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.

2007 3B David Wright .325avg 30HR 107RBI 34SB .963OPS

2019 Little Hero of the Year

Wander Franco has always been able to hit. He hit .325 in 2019 and managed to lower his career batting average. His .339 average was the best among all Florida State Leaguers with 200 or more plate appearances. He did that while being four years younger than the average FSL hitter and a year younger than anyone else in the league. Franco has always had a knack for being his team’s vocal leader. It’s partly because of his talent, but it’s also because of his high-energy personality. He is exceptionally competitive in whatever he does, and he’s comfortable in the spotlight that has followed him ever since he signed as the No. 1 prospect in the 2017 international amateur class. It helps that he’s part of a baseball family-—his older brothers (both also named Wander) are also minor leaguers, and his uncle is longtime major league shortstop Erick Aybar and his friend and neighbor is Indians infielder Jose Ramirez.
