The new Gotham FC rebrand has been created by New York-based designer Matthew Wolff, a New York City native. Wolff has developed iconic crests for several Major League Soccer clubs, as well as other professional clubs around the world.

Gotham FC will retain elements of last year’s updated color scheme. The official colors of the club are Sky Blue, Gotham Black, and Cloud White.

“Today marks a new chapter for women’s soccer in the region,” said Club Chair Tammy Murphy. “We’re making this important change due to our rapid growth and evolution. Our new name reflects our expanding regional reach and captures the relentless determination, unlimited energy, and incredible diversity of the communities we represent.”

“This process is the culmination of a wide-ranging collaboration among our fans, players, front office, and owners” said General Manager Alyse LaHue. “The club has a tremendous history and close relationship with its fans, so it was important we listened and remained completely open minded throughout the process. What emerged is a new brand that is overwhelmingly fan driven, respectful of the club’s past, and representative of a promising future."
