Nighthawks Win on the Road

There is a first time for everything. The Nighthawks experienced that yesterday, winning a road game for the first time. After a road loss in Las Vegas last week, the Nighthawks came through with a win in Hartford. Omaha won the season series against the Colonials, winning 19-14 yesterday. Quarterback Jeff Garcia threw for 185 yards and 2 touchdowns to carry his team to a victory. The Nighthawks have a bye this week.

Garcia, Nighthawks Win Again

Once again, the UFL's newest team has proven they belong. The Omaha Nighthawks beat the Sacramento Mountain Lions 20-17 on Saturday night. The Nighthawks were lead by former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia, who threw for 198 yards. Garcia has really stepped up and has quickly become the face of the franchise. Garcia wasn't the only former NFL QB playing at Rosenblatt on Saturday. Daunte Culpepper is the quarterback for Sacramento.


The Nighthawks won another close game in front of a sellout crowd, further proving the success of the franchise in Omaha. The Nighthawks travel to Las Vegas to take on the Las Vegas Locos on Friday night.

Nighthawks Are Winners

The Omaha Nighthawks are a winning football team. They proved that Friday night with a close win against Hartford. It the UFL team's first-ever game, the Nighthawks won 27-26 on a game-winning touchdown with less then 10 seconds to go in the game.


Quarterback Jeff Garcia looked good leading his team for the first time. Running back Ahman Green also preformed well in front of his hometown crowd. Rosenblatt Stadium was packed, a sellout crowd of 24,000 on hand to be part of Omaha's new team.

Nighthawks Sign QB Jeff Garcia

The Omaha Nighthawks officially signed former NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia today. Garcia, who spent time with five different NFL teams, will be officially introduced tomorrow at a Nighthawks press conference. Garcia is well-known to football fans, and has enjoyed a good deal of success in both the NFL and Canadian Football League, where he won the 1998 Grey Cup MVP. The 40-year old Garcia is expected to be the team's starting quarterback this season.

Nighthawks Ready to Fly

The Omaha Nighthawks are preparing for their inaugural season in the UFL. Added as the 5th league's 5th team, the Nighthawks are hoping for a great season and strong fan support. Signing former University of Nebraska and NFL running back Ahman Green was a great first step, a move that earned quite a few followers. The team has also reportedly expressed interest in former NFL quarterbacks Jamarcus Russell and Jeff Garcia. Several other former Cornhuskers were rumored to be coming to Omaha.

Of course, the Nighthawks needed to put together an awesome logo set and some sweet uniforms. And, in my opinion, they did just that. Back in early June, I posted the team's new logo set. On July 28th, all UFL uniforms were unveiled. Omaha's set looks great, with a stealth theme to match the team's nickname.


The helmet is black, with a black facemask. The O/Nighthawk logo is on the sides, while the alternate logo is combined with a striping design on the top, down the middle of the helmet.


The home jersey is black with a simple piping design and the logo on the sleeves. The Omaha wordmark is on the chest. The road is a white version. Both are worn with black pants with the Nighthawk logo on the side.


And, for the record, I think the numbers are the coolest part. The outlines look sweet.


The Nighthawks kick off their first season September 24th (also the birthday of a certain Bmac fellow) at home against the Hartford Colonials. Hopefully Rosenblatt Stadium is ready for football!

Oh, and the proposed ticket design is amazing:

Omaha Nighthawks Unveil Logos

The UFL's Omaha Nighthawks have finally released their logo sheet! Here it is. I like the color choice, and the logos look pretty cool. I hope the uniforms look as good.
