Harrisburg City Islanders 12th Season

For the 2015 season, a new logo was developed to commemoration of the Islanders' 12th anniversary. According to the press release: "The design was developed to encompass the iconic Pennsylvania keystone; the Harrisburg Capitol building, which serves as the backdrop to the Skyline Sports Complex, and 12 stars, representing 12 seasons as a club and the 12th man on the field [the fans]."[2] Club President, Tiago Lopes believes, “The 12th season of franchise history is a big milestone. This will be a season entirely dedicated to our fans. We wanted to do something to acknowledge and praise them for all the support. This season will be themed “11 and you,” acknowledging what it takes to accomplish wins and titles is the 12th element on the field; the importance of having the fans, partners and the community in support of our team.”[2]
