ExFL unveils new logo

ASSOCIATED PRESS - After months of market research and development, the ExFL, America’s most prestigious fantasy football league, unveiled their new logo at a packed press conference today in the ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel here in Las Vegas. Anticipation was high by those in attendance, and most did not leave disappointed. 

President and CEO of the ExFL, Rich Samuels, was overly exuberant. “I believe this logo does nothing but justice for our fine league,” said Samuels.  “We wanted something that would correctly depict the honor, tradition, and commitment to excellence that our league stands for.  This logo says it all.” 

The cost of creating the logo was not revealed at the conference, but inside sources have indicated that the price tag came to around 3.5 million dollars. 

Reaction on the street was mixed however.  “It sucks!” said 3 year old Jeremy O’Reiley of Chicago, Illinois. When asked to further elaborate, Jeremy replied, “Lima Beans suck, suck, suck!”

“I love it!” said 18 year old Heather Phillips of Greensboro, New Hampshire. “The guys in the ExFL are so fine! I’m going to have their logo tattooed on my ass this weekend!”

“It perfectly captures the secure integrity and spiritual aura of the league,” said Franz Zeppelin from Long Beach, California.  “It moves me in ways I’ve never experienced in an art form impression of this magnitude.  The artistry is sublime, possibly created from an unseen aberrational force that neither you, nor I will ever understand in our short lifetimes on this sphere we call Earth. You dig what um saying dude? Hey Gonzo, pass that thing this way man…”

“What the hell is fooz-ball you sumunna bich?” said Ike Henry of Cave Creek, Montana.  “Get the f**k off my mountain before I blast yer yuppy ass, city boy!”

“I like,” said a Sadam Hussein of Baghdad, Iraq.

Initially, Samuels acted quite confused when asked if he had any concerns regarding a possible lawsuit by Vince McMahon and the former XFL professional football league because of the similarities between the name and logos of the two separate leagues. When repeatedly asked the question again, Samuels officially issued a “no comment” on the subject and directed all further questions to his attorney’s office as he slipped out a side door of the ballroom. 

Large copies of the new logo are available for download by emailing the league at [email protected] . Suitable for computer desktop wallpapering, the logo is initially offered on a trial basis for 30 days, after which it can be bought for $59.95 or 4 low monthly payments of $27.95.
