All it needs is Donald Trump to give it the kiss of death. I seriously hadn't heard of this before. Did anyone mention it here?
USFL unveils 8 teams for April 2022 relaunch
Liz Roscher - Nov 22, 2021
The United States Football League is back.
No, you haven't been mysteriously transported back to the mid-1980s, when the league originally existed. The USFL is relaunching in April 2022, 39 years after playing its first season and 36 years after ceasing operations. And on Monday, the reincarnated USFL announced the cities and names for its eight teams.
All teams were part of the original USFL, and are divided into Northern and Southern divisions.
The four Northern Division teams are:
Michigan Panthers
New Jersey Generals (They kept the same name)
Philadelphia Stars
Pittsburgh Maulers (That name scares me)
The four Southern Division teams are:
Birmingham Stallions
Houston Gamblers (Fitting)
New Orleans Breakers
Tampa Bay Bandits (Promotes crime)
All eight teams will play a 10-game schedule based in one city, which the USFL hasn't announced yet. The regular season will be followed by semifinal games between the top two teams in each division, and the winners of those games will play each other for the championship.
“We're excited to take this next major step in the development of a new USFL,” said Brian Woods, USFL president of football operations, in a press release. “These eight teams form the core of our initial league membership and will represent an exciting brand of professional football coming this spring. We look forward to the start of our inaugural season.”
