XFL unveils its Houston team: The Houston Roughnecks

When the XFL kicks off in February, the Houston team will be known as the Houston Roughnecks.

The XFL unveiled team names and logos for all eight teams in the league Wednesday.

The Houston Roughnecks logo is a bit reminiscent of the old Houston Oilers logo with an oil derrick featured prominently. The team opted to go away from the Oilers' Columbia blue though, and went with a more Texans-like red and blue.

The Roughnecks will be coached by June Jones, who was an NFL head coach with the Falcons and Chargers as well as an assistant for the Houston Oilers and Houston Gamblers.
