Michael Huyghue, United Football League Commissioner has announced the New York franchise as the Sentinels and the team uniforms for the Sentinels’ “Premiere” season will be colors of black, silver and green. The New York franchise was named as “Sentinels” after more than thirty thousand fan entries and interpretation from industry experts and an in-house creative team on what attributes the fans were seeking with their submissions.
Commissioner Huyghue said, “It was critical to us that we took our time in selecting team names that we felt best reflected the local community while simultaneously defining the personality of the team. When selecting a name for the New York franchise, we wanted to pay homage to the individuals who protect the city including the NYPD, FDNY, the Port Authority and so many other dedicated organizations who bravely watch over the city.”
Frank Vuono, COO of the UFL said, “We are extremely pleased with the names selected for all of our teams and the overall ‘Premiere’ season uniform design. Name selection for a new sports franchise can be an arduous process having to take into account the disqualification of many great possibilities due to trademark and copyright infringements. There was a team of experts including Charley Inc., Bendigo Company, GameWear Team Sports, Ron Caruso and Purepartner who assisted in the name selection and uniform design processes and we are grateful for all of their hard work.”
