St. Louis City SC Is The Official Name Of The Region's First Major League Soccer Team

Time to add a new team jersey to your St. Louis sports collection — St. Louis City SC.

That’s the official name of St. Louis’ Major League Soccer team. The ownership group, previously known as MLS4TheLou, announced the name, crest and colors during a virtual event on Thursday. The team’s colors are red, blue, white and yellow. The crest contains those colors, playing off the city's flag, and a graphic of the Gateway Arch.

The St. Louis City SC name was selected from a pool of thousands submitted by fans to the ownership group. It beat out suggested names like Lazer Snakes, Kicky McKickertons Football Club and the St. Louis T-Ravs.

The ownership group originally planned to release the team details at a large in-person event in March but switched to a virtual event showing cardboard cutouts of fans due to the pandemic.
