ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - St. Louis' new professional football team now has a name and logo, following Wednesday's announcement by the XFL. The BattleHawks will take flight in February and there was a mixed reaction on social media as some locals wondered what the connection to the city was.
Judging from the video released by the league, the BattleHawk refers to St. Louis' history in air defense assets with Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. But there's one other secret connection about the logo.
If you turn it upside down, it seems to spell "STL."
The XFL's plan is to make the game more fan centered, faster and exciting.
