Why did they choose Yard Goats?

How is it related to Hartford, if at all?

Overall, I'm not a fan of Marvel MLB logos... a little too extreme in general for an old traditionalist like me.
But, hey... beauty is in the eye of the beholder... to each his own... we all have different tastes in art, music and movies... and baseball logos and uniforms.
"Yard goats" is rail-yard slang for the switch engines or terminal tractors that shuttle train cars between different locomotives. The stadium is adjacent to Hartford Yard.

There's an informative article about it here...
