XFL in San Antonio: The league unveils team names for relaunch

The XFL unveiled the new name of the San Antonio Brahmas as well as the seven other teams that will partake in the league starting in 2023.

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.
