New Dallas team reveals name, colors, leadership
The new women’s soccer team that will play at the Cotton Bowl will be known as Dallas Trinity FC. It’s one of eight teams in the new USL Super League, that will also play in the Carolinas, Lexington, Ken., Spokane, Tampa Bay, Washington, D.C., Brooklyn and Fort Lauderdale.
Team colors will be maroon, prairie gold and live oak green. The team chose those colors because they “draw inspiration from the city skyline and the Trinity River, which reflects the vibrant nature of Dallas, as well as local pride and excellence.” Dallas was chosen because of its history of promoting women’s soccer.
In 1973, the Dallas Sting became the first all-girls soccer club in the United States, and the Dallas Cup, founded in 1980, is still the most prestigious youth soccer tournament in the country.
Currently, the Dallas region is home to more girls soccer players than anywhere else in the country, according to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association.
