I like the use of the font on the jersey. For the format its pretty revolutionary.

Happy to see you like St. Louis' new look. I believe that's who you are referring to?

Have you had a look at Ottawa yet? What do you think of their look?

Ottawa looks good! This is an interesting concept for sure, fun to follow along. Pretty sure Boston #2 is gonna fail however.

Thank you for the thoughts.

Things are going to get interesting in Boston!

The arrival of a second team in Boston is certainly bound to make things interesting.

---Tuesday, January 27 – Boston, Massachusetts
The last three expansion teams have gone by generic names like Manhattan Velo Club, Club de Montreal, and Ottawa Velo Club. Ivers Whitney Adams, who has purchased the newest franchise, will not carry on in this trend. Adams found inspiration for the name of his new team from the building they will compete in. His team will make Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts their home. They will share it with the towns other team, the Boston Checkers. Back in 1742 a weathervane in the likeness of a grasshopper was placed atop Faneuil Hall. The weathervane has become a symbol of the building, a symbol it will now share with velos newest team. Adams has chosen the name Boston Grasshoppers for his new velo franchise. Along with this announcement today he released the logo and uniform designs for the club.
