SAN ANTONIO — The new San Antonio XFL team officially has a name--the Brahmas-- as well as a head coach.
The XFL made the naming announcement ahead of the relaunch of the league in 2023. All eight teams were revealed Monday morning including future rivals the Arlington Renegades and the Houston Roughnecks.
The San Antonio Brahmas will play at the Alamodome and new gear to start supporting the team is already available. The new logo features a black and yellow brahma bull, which references Brahman beef cattle and the animal's high tolerance to heat.
Some of the other seven teams previously existed when the league attempted a relaunch in 2020, which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coach Hines Ward-San Antonio Brahmas
Hines Ward joins the San Antonio Brahmas from Florida Atlantic University where he was the Wide Receivers Coach. He has also served as the Offensive Assistant Coach with the New York Jets and as an Offensive Coaching Intern working with Wide Receivers for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He is a 13-year NFL veteran and two-time Super Bowl Champion (XL, XLIII). He was selected in the third round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1998 NFL Draft, where he spent his entire NFL career and is the team’s all-time leader in receptions.
