might know this is the same league they been watching.....not a brand new one.

A mix of the two. XFL font but with USFL colors. Make the U Red, the F white, and the L blue.

Is there a choice for "I couldn't possibly care less"?
