Generals Full name New York Generals Founded 1967 Dissolved 1968 League North American Soccer League Home coloursAway coloursThe New York Generals were a soccer team based out of New York that played in the non-FIFA sanctioned National Professional Soccer League. Their home field was Yankee Stadium. Their colors were gold and green (similar to the New York Cosmos colors) and they were owned by RKO General, then owners of WOR-TV.
Following the 1967 season, the NPSL merged with the United Soccer Association to form the North American Soccer League.
