Wikipedia - Austin Gilgronis
The Austin Gilgronis were a professional rugby union team based in Austin, Texas, United States. The team was founded in 2017 as the Austin Elite, and competed in Major League Rugby.
History
On September 19, 2019, after extensive polling at the end of the 2019 campaign, the team opted to rename itself the Herd. The logo remained the same although the orange color action was removed indicating a shift away from using orange for the upcoming season. Prior to the 2020 season, Adam Gilchrist and Loyals LLC purchased the team and renamed it the Gilgronis, a reference to a yet-to-be-produced cocktail based on the Negroni, although the eponymous cocktail appears to just be a negroni with a different name. The name was met with significant backlash from fans. Under Gilchrist's ownership, the team's record improved and the team clinched a playoff berth in its 2022 season before being disqualified from the postseason by MLR for "violating league rules". In October 2022, MLR announced that the Gilgronis and the LA Giltinis (both owned by Adam Gilchrist) had been expelled from the league for unspecified reasons. It appears Gilchrist could no longer financially sustain ownership and that the teams have since folded.
The Austin Gilgronis have a strong and passionate fan base, known as the "G-Spot," who support the team at home games played at Bold Stadium. The team's colors are black, green, and white, and their logo features a grackle perched on a rugby ball.
The Austin Gilgronis have a talented and experienced roster of players, including international stars such as Samu Manoa, Zinzan Elan-Puttick, and Frank Halai. The team is known for their physicality and aggressive style of play, which has earned them a reputation as one of the toughest teams in the league.
Off the field, the Austin Gilgronis are committed to giving back to the community through various charitable initiatives and partnerships. The team is also dedicated to growing the sport of rugby in Texas and across the United States, and they work closely with local youth programs to develop the next generation of rugby players.
