Yesterday the Pittsburgh Maulers revealed a new look heading into the 2023 season. The update saw the team switch from the nostalgia purple scheme, to the more traditional Pittsburgh colors of black and yellow.
Shortly after, news started circulating that the USFL was planning to host an event at Hall of Fame Villiage the following day. This was in addition to the event planned in Detroit for Thursday.
As expected, the event kicked off at 10:30am ET with a who’s who of presenters. It didn’t take long to get to the big news, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium will officially serve as a northern hub for the 2023 season. The hub will serve as home for the Pittsburgh Maulers and New Jersey Generals.
