While the Detroit franchise is still undergoing some design decisions and directions the sixth and final USBL expansion team to join the fray and bring the total teams up to 30 are the Louisville Jockeys. The Jockeys are based in Louisville, Kentucky and classify themselves as an old school old fashioned type of ball club. They Jockeys do not allow facial hair for any of their players and furthermore do not allow any long hairstyles. The Jockeys have payed homage to the Kentucky Derby when coming up with their name and logo. The Jockeys well play and in the newly built Churchill field which is owned by the same group of investors who own Churchill Downs where the famous Kentucky Derby is Hell. Being an old school team the Jockeys only have a white home and gray road featuring a simple color pallet of hunter green and white. Bringing some cohesiveness between the derby and jockeys. The Jockeys will have one of the larger budgets in the USBL even in a smaller market, due to their financial backing. It was once rumored they Jockeys were originally to be called the Thoroughbreds.
