Gimmickry was the common thread among the upstart—and failed—pro football leagues of recent decades. The USFL blazed new trails in gaudy uniform design and with a spring-summer schedule. The Arena League (now on hiatus) took the game indoors. The XFL introduced the world to Huddle Cams, scrums for possession instead of coin tosses and a cartoonishly violent game that dispensed with unnecessary roughness penalties and fair catches.

UFL might be better immediate option than rusting on an NFL sideline

The United Football League announced today that it has partnered with GameWear Team Sports as the UFL’s Official Supplier of Uniforms and Practicewear. GameWear will also offer replica jerseys and will sell UFL licensed products to select retailers nationwide.  GameWear Team Sports designs, manufactures and markets high-end custom athletic team uniforms and sells directly to consumers.

It’s official: After the Las Vegas franchise obtained the exclusive negotiating rights to ex-Bills QB J.P. Losman, the former first-round selection has signed with the team, instantly becoming the United Football League’s marquee player to date.
