Welcome Lehigh Valley Steelhawks

FROM THE MORNING CALL

Prepare to welcome the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks to Stabler Arena next year.

The Lehigh Valley's new entrant in the 28-team Indoor Football League revealed its nickname Thursday afternoon at a press conference at Starters Riverport. The Steelhawks will open their inaugural season in February 2011 and play a 14-game schedule that runs through June 2011. The IFL, which is based in Richmond, Va., features franchises in 16 states.

The Steelhawks' primary colors will be Vegas gold and black, giving them a color scheme similar to the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
