Their team is St. Louis City SC. (The SC stands for Soccer Club).

Their colors are City Red, River Blue, Arch Steel Grey and Energy Yellow.

The team's crest (pictured above) includes a clear nod to the Gateway Arch.

From the St Louis Post-Dispatch on the name they chose:

"You started to see a couple themes," Kindle Betz said about the selection of the team name. " 'City' was definitely a popular word that kept coming up. Once we started building the story behind it, we realized it's a great way to recognize all of the things that are St. Louis. You've got the diverse cultures. The iconic neighborhoods. But also the proud heritage of being America's first soccer capital. Once we started really developing the story, it started writing itself, and we knew City was the name of the team, and we were going to use it to expand how we define this region."

"It became clear for us, too," added Broughton, "that it was pointing toward a future where we are all united as a city by aspirations, growth and cultural renaissance. All have that unique way of trying to be something bigger than a game on a particular Saturday. That felt important."
