Just because I support a minor league soccer club from Kentucky doesn't erase the fact Hartford and Connecticut have been doomed with minor league sports since 1997. Technically I guess we can say the WNBA is pro? lol
What's wrong with being a minor league state? We are sandwiched between two of the largest major league markets. Both are within driving distance. So we have minor league teams. Who cares? We also have our state university who we follow very closely, some you might even say religiously.
How many fans who attend Minor League games know the affiliated club? I'd say 90-95% of people who go to Minor League games go for the fun environment, cheaper tickets, and ability to watch baseball. What teams do you think acknowledge their affiliated clubs? Most don't do it with their logo or name because affiliations change.
Hartford Athletic doofus. Only outsiders get hung up with the pro sports thing in CT. There are 14 Big 4 pro sports teams within 125 miles of Hartford (compared to 4 for Lou City). It would have been great if the locals were more wrapped up in it. Instead, Bruins fans kept supporting the Bruins, etc.
I have a Whalers flag from the HHOF hanging on my wall 10 feet away from me and said I was a Whalers fan multiple times. You clearly still don't get the context of what I've said.
Last time I checked, Hartford Athletic is a D2 team in USL Championship (equivalent to AAA baseball) which is still minor league.....doofus.
You admitted Lou City is KY's pro team yet you don't give the same credit to Athletic.
Oh, so you play in airport gift shops. So cute.
Pretty sure I said minor league. It's okay if you don't know how to read. You do realize Lou City and HA are in the same league, right?
Sadly they do. I remember a few years ago Whalers fans blowing up social media with photos of the Whalers shirts being sold at BDL. They were acting like they've never seen a shirt before.
Don't take my words out of context. I differentiate between the Whalers, who were original with their sports markering, and minor league teams who couldn't come up with new colors and kick a dead horse.
Most AAA teams and some AA teams. You really should check out the Yankees affiliates.
Well the Goats are stuck with the Rockies for at least the next decade.
On this message board? Please. We got people here who think Kansas will join the Big East.
Nah. Being a fan of a team that no longer exists. Now that's odd.
Who are you even talking too? Do you know? You sound totally #notmad.
Wow! Is it just me or do Whalers fans not know how to read?? Obviously I was responding to your previous comment genius hence why I quoted it.
People with your mentality don't add much to society.
Oh so now we're just gonna ignore the screenshot I posted where I corrected myself? Okay! Please do learn to read. It's embarrassing for a grown adult (assuming you are one) to not know how to read.
I see what you did there. And what about the Pens? They began in majestic powder blue before they conformed to the Borg.

You think a failure to have a logo on sportslogos.net says anything about marketing to an audience in Hartford? I doubt any of the teams listed has sold a single ticket based on that page. In fact, a number of teams listed as current members are defunct or moved to another league.Pittsburgh Riverhounds Logos History - USL (USL) - Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Page - SportsLogos.Net

Yup, unimaginative. Once had their own colors. At least new logo is better than the Hartford Whalers FC.
They don't even upload the Hartford Athletic logo under USL logos. And these guys tend to be on top of sports marketing. Geez.
