the Seasprite was a pretty decent ASW helo.

John, you're showing your age.

Honestly I can't vouch for their quality. They were nearly phased out by the time I served, relegated solely to the few remaining Knox-class frigates still in service.

Can this be marketed?

Or this?

It shall be...


The Yard Goats!

Just announced.

Hartford is now the proud owner of the greatest name in sports! Nothing is better than the Yard Goats!

I actually think this whole thing is great for the city of Hartford. The more development that isn't Uconn-Storrs related the better. They're building dorms for UConn-Hartford at the new location correct? That will be a benefit to the area as well. Would love to see Hartford go after a MLL team and an MLS franchise too, would be great for the city to land that type of entertainment, show it can support it, then go after the big fish of the NHL

Where can I buy the cap? I bought a Biloxi Shuckers cap the day they became available because I liked the name and logo; I expect I'll do the same here. Doubt I'll make it to a game unless I have an interest in a player or team playing there.

Goat is the worst possible thing you can call a baseball player.

It is like naming a team the Chokers.

Goat is also used to declare Greatest Of All time. Just sayin'.

Rockies are demanding that the colors be black and purple.

Hartford says nope...will be brown and orange.

The Rockies have a 2-year PDC and it's only out of necessity as the Rockies were the last MLB team and the Rock Cats were the last AA team left standing during the end-of-year game of musical chairs after last season. We'll call the shots. You'll be splitting after 2016.

Those uni's were odd but that color scheme is beautiful. These might be the best of all time

 

[MattMang23]

Personally I hope they go for these:

ESPN's uniwatch rated them the second worst baseball uniform ever. Fit perfectly with the stupidest team name ever.
