The Orlando Rage were a short-lived springtime American football team based in Orlando, Florida. This team was part of the failed XFL begun by Vince McMahon of the World Wrestling Federation and by NBC, a major television network in the United States. NBC dropped the XFL concept after the first season ( 2001) due to dismal ratings, and the league folded soon afterwards.
The team colors were reddish-orange, yellow, and white with jersey numbers in a unique jagged font. They played their home games at Orlando's Orange Bowl and were coached by former University of Florida head coach Galen Hall . The team finished their only regular season with a 9-1 record, the best in the league, but were upset in the first round of the playoffs by the 5-5 San Francisco Demons.
