Typically with a new league or franchise you get some of the best figures at the beginning and then when the novelty and curiosity wears off the figures drop. These initial figures are mot high enough to handle much of a slump.

I don’t think the AAF suffers from bad branding, in fact, I think it’s better they’re not associated with the XFL. The XFL will have to overcome their WWE tie-in and past failed league. I think the XFL will be a massive failure.

Nowadays, you can google or find out about any new product or whatever. If someone were truly interested in the AAF, they have ways to find it. Unless it were the AAF presented by the NFL or USFL, I don’t think anything else would make the brand better.
