Local supporters worked directly with the club to help design the crest and select the team’s color palette. According to the team, the final branding elements “are unique to the professional women’s team and distinct from the Columbus Crew, while also embracing the long-standing legacy of soccer in Central Ohio.”

To celebrate the brand unveiling, the organization will host a free fan fest on Dec. 12 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. The event will include live music, interactive activities, and the first opportunity for fans to purchase merchandise featuring the new logo. Tickets for the celebration are currently available.

The NWSL awarded the franchise to Columbus in April. The club is scheduled to begin play in 2028 alongside fellow expansion team Atlanta City FC, bringing the league to a total of 18 teams for that season.

The team will host its home matches at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field and will practice at the OhioHealth Training Grounds on the southwest side of Columbus. Ground has already broken on the new training facility, which is slated to open in January 2028.
