Tyler Littwin started the first-ever supporters’ group for Vermont Green FC as a bit of a joke.
He created social media pages to post memes and graphic designs with the handle “Green Mountain Bhoys”–a name inspired by the Revolutionary War militia from Vermont and a supporters’ group for Celtic FC in Scotland. It wasn’t originally meant to be anything more than a place for Littwin to share his passion and perhaps make people laugh.
When the accounts gained a following, Littwin wondered if the Green Mountain Bhoys should be a real thing. He posted that anyone interested in joining the supporters’ group should attend a meet-up at a local brewery.
