Hartford Colonials

The Hartford Colonials are a professional American football team based in Hartford, Connecticut that plays in the United Football League. The Colonials play their home games at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The team began as the New York Sentinels for the 2009 season, playing home games in three different New York-area stadiums, including Rentschler Field.

The team's most recent head coach and general manager was Chris Palmer, for the 2010 season, before he was hired by the Tennessee Titans as their offensive coordinator in 2011. Former NFL head coach Jerry Glanville was named as his replacement.

New York Sentinels (2009)
Hartford was one of the six inaugural teams announced for the 2009 season, along with New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco. When the league contracted to four teams prior to the start of the season, Hartford's and New York's teams were merged into one.

The team began play as the New York Sentinels in October 2009, with home games split between Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, New York, and Rentschler Field (one home game in each venue). The league had planned to play at least one game in New York City proper (at Citi Field), but this never materialized, and the proposed game was moved to Shuart Stadium.

Former NFL assistant Ted Cottrell was hired as the team's head coach. The Sentinels posted a 0–6 record and Cottrell was fired following the season.

2010 season
In February 2010, the team moved to Hartford, Connecticut for the 2010 season, a move initially opposed by team owner Bill Mayer. Through an online vote, fans were asked to select one of four names (Hartford Knights, Hartford Guardians, Hartford Travelers or Connecticut Yankees) to become the new team name, or to suggest a name not listed. The new name was announced as being the Hartford Colonials on March 14, 2010. "Colonials" was not one of the four names voters could choose from, but was said to become an "overwhelming favorite" among the fan suggested names. The team's logo and colors were revealed May 24, 2010 to have a blue and metallic gold scheme, the first of the UFL teams to have broken from the league's standardized color scheme.

Northland AEG, L.L.C., the operators of Rentschler Field, purchased a stake in the franchise upon the team's arrival in Hartford, though exactly what size share the company owns is unknown.

The team also hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Chris Palmer to be their head coach and general manager.

The Colonials became the first UFL team to agree to broadcast their games on radio; games will aired WPOP. They were also the first to sign a deal with a regional sports network, with two of the Colonials' games carried on New England Sports Network.

2011 season
Palmer departed after the 2010 season to take the role of offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans of the NFL. In March 2011, the league named Jerry Glanville as the Colonials' head coach for the 2011 season. An agreement has not yet been secured for the team to return to Rentschler Field until June 2011; unpaid debts and a change in stadium management held up negotiations. The Colonials reached a deal with Rentschler Field in late June 2011.
