I actually really enjoyed the 2020 XFL season that was cut short by the pandemic. I had tickets to go to the game that ended up being the one right after the last game they played before the world quit.
As much fun as it was overall, I still feel like that iteration, and the new one, give Seattle the worst branding of any of the teams. I thought they'd see how bad it was and use the 2023 refresh as an opportunity to fix it. Yet they somehow made it worse. It's like they had a 4th grade class do a coloring contest and picked the winner from that.
I'll still watch and enjoy myself as it's a really fun league with some very interesting ideas on how to fix some of the NFL's shortcomings when it comes to rules and officiating. I also really like their take on the extra points after a touchdown. Way more exciting than an automatic kick through uprights. Basically you get a choice of a few options involving running another non-kicking play. Basically like a 2pt conversion in the NFL:
· Teams will have three options for extra points following a touchdown
· 2-yard line = one point; 5-yard line = two points; 10-yard line = three points
· Replaces the traditional kick, providing teams a chance to score more points and build excitement within the game.
