Hartford Blues of the National Football League played only in the 1926 NFL season. They had a record of 3-7. The team was based in Hartford, Connecticut but played at the East Hartford Velodrome, a bicycle track just across the Connecticut River in East Hartford that had recently been built. The Velodrome was an oval with about 8,000 seats around the banked wooden track. There was enough room inside the track to lay out a football field. Their head coach was Jack Keogh who only coached this one season at the professional football ranks.
They played many of their games at home. They did not win a single road game in their only season of play in the NFL. Their three wins came against the Brooklyn Lions, Canton Bulldogs, and Dayton Triangles. They also defeated the Brooklyn Naval Hospital but it is not considered an NFL game so it did not count in the standings.
