Name announced for Austin's new Major League Soccer team

Austin’s new Major League Soccer team has just been announced tonight. 

The team will be called the Austin Futbol Club or Austin FC for short. 

Black and “bright verde” are the Austin FC’s team colors. The Butler Brothers who worked on branding for Austin FC says the logo includes intertwined oaks which work together like they want our team and community to. They say oak trees are something everyone can identify with and that everyone can get behind. Trees are common in MLS culture, there are tree badges in Europe, and the Butler brothers feel it’s timeless. “The 11 leaves are the 11 people on the bench holding them up. We can tell you what this means but people are going to tell you what they want this to mean in their own way.” 

A website will be launched tonight that explains Austin FC further and where fans can interact more.
