For the west coast, the Seattle Sea Dragon from XFL 3.0/2.0 and Las Vegas Outlaws have a great name and logo and I think it could work very great for the USFL I think the New Orleans Breaker would fit great and the Tampa Bay Banditstampa Bay bandits.
Since the Gamblers got absorbed into the Roughnecks, put a team in Vegas. You can't tell me that Las Vegas Gamblers doesn't sound like a Blitz The League team.
Orlando Apollos would be cool... and I'd also think about getting some of the IP from the 2009-2012 version of the UFL. Specifically the Omaha Nighthawks and California Redwoods.
I'd like to see San Diego get the Breakers, California and surfing thing, maybe the Gamblers in Las Vegas, pretty obvious there, I like the idea of a team in Kentucky and Ohio too, guess those are my 4 picks.
Live in Arizona would love to see the Arizona Wranglers. I just saw one of the real helmets from back in the day at a sports shop it looked awesome. Good name and brand and I think Arizona would support.
Here is my UFL expansion predictions from 2026 to 2028 In 2026 New Team in USFL Conference: Pittsburgh Maulers and New Team in XFL Conference: Orlando Guardians in 2027 New Team in USFL Conference: Philadelphia Stars and New Team in XFL Conference: Chicago Enforcers in 2028 New Teams in USFL Conference: Portland Breakers and Oakland Invaders and New Teams in XFL Conference: Seattle Sea Dragons and Vegas Vipers How does that sound
Tampa Bay Bandits always had a great following. Great fun, great coach and mascot. The vipers never had a chance, they began with two road loses before thier home opener. Not a good way to sell a new franchise. The coach had a fan favorite QB in Flowers,but chose to play an unknown mediocre CFL QB that few had herad of. Then the covid shut down following their only win. Tampa is a hugh football town. If given a fare shake the vipers or the Bandits would be successful.
They could also revitalize one or more of the old World League of American Football franchises: The Sacramento Surge (although they kinda exist as the Stuttgart Surge in the European League) The Ohio Glory, The New York/New Jersey Knights, The Montreal Machine (if they wanted to expand North) The Orlando Thunder, or The Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks (although this might be too easily confused with the Battlehawks). I also didn't include the Riders- since there's already a UFL team in San Antonio.
I feel like for the XFL side Seattle would probably be the easiest pick, they had a great fan base in 2023, their team just had to be on the chopping block, and then the New Orleans Breakers on the USFL side, because they had a pretty decent fan base and they had a great rivalry against Birmingham in 2022 and 2023 it would be great to see that again
Hopefully none. They need to go to clearly better options that are available and quit trying to stick with failing markets and or bring back old markets. Columbus is an obvious choice Louisville is a option sand Diego has a perfect sized venue and is a great option. Tulsa is an option. All 4 of those are clearly better then any old usfl or xfl teams. Only Seattle had good attendance but they should never go play in the seahawks stadium it's to big for spring league just like half the current eye sores the league plays in
I know this would be very unlikely due to name rights and all that, but I'd LOVE a San Diego Fleet comeback! At least have San Diego team, they've deserved one for years. Being from MA, I'd love a Boston based team, but that feels like an unlikely market.
Oakland and San Diego are the best markets available. If Memphis is bad in attendance this year I would rebrand them to the Orlando Apollos or OKC Outlaws
They should just go to a 28 league team in non NFL markets when expanding. 1. Birmingham 2. Memphis 3. Orlando 4. Raleigh-Durham 5. Virginia Beach 6. Louisville 7. Austin 8. San Diego 9. Portland 10. Salt Lake City 11. Omaha 12. Milwaukee 13. Columbus 14. Baltimore 15. Greenville 16. Knoxville 17. Oklahoma City 18. Tulsa 19. Albuquerque 20. Sacramento 21. St. Louis 22. San Antonio 23. Michigan (move to Grand Rapids) 24. Boise 25. Houston 26. Dallas 27. DC
Jacksonville Bulls would draw really well - just use the original colors and awesome helmet logo , they always had big crowds in the 80s - they drew 72k for their first home game and the Jax Jags wouldn't even exist without the Bulls - it could also be a great Rivalry for the SA Brahmas for "Best Bovine" ... Stay out of Oakland for obvious reasons and move the Invaders to San Diego for that new SDSU stadium which would be perfect ... LA won't support a team ... ... NJ Generals would fit great at Rutgers stadium, the Stars would do well in Philly just need a stadium , New Orleans is aching for the Breakers at the new Tulane stadium - and Tampa Bay would love to have Bandit Ball back ... the Wildcard are the Maulers - I think they would thrive in Canton ...
First bring back the LA Express or the LA Wildcats except I would put the wildcats maybe in Sacramento, Fresno or San Diego. Seattle Sea Dragons is a no brainer, but just not until a California team is brought back. Portland Breakers forsure after Seattle and a California team is established I would put a team in Salt Lake City, just because it’s an underrated market nice in the spring. Plenty of facilities available for a team. I’d love to see a team in Oklahoma. Put them in Tulsa and use University of Tulsas field. New Jersey and Ohio are also no brainers Atlanta is my wildcard. I think a UFL team would thrive in Atlanta.
LA didn't have an NFL team for 20 years. They're not going to get a UFL team. The goal in the next year is to keep expenses down. They will likely pick markets closest to existing franchises (i.e., Columbus and Pittsburg to round out an Eastern Division), and maybe New Orleans, OKC, Philadelphia, or Atlanta.
@@peteyoung3124 It was a fucking typo, you imbecile. Leave the house. Find a hobby. Touch grass. Get a job. What worthless pointless existence you must have. But I can tell your mental affect extends to you needing to have the last word, too. So I'll give it to you. What an idiot.
Bring a team to Oakland or better Sacramento…the new soccer stadium is approved and can play at sac state (hornet field) until done ..Sacramento has been a standout in the WLAF the CFL and original UFL …it’s a can’t miss really
The Guardians struggled because the brand wasn’t remotely relatable to the demographic, and the team just plain sucked on the field. IMO, they need to buy the IP from the AAF and revive the Orlando Apollos.
Comment the teams you would like to see return!
For the west coast, the Seattle Sea Dragon from XFL 3.0/2.0 and Las Vegas Outlaws have a great name and logo and I think it could work very great for the USFL I think the New Orleans Breaker would fit great and the Tampa Bay Banditstampa Bay bandits.
@@golem6494 New Jersey Generals New Orleans Breakers Seattle Sea dragons & ohama Nights hawks
Seattle Dragons.
Stars I was season ticket holders in 80s I'm old. Bring them to the link
Since the Gamblers got absorbed into the Roughnecks, put a team in Vegas.
You can't tell me that Las Vegas Gamblers doesn't sound like a Blitz The League team.
I forgot the Oklahoma Outlaws. My apologies
As an oklahoman. I'd love this
Orlando Apollos would be cool... and I'd also think about getting some of the IP from the 2009-2012 version of the UFL. Specifically the Omaha Nighthawks and California Redwoods.
Wish they would bring back the Bandits, OKC Outlaws, LA, Oakland and Portland
Generals should play at Red Bull Arena
Virginia Beach, Raleigh-Durham, Austin, and San Diego
I'd like to see San Diego get the Breakers, California and surfing thing, maybe the Gamblers in Las Vegas, pretty obvious there, I like the idea of a team in Kentucky and Ohio too, guess those are my 4 picks.
I like that you’re placing the names that would actually fit in with the location. If the UFL comes back to NY hope it’s with the Guardians name.
The Portland Breakers at Providence Park would be great.
If they were to do that they could be similar to the DC Defenders
Live in Arizona would love to see the Arizona Wranglers. I just saw one of the real helmets from back in the day at a sports shop it looked awesome. Good name and brand and I think Arizona would support.
Arizona has a huge market.
There's already an IFL team with the Wranglers name. I don't think they'd budge if the money's not good.
New Jersey Generals, Tampa Bay Bandits, Seattle Sea Dragons, Denver Gold
Here is my UFL expansion predictions from 2026 to 2028
In 2026 New Team in USFL Conference: Pittsburgh Maulers and New Team in XFL Conference: Orlando Guardians in 2027 New Team in USFL Conference: Philadelphia Stars and New Team in XFL Conference: Chicago Enforcers in 2028 New Teams in USFL Conference: Portland Breakers and Oakland Invaders and New Teams in XFL Conference: Seattle Sea Dragons and Vegas Vipers

The LA Wildcats and the New Jersey Generals need to come back
Seattle Dragons and Tampa Bay Vipers had fun uniforms
They could also revitalize one or more of the old World League of American Football franchises: The Sacramento Surge (although they kinda exist as the Stuttgart Surge in the European League) The Ohio Glory, The New York/New Jersey Knights, The Montreal Machine (if they wanted to expand North) The Orlando Thunder, or The Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks (although this might be too easily confused with the Battlehawks).

Seattle Sea Dragons and a PDX team!
San Diego makes the MOST sense
I feel like for the XFL side Seattle would probably be the easiest pick, they had a great fan base in 2023, their team just had to be on the chopping block, and then the New Orleans Breakers on the USFL side, because they had a pretty decent fan base and they had a great rivalry against Birmingham in 2022 and 2023 it would be great to see that again
I regret not pickup up season tix for my family at the end of their second run when they made the playoffs.
Hopefully none. They need to go to clearly better options that are available and quit trying to stick with failing markets and or bring back old markets.

New Jersey Generals FTW!

There is already a San Antonio Gunslingers team. They play in the IFL (Indoor Football League)
Orlando Apollos the best that should come back
Orlando Rage
Oakland and San Diego are the best markets available. If Memphis is bad in attendance this year I would rebrand them to the Orlando Apollos or OKC Outlaws

Philadelphia Stars; we always support our teams.
Disgrace that most recent version never even played a game in Philly!
Orlando Guardians averaged 10,000 people per game which is great if you compare UFL teams.
This is true haha
Jacksonville Bulls would draw really well - just use the original colors and awesome helmet logo , they always had big crowds in the 80s - they drew 72k for their first home game and the Jax Jags wouldn't even exist without the Bulls - it could also be a great Rivalry for the SA Brahmas for "Best Bovine" ...

... NJ Generals would fit great at Rutgers stadium, the Stars would do well in Philly just need a stadium , New Orleans is aching for the Breakers at the new Tulane stadium - and Tampa Bay would love to have Bandit Ball back ... the Wildcard are the Maulers - I think they would thrive in Canton ...
Oakland Invaders should along with Seattle
I hope we can get all of them back at somepoint. The UFL has the potential to be a really awesome league if they get all the teams and then add more.
If the New Jersey Generals come back they need to play at SHI Stadium home to Rutgers University Football team
NJ Generals and Oakland Invaders...🏈
New York guardians
New Orleans Breakers and Seattle Dragons
Portland has a more suitable stadium and it's a cheaper market
NEED A TEAM IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND OMAHA NEBRASKA.
If they had a team in Austin Texas they could play at Q2 Stadium and where the hell are they going to play at in Omaha
First bring back the LA Express or the LA Wildcats except I would put the wildcats maybe in Sacramento, Fresno or San Diego.
Seattle Sea Dragons is a no brainer, but just not until a California team is brought back.
Portland Breakers forsure after Seattle and a California team is established
I would put a team in Salt Lake City, just because it’s an underrated market nice in the spring. Plenty of facilities available for a team.
I’d love to see a team in Oklahoma. Put them in Tulsa and use University of Tulsas field.
New Jersey and Ohio are also no brainers
Atlanta is my wildcard. I think a UFL team would thrive in Atlanta.

*Pittsburgh
@@peteyoung3124 Pedantic.
@johnnyblood2 it's a major US city that's simple to spell correctly, especially when it's on national TV for football every week.
@@peteyoung3124 It was a fucking typo, you imbecile. Leave the house. Find a hobby. Touch grass. Get a job. What worthless pointless existence you must have. But I can tell your mental affect extends to you needing to have the last word, too. So I'll give it to you. What an idiot.
San Diego Wildcats those fans will get behind that team 🏈
Seattle Sea Dragons & New Orleans Breakers! ^^
Definitely Seattle sea dragons
Bring a team to Oakland or better Sacramento…the new soccer stadium is approved and can play at sac state (hornet field) until done ..Sacramento has been a standout in the WLAF the CFL and original UFL …it’s a can’t miss really
they gotta bring back the new jersey generals
they gotta bring back the salt lake stallions from the 2018 AAF league
Wait what?! Not one mention of the Feds? Washington Federals?
or maybe new team
The New York Guardians needs to come back
Bring back the Dragons , or the Sea Dragons
I'd say Sea Dragons
The gunslinger nickname is now in the Indoor Football League, a better name for a ohio team, is Ohio Glory.
U need to bring back Oakland Invaders
Steve young played for LA express in the early 80's before going to the NFL with TB
And Jim Kelly played for the Houston Gamblers in the Astrodome before Buffalo.
I think eventually,every NFL team will have its own minor league team.
