DC's stadium, Audi Field, sits on land that was partially owned by the utilities company Pepco, and there's this electricity sculpture right next to the stadium. The three stars and two bolts are a subtle homage to the flag of the District, which has 2 lines and 3 stars on it. Pretty neat tie-ins, honestly, but definitely a very local-oriented logo
John Leak I’m just saying. Everyone I see on social media is never clear on whether they like it or not. They just say it’s an Oilers ripoff logo. They criticize it for the lack of creativity, but I never heard anybody actually admit to liking or disapproving the logo.
The familiar feeling he's getting is from the Roughnecks using the same colors as the Texans. As far as the nickname goes, there have been plenty of other teams in Texas Sports who've used that or some derivative of, i.e. West Texas RuffNecks.
The L.A. Renegades logo is almost a direct ripoff of the old Oklahoma/Arizona Outlaws logo from the USFL. There's some concept art for a relaunched Tampa Bay Bandits that resembles the Dallas logo closer than the Renegade does.
I can't stop laughing because I'm imagining a half-time show where 30 mascots run onto the field and have a REAL sword fight battle Royale to determine who would become the Battlehawks official mascot
Ok now I want Louie from the blues in armor as the mascot for the Battlehawks, also the way the two ts are connected makes it look like the symbol for pi, you know 3.14, being a reference to the area code for St. Louis being 314
Did anyone notice that Seattle's logo is kinda shaped like an "S"? Also, awesome that you picked NY as the top logo! They're my team by default of the region I live in. I love their colours. Also, with the stripes on the Guardians' logo, I almost see like skyline buildings if you turned the logo on its side.
There's also an esports team, and a junior a hockey team, both called the Renegades that have the same or very similar logos with different colour schemes
I actually think you are 100% spot on with all of these rankings. I am a St Louis battlehawks fan but I think that where they are placed is 100% fair. Nobody is going to top that New York guardians logo. It's absolutely plush!
The Houston Rockets use red and white - The Houston Astros use blue, white and most of all orange - The Houston Texans are red, white and blue. The Roughnecks are kind of a loveletter to the Oilers, but they're more of a modern take with the Texans colors. Which I'm all for.
I was gonna say that the dragon looks like a serpent or a sea monster. Somewhere along those lines, but I definitely agree. Seattle Dragons could use a secondary logo based on your description. Edit: I think this might be a game that a city like Winnipeg or Montreal might enjoy or even football rich cities up there like Regina or Calgary might actually enjoy. I think Vince should have 2 teams play a regular season game just to try it out.
Just so you know - Roughnecks are what you call people that work on an oil rig. That’s why that’s the name. It matches the logo and the city itself. Very personable logo and it looks fantastic
Brush up on geography? How is what I said inaccurate? Wiki - "The DC Defenders are a professional American football team based in Washington, D.C". I have over 20 geography based trivia videos on this channel and am fairly well travelled in North America. I know Washington is a state and a city.
It’s actually the Houston Texans of the NFL who have the Red and Blue color scheme. The Houston Astros color scheme is Orange and Blue. The Houston Rockets color scheme is Red and White
See, everyone in the US just associates DC with the nation's capital. To be honest, I don't think most people know that DC stands for direct current. I sure didn't
6:53 you’re thinking Texans (NFL). Also the oil rig was used by the Oilers (now the titans). With the Seattle Dragons, Seattle’s nickname is the Emerald City so Seahawks (NFL), Sounders (MLS), Mariners (MLB), the old Sonics (NBA), the WNBA and WMLS and more likely tan not the NHL team next year all have green as their color. The dragon is supposed to be more Sea serpant likely than european folktale.
If the stripes are meant to have any particular purpose. I'd say it's a ode to the ny yankees pinstripes. You're hit the top 3 in the mark. Seattle Dragons would have been great for the NHL team. Bettman missed the boat in that one.
how can you put the renegades at 6 and think you can't put it any higher because of not much originality when the roughnecks are basically the houston oilers logo but they are at number 4
That was my first thought. I like watching Pittsburgh Riverhounds I love all things Pittsburgh long story. We get U.S L games free on There You Tube Channel outside of North America. I am Alan I am from Hamilton South Lanarkshire. Scotland
My favorite team is the Wildcats but our logo/team name is just disappointing. You should look at the logos from the original XFL from 2001, the team names are crazy but the logos are much more fun. Houston has the best logo, Texans colors, logo similar to the Houston Oilers (the original Houston NFL team)
REGARDING THE RENEGADES LOGO: 1.) Yeah, it's a slight deviation from the esports organization The Renegades (CSGO, Overwatch, formerly LoL, Vainglory, Super Smash bros, Paladins). Page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renegades_(esports)#Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive 2.) Many say it is straight from EA Sports Create-a-Team default logos. While it isn't a direct copy, you can see the resemblance. Links to PS2 era and PS3 era Madden logos respectively: imgur.com/a/oGHjt imgur.com/a/TgO8A#Bko9lSt The lack of detail combined with it's unoriginality makes this a total dud of a logo. Cool concept (even if recycled forever) yes, but awful execution
Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire. Neil Houston Roughnecks Is basically a complete rip off of The Old Huston Oilers now Tennessee Titans logo & the blue,red & white is the exact same as the Houston Texans N.F.L team & The Huston Rockets used to use that combo back the 90's early 00's. Can you please rank The M.L.R logos that is Major League Rugby. Thank you Neil.

Did you know if you flip the St Louis Battlehawks logo upside down the two wings and sword spell out "STL"? Best logo in the XFL hands down.
(stops video on 8:04) (turns laptop upside down) whoa.
That’s actually pretty cool. I thought the logo was awesome without realizing this, but now it’s one of my all time favorites in sports.
@@SeaScrabbler me turning tv upsidedown
swear on my life everyone knew that dc stood for district of columbia
Tbh I didn't know that
These look like NHL 20 custom logos
I swear I saw the renegades logo while I was making an expansion team lmao
Me to I literally made the renegades lol
I also saw something close to the guardians
Time to make the Roughnecks in Madden 17 and madden 19
Oh yeah I remember that logo from Madden 17 and madden 19
If you put the Battlehawks logo upside down it spells out STL.
MasterMario548 very cool
Very good observation
Neat!
Can you rank the uniforms next?
I could probably do that if enough people were interested in seeing that!
Post2Post Productions I’m definitely interested!!! Also, I believe every team has a secondary logo as of right now, so you can rank those as well!!
Post2Post Productions I’m 1000% interested in that 👍👍
The Houston Roughnecks logo, the oil derrick, is pretty much a copy of the NFL's old Houston Oilers ( currently the Tennessee Titans).
John Leak yeah, am I the only one that doesn’t mind it? I like it.
@@johntitor2761 I've been a fan of the Oilers/Titans since I was 8. (1980)

Honestly I really love the St Louis logo because of the whole STL upside down thing and also because it looks like an SAS insignia lol.
Vipers Logo looks like an eye of a reptile. Do you see it?
I did lol
That sounds good, but I think Tampa Bay should expand Al Lang like they were planning to do and make it a dual purpose soccer/football stadium.
I see it now. Also, The yellow looks like Fangs and the negative space looks the a snake head
It's the Houston Texans that have the red and blue, remember not the Texas Longhorns
HAHA ;)
The Houston Roughnecks logo is based on the Oilers logo from when they were in located in Houston
When DCs logo includes thunder/lightning but has absolutely nothing to do with weather
Thunderbolt and lightning? Very very frightening me
Audi field is part-owned by a electricity company. There's an electricity statue outside the field
It’s something to do with their local history
The stripes on the Guardians’ logo reminds me of ancient Egypt. I’m getting heavy Sphinx vibes there
I get Nashville Preds vibes from the Guardians
LOVE the logo ranking videos! Been to long since we’ve had one.
I like the XFL! I hope this league does very well!! Favorite team is the a Wildcats!
Sportsfan&GamerCA ANA55 go guardians
Wildcats logo is bad
The Isles Kid I really do like the Guardians logo. My number 1. Wildcats is last. So much potential, and they just picked LA
Houston Roughnecks gang
Go Cats!
Wildcats logo was an absolute waste
The best part of this video is that Greenville Swamp Rabbits shirt
:)
1) Go see the old NFL Houston Oilers logo
2) the DALLAS RENEGADES bought the rights for their logo from the DALLAS DESPERADOS.
The L.A. Renegades logo is almost a direct ripoff of the old Oklahoma/Arizona Outlaws logo from the USFL. There's some concept art for a relaunched Tampa Bay Bandits that resembles the Dallas logo closer than the Renegade does.
I’m interested of what u think of the XFL uniforms, you should rank those too 👍
I’m surprised you didn’t comment that LA decided to have another team to have the letters L.A. on the logo like L.A. kings and L.A. FC lol
I just expect it now lol
I can't stop laughing because I'm imagining a half-time show where 30 mascots run onto the field and have a REAL sword fight battle Royale to determine who would become the Battlehawks official mascot
Ok now I want Louie from the blues in armor as the mascot for the Battlehawks, also the way the two ts are connected makes it look like the symbol for pi, you know 3.14, being a reference to the area code for St. Louis being 314
Do the uniforms too! One for color and one for white l!
The Roughnecks' logo is directly a callback to the old NFL's Houston Oilers that later became the Tennessee Titans. Fun fact!
That ea sports logos look exactly likethe rengades
Did anyone notice that Seattle's logo is kinda shaped like an "S"?
Also, awesome that you picked NY as the top logo! They're my team by default of the region I live in. I love their colours.
Also, with the stripes on the Guardians' logo, I almost see like skyline buildings if you turned the logo on its side.
I see some kind of a fleur de lys in the Battlehawks logo
Could you rank the logos of Major League Rugby
There's also an esports team, and a junior a hockey team, both called the Renegades that have the same or very similar logos with different colour schemes
Love the xfl
Thank you so much for doing this i was waiting!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Was just watching custom nhl jersey
:)
I actually think you are 100% spot on with all of these rankings. I am a St Louis battlehawks fan but I think that where they are placed is 100% fair. Nobody is going to top that New York guardians logo. It's absolutely plush!
Thanks for the video you promised! Your Awesome!
The Houston Rockets use red and white - The Houston Astros use blue, white and most of all orange - The Houston Texans are red, white and blue.
The Roughnecks are kind of a loveletter to the Oilers, but they're more of a modern take with the Texans colors. Which I'm all for.
The Guardians also have my favorite logo.
I was gonna say that the dragon looks like a serpent or a sea monster. Somewhere along those lines, but I definitely agree. Seattle Dragons could use a secondary logo based on your description.
Edit: I think this might be a game that a city like Winnipeg or Montreal might enjoy or even football rich cities up there like Regina or Calgary might actually enjoy. I think Vince should have 2 teams play a regular season game just to try it out.
I think the stripes on the Guardians logo is supposed to be the pillars gargoyles usually sit on. Would be fitting in a city like NY
Just so you know - Roughnecks are what you call people that work on an oil rig. That’s why that’s the name. It matches the logo and the city itself. Very personable logo and it looks fantastic
And for obvious reason - couldn’t use oilers
Thanks for the info!
“This team plays out of District of Columbia in Washington” someone needs to brush up on their 1st Grade geography
Brush up on geography? How is what I said inaccurate?
Wiki - "The DC Defenders are a professional American football team based in Washington, D.C".
I have over 20 geography based trivia videos on this channel and am fairly well travelled in North America. I know Washington is a state and a city.
Washington is in the District of Columbia, not the other way around.
I agree New York has the best logo. It invokes both gargoyles and the lions that guard the New York Public Library.
St. Louis is my favorite!
I feel you on the rollercoaster vibe that Tampa’s logo has
Makes me think
Of The Tampa Bay Rowdys
that play in The U.S.L Soccer league.
The logo for Dallas looks like a logo I could use for a created team in CHEL
Love the rebrand, maybe helmets next?
If you look at the Lightning bolts closely, you can see “DC” in them
8. LA Wildcats
7. Vipers
6. Renegades
5. Defenders
4. Battlehawks
3. Dragons
2. Roughnecks
1. Guardians
Just based on logo I picked Tampa Bay as my XFL team lol
You should do the old XFL logos too they are definitely... different
Most football fans will think that the oil derek is from the NFL Houston Oilers not the Texas oil industry. IMO.
Did they have a 4th grader contest come up with the names?
They sound fine to me. It’s not like the NFL doesn’t have basic, generic names as well. Cowboys, Giants, Jaguars, Falcons, etc
There is also the Ottawa renegades logo and name and Calgary roughnecks name. I agree with your ranking list.
When I see the Seattle dragons logo, I picture the Dayton Dragons minor league baseball team.
Battlehawks have to coolest helmets. I'll give them that.
The sword going down the middle of the helmet looks badass
It’s actually the Houston Texans of the NFL who have the Red and Blue color scheme. The Houston Astros color scheme is Orange and Blue. The Houston Rockets color scheme is Red and White
That's the team I was trying to think of
See, everyone in the US just associates DC with the nation's capital.
To be honest, I don't think most people know that DC stands for direct current. I sure didn't
Yeah, that thought never came into my head. I saw DC and just knew it was the capital
USF bulls in tampa have green and yellow
So did the Tampa Bay Rowdies
6:53 you’re thinking Texans (NFL). Also the oil rig was used by the Oilers (now the titans). With the Seattle Dragons, Seattle’s nickname is the Emerald City so Seahawks (NFL), Sounders (MLS), Mariners (MLB), the old Sonics (NBA), the WNBA and WMLS and more likely tan not the NHL team next year all have green as their color. The dragon is supposed to be more Sea serpant likely than european folktale.
Overall pretty solid logos
The Dallas Renegades also looks very similar to the Brooks Bandits in the AJHL
You are right!
It looks like the old Houston oilers of the NFL. Now the Tennessee Titans
Wait was the name post2post productions before.
Finn B it was More Post2Post
Watch the latest podcast on the channel post2post it explains everything
The battle hawks logo looks like the SAS logo ( British Special forces)
I believe The Houston Roughnecks and The Houston Texans have the same color scheme.
Houston Texans kinda have the same colors as the roughneck
Ahhhh yes that's what it is!
Do a rankings of the new MLS jerseys!! Every team got a New Jersey for the 25th mls anniversary!!
The DC logo makes me think of superheros between the DC and the shield , bolts and stars
If the stripes are meant to have any particular purpose. I'd say it's a ode to the ny yankees pinstripes. You're hit the top 3 in the mark. Seattle Dragons would have been great for the NHL team. Bettman missed the boat in that one.
Houston Roughnecks are almost identical of the old Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans).
It is the Houston Texans
Seattle’s. Logo looks like the uab blazers logo
at least the seattle dragons arent in the first four :)
The Tower in the roughneck's logo is an H for houston
STL number 1 for me. Love it.
Um a Neil the Houston Texans football team has blue and red you're welcome 🤪
That’s the team I was trying to think of!
Dude no offense but no one I mean no one else would think of direct current 😂 definitely shoulda been higher
First thing I thought of!
Are you from America
No Canada
Yeah that’s what I thought because anyone from the us would instantly know what that stood for 😂
Finally I’ve waited for this for so long
Look up the houston oilers logo and it will drop your roughnecks one below the renegades
how can you put the renegades at 6 and think you can't put it any higher because of not much originality when the roughnecks are basically the houston oilers logo but they are at number 4
It's just a logo ranking video, not to be taken too seriously. FYI when I filmed this video I was not aware of the Houston Oilers.
NY Guardians logo is very similary to MGM Resorts.
He mentions Busch Garden but obviously doesn’t know that green in Tampa refers to the Tampa Bay Rowdies🙄😂, keep up the good work
Never heard of that team in my life
That was my first thought.
I like watching
Pittsburgh Riverhounds
I love all things Pittsburgh long story.
We get U.S L games free on
There You Tube Channel outside of North America.
I am Alan I am from
Hamilton South Lanarkshire. Scotland

Houston has the best logo, Texans colors, logo similar to the Houston Oilers (the original Houston NFL team)
Ahh yes Texans!
U should do a ranking of the XFL Jersey's
Coming soon ;)
The logos has meaning. DC logo is a old Army Patch.
Got to do more research next time. Love you channel never the less.
This is not an educational video nor was it advertised as such :)
Go battlehawks
Kakaw
The University of South Florida in Tampa also uses green and gold.
As do Tampa Bay Rowdys
U.S L Soccer team.
Would agree!
no one thinks direct current defenders, like what😂
I do!
I do
I thought it sounded like a comic book team 😂 the logo even looks like a superhero shield
Rank Frontier League logos and stadiums
You should do lacrosse logos
Please do NLL... PLEASE
It's already filmed and will be releasing soon.
REGARDING THE RENEGADES LOGO:
1.) Yeah, it's a slight deviation from the esports organization The Renegades (CSGO, Overwatch, formerly LoL, Vainglory, Super Smash bros, Paladins). Page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renegades_(esports)#Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive
2.) Many say it is straight from EA Sports Create-a-Team default logos. While it isn't a direct copy, you can see the resemblance. Links to PS2 era and PS3 era Madden logos respectively: imgur.com/a/oGHjt imgur.com/a/TgO8A#Bko9lSt
The lack of detail combined with it's unoriginality makes this a total dud of a logo. Cool concept (even if recycled forever) yes, but awful execution
That DC description was quite a stretch, cmon man
Wasn't meant to be a stretch. Genuinely my first reaction.
Boo! DC is the best! Simple and awesome!
Dallas logo looks like something on create a team in NHL EA sports games
There goes LA, putting LA in their sports logos again.
Alan Shields
Hamilton
South Lanarkshire.
Neil Houston Roughnecks
Is basically a complete rip off of
The Old Huston Oilers now Tennessee Titans logo
& the blue,red & white is the exact same as the Houston Texans
N.F.L team & The Huston Rockets used to use that combo back the 90's early 00's.
Can you please rank
The M.L.R logos that is
Major League Rugby.
Thank you Neil.
Houston should’ve been called the Oilers, unless the Titans still have ownership of the name
The Adams family and the NFL all have rights to the Houston Oilers name, logos, wordmark, colors, etc.
Do XFL stadium rank
Ehhhh we got some football on post 2 post
