New Team Logo and Color Unveiled

The Kelly's Heroes have returned to its roots with the new logo that is more inline with the 1970's movie by the same name and which was inspiration for the team name.. 










Notes

Kelly green is now the new color

The shamrock is now the new symbol

For the past 11 season Kelly Clarkson was the mascot for the Heroes. Prior she served as mascot of Team Clarkson before there rebranding in 2009, the Heroes moved in and signed her to a long term contract.  But after she failed as team mascot to deliver a championship over her lengthy time with the team it was time to move on from her. We wish Kelly all the best in her attempts to catch on with another CPL team as nope she get a chance to make it on with another team in 2021 which would be her 15 season in the CPL. 

The established 2006 is not error, the Kelly's Heroes was the name my my team in the 1 year league that 9 of the founding 12 CPL members played in the year before the CPL was founded. The Heroes are one of 3 teams (Mauling Tigers and Rolling Goats are the other two) in the 2006 TSA league that came over name and all. 

A quick look back at the 2006 TSA league that started it all.
