{{main article|History of the New York Silverbacks}}
The New York Silverbacks were introduced to the ISFL after the second largest draft class in league history appeared with the [[Season 25 ISFL Draft]]. Unlike past expansion teams GM [[Woelkers]] and [[bwestfield]] made a move in the off-season to get their quarterback of the future in [[Sam Howitzer]] with the {{tf|YKW}}. The Silverbacks swapped picks with the Wraiths in rounds 1, 2, and 4 and giving up a 3rd round pick to get the franchise quarterback. The trades did not stop there as the GMs for New York moved from the 2nd to the 5th and then to the 13th after a trade with the {{tf|COL}} that saw New York get [[Ashley Owens]] and [[Thor Kirby]] while giving up their swapped second and getting back their third. New York believed that in the stacked draft class they could afford to move down spots and it showed as in just their second season in the league the New York Silverbacks were able to make the playoffs, and even the conference championship game.
 
 
The expansion draft worked different for New York than it did for {{tf|BER}} as they had already secured their Quarterback, New York went with a playmaker on defense with their first pick, and secured linebacker [[Jack Banks]] from the {{tf|HON}}. Due to having a solid QB they needed a playmaker and grabbed [[Jackson Kingston]] from the {{tf|COL}} a receiver who had flown a bit under the radar and would end up breaking out for the franchise securing breakout player of the year in his first season with the club. Another notable pick in the draft included corner [[Lord Beerus]] longtime player for the {{tf|OCO}} who the GMs of New York then traded back to them for a fourth round pick and a future third.
 
  
During the [[Season 25 ISFL Draft]] New York nailed some very solid picks, in the first round they grabbed [[Hank Winchester]] the user [[Time Consumer]] a long time user in the ISFL with loads of experience. In the second they traded back with {{tf|NOLA}} and later picked their GM [[Dukburg Quakstak]] netting a 6th round pick. In the third they grabbed future defensive breakout player of the year in [[Bob Roberts]]. This doesn't even begin to cover some of the things later picks such as [[Marlon Alexander]], [[Buster Bawl]] and [[Brick Van Sanzo]] would bring to the team.

==Franchise Records==
 +
{{main article|New York Silverbacks franchise records}}
  
During the Silverback's inaugural season the club managed 4-12, some say this was better than they thought while others argued this looked to be a team destined to go 0-16. While they may not have won a ton of games the Silverbacks were a hyper competitive team in their first year, despite a 4-12 record New York lost 7 of their games by only one possession. Flipping the script on all one possession games New York would have gone 9-7 on the season. Potentially good enough for playoffs in their first season. New York started slow losing many close games, and not securing their first victory until week 11 against the Arizona Outlaws. Despite the team not winning a lot of games there were many positives to the season. Their Quarterback [[Sam Howitzer]] Posted 27 touchdowns through the air to 14 interceptions, a solid rookie season by the face of the franchise. However this stat line is not possible without the assistance of his number one weapon [[Jackson Kingston]] acquired from the Yeti in the expansion draft Jackson really showed he could be the top option if he was allowed to be. Jackson went from 800 yards receiving to 1300 along with a boost from 3 touchdowns the year prior to 15 in his first season with the Silverbacks. Jackson road this statline into his breakout player of the year award at the end of the season to solidify himself among the top WRs in the league. The defense was solid as well coming in third in sacks, third in defensive touchdowns and third in tackles for loss. The secondary needed some work but would flourish into a force in year two of the franchise.
+
==Regular Season - Team Scoring Records==
 +
The New York Silverbacks '''highest points scored''' in a game was [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS40/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=5529 '''69'''-21] a win in week 1 of the [[2055 New York Silverbacks Season|2055 Season]] against the [[Orange County Otters]].
  
During the [[Season 26 ISFL Draft]] New York would continue to work on their young defense that had a lot of positives the season prior. With the second overall selection New York selected standout safety [[Dogwood Maple]] a highly touted safety prospect Dogwood would come in for the team and help them reach the playoffs in just their second season. Along with defensive line prospects [[Makoto Otawara]] and [[Primo Berto]] the New York Silverbacks would improve to be one of the top defenses in the league in terms of points allowed, 2nd in the league, first in their conference. Much of this breakout would stem from their previous draft pick, [[Bob Roberts]] on his quest to earn defensive breakout player of the year. New York also signed highly touted FA running back [[Captain Rodgers]] New York improved on the season and earned themselves a playoff berth and secured the first seed in the conference. A true worst to first story in the ISFL, The Silverbacks went from 4-12 to 9-7 on the season. However due to some wonky tie breakers in the ASFC, as there usually are, New York was not awarded homefield advantage in their playoff game against {{tf|NOLA}} and fell just short of an Ultimus trip.
+
The New York Silverbacks '''highest points conceded''' in a game was [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS35/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=3474 3-'''59'''] a loss in week 3 of [[2050 New York Silverbacks Season|2050 Season]] against the [[Honolulu Hahalua]] .
  
S27 saw a few new faces enter the fold with [[Colt Mendoza]] being traded from Austin for picks + [[Tomage McGuligar]]. Also saw the drafting of [[James Wilkenson]] in the first round. New York biggest change however would be the stepping down of [[bwestfield]] and the appointment of new GM [[zaynzk]]. This season started strong with the silverbacks winning 7 of their first 11 games; however they would love that last 5 costing them a chance of a 2nd playoff appearance.
+
The New York Silverbacks '''highest scoring game''' was a [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS35/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=3512 48-52] win in week 8 of the [[2050 New York Silverbacks season|2050 Season]] against the [[Sarasota Sailfish]].
  
 +
The New York Silverbacks '''lowest scoring game''' was a [https://index.sim-football.com/DSFLS24/Boxscores/3538.html 13-0] win in week 3 of the [[2053 New York Silverbacks season|2053 Season]] against the [[Baltimore Hawks]].
  
The next season was S28 which saw a few names leave the big apple; with [[Ashley Owens]], [[Thor Kirkby]], and [[Steco Oswielder]] all retiring. However their holes where filled by transitional pieces like [[Elijah Torres]] and [[Sandro Ryeu]]. The S28 draft would see a few prospects enter the team; names like [[Mongo]] and [[Brandon Prince]] likely the biggest two to have been drafted that year. Midway through the season New York added young WR [[Tugg Speedman]] who was able to help keep the momentum going. This was a very good New York team that was able to go 10-6 and make the playoffs for the 2nd time in their history. In a highly contested game, it New York lost by 4 points to the [[Austin Coperheads]]
+
The New York Silverbacks have held opponents to a score of zero four times in franchise history:
 +
* [https://index.sim-football.com/DSFLS44/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=3126 0-20] vs [[Baltimore Hawks]] in week 1 of the [[2042 New York Silverbacks Season|2042 Season]]
 +
* [https://index.sim-football.com/DSFLS24/Boxscores/3538.html 13-0] vs [[Baltimore Hawks]] in week 8 of the [[2053 New York Silverbacks Season|2053 Season]]
 +
* [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS41/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=6025 41-0] vs [[New Orleans Second Line]] in week 13 of the [[2056 New York Silverbacks Season|2056 Season]]
 +
* [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS43/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=6854 0-27] vs [[Honolulu Hahalua]] in week 14 of the [[2058 New York Silverbacks Season|2058 Season]]
  
S29 started with two very important moves, with [[woelkers]] stepping down as GM and [[TheRocheLimit]] stepping up to replace him. Also a big trade for [[Keʻokeʻo Kāne-Maikaʻi]] for [[Primo Berto]] and [[Sandro Ryeu]]. This season also saw the departure of [[Elijah Torres]] and [[Jay Kearse]]. New York managed a 10-6 record again however this time the belief was in the air. New York beat [[New Orleans Second Line]] in the wildcard game, and then handled the [[Arizona Outlaws]] in the Conference Championship Game then proceeded to play fellow expansion team [[Berlin Fire Salamanders]] in the Ultimus. New York ended up lifting the trophy, making them the fasted team to win a Ultimus after expansion.
+
The New York Silverbacks have only failed to score once in franchise history: <br>
 +
* [https://index.sim-football.com/ISFLS27/Boxscores/Boxscore.html?id=187 0-19] vs [[San Jose Sabercats]] in week 5 of the [[2042 New York Silverbacks|2042 Season]]
