BROOKLYN, N.Y. – The New York Mavericks, one of PBR’s (Professional Bull Riders) newest teams, today revealed their official logo and social media handles. As the first professional bull riding team to represent New York, the New York Mavericks are poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing interest and excitement for bull riding in the Northeast and across the country. The announcement of New York’s newest sports team, backed by Avenue Sports Fund, follows PBR’s 17th successful year of the “Unleash The Beast' competition at Madison Square Garden.

“New York City embodies the Maverick spirit like no other, with its relentless energy and unyielding determination,” said New York Mavericks GM Chris Pantani. “I am thrilled to share our logo which embodies that spirit and the team’s social media channels where we will celebrate and engage the dynamic bull riding fan base that spans the Northeast as well as the passionate international community that calls this city home.”
