History
The Hamburg franchise was announced in November 2020, as part of the inaugural season of the European League of Football.
In March 2021, ELF announced it has reached an agreement with the
NFL, to be able to use the team names from the days of
NFL Europe. On the same day, it was announced Hamburg will use the name of the defunct NFL Europe franchise
Hamburg Sea Devils. The Sea Devils also introduced their new head coach, former special teams coach for multiple
NFL teams,
Ted Daisher. However, he ended up being released only 3 weeks into the inaugural season, because of "different views and expectations regarding the philosophy and leadership of our team". He was replaced on an interim basis by offensive coordinator Andreas Nommensen.
