The USFL is relaunching in 2022, four decades after the spring football league's short-lived run that featured such stars as Reggie White, Herschel Walker, Steve Young and Jim Kelly as well as future President Donald Trump as an owner.
The new USFL announced Thursday that it will play next spring with a minimum of eight teams and will "deliver high-quality, innovative professional football to fans."
Although the teams, cities, head coaches and schedule won't be announced until later, the league said it retains the rights to "key original team names."
The USFL also is using the same red, white and blue stars-and-stripes logo it did from 1983 to 1985.
