I believe Epsilon said that because, technically, the Blood Gulch Crew are all that remains of PF, in terms of personnel. Or, he was just stating where they were originally from. The news article refers to the crew as "the Red and Blue troopers from Project Freelancer". It's simply stating their occupation; where they're from; the organization they were apart of. Wash even tells Dr. Grey during episode 12 that the crew were troopers from PF.

It doesn't really have anything to do with starting a new PF. Maybe the crew are just proud of where they come from, despite the all the shit they've been through.
