The League President was William Abbott Witman, the Mayor of Reading, PA and the Owner of the League entry from that City. He outfitted his Reading team in blue-gray uniforms with red-and-blue sleeve shields bearing a white R (reminiscent of the Interstate highway shields found on U.S. roadways today). The team had no nickname but played at the Fairgrounds in Reading. The New York Knickerbockers or Gotham Knickerbockers played at the Bronx Oval, and wore cream-colored uniforms, or white with gray sweater coats, bearing a black NY on the left sleeve. The Richmond Rebels wore a steel-gray ensemble, with matching white sweater coats bearing a black R. The only-known information about the Forest City team in Cleveland is that they issued schedule cards in a light-green color. The following year, however, Cleveland's entry in the fledgling Federal League was called the Green Sox.

Famous quotes containing the word teams:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
