The XFL took their next major step to reach their 2020 season with players reporting to mini-camps for the first time Tuesday. Not only that, but the XFL revealed uniforms for all eight of their teams. Teams slowly unrevealed their uniforms in front of players, coaches, and media. One of the first teams that showed off their new threads was the Dallas Renegades.
New quarterback Landry Jones and wide receiver Jeff Badet came out on stage to remove the cloths from the models of their new uniforms. Those in attendance got to see that Jones will be wearing his signature number 12 while we saw that Badet will be wearing his number 13 jersey for the Renegades this season.
Let’s break down and examine the looks of the uniforms and how it lived up to and exceeded fan’s expectations.

Home Uniform
Let’s first examine the look of the home uniform as the first thing that fans can notice is the XFL decided to go with black as the main color for the body. This is mixed in with the light blue on the shoulders, the sleeves, and the sides of the jersey. The red stripe can be found on the side of the shoulders. The numbers are outlined in white with the main color being light blue and the name of the player on the back of the jersey will be black.
A big thing to note with the jersey is the name of the Renegades, players names, and numbers are all embroidered which has been popular with fans.
The pants for the home uniforms also showcases a black body that included light blue sides and red on the sides as well. The XFL logo has the X outline being light blue and the “XFL” letters being in red.
Away Uniform
The away uniform shows off a mostly white body. The shoulders are filled with black shoulders and red stripes while a black line going down the side of the body of the jersey. There are also light blur cuffs on the jersey as well.
As for the names and the numbers on the jersey, the Renegades name logo found in the front of the jersey is shaded in black. The numbers have a black outline and blue as the main color on the inside. The names on the back are in light blue.
The pants are a solid white that have a black and light blur stripe on the side of the pants. The XFL logo has the big X outlined with black and the inside black. The “XFL” letters are similar to what the home uniforms had with the color being red.
Another key factor to include with both uniforms is that they were manufactured by Custom Outfitters.
Helmet
The helmets are from Riddell that shows fans that the design of it was inspired by their logo. The main color of the logo is their light blue that includes a black facemask. The logo blends in perfectly with the side of the helmets. You can see the big stripe going around the top of the helmet with a thin red stripe going in between the black. The Renegades name logo in the front of the helmet was in a light blue color.
Overall Impression
This demonstrates to me, as well as with the other uniforms, that the league didn’t want to be over the top with the designs, but have something subtle in those uniforms that gets fans excited. I love the fact that they would use the black as their main color for the home jerseys as I would have done the same thing. The black looks slick while the nice blend of the light blue and the small red stripes on both the home and away uniforms really helps with them too.
Nothing would have made more sense than to have light blue as the main color for the helmet as it works with the black and white jerseys. The black and red stripes on the helmets makes a ton of sense and looks good on the helmet. I’m glad the league decided to use Riddell for their helmets are they are one of the best in the business in helmet equipment.
