The Houston Dynamo and Dash announced a rebrand of both teams Tuesday, which involves a slight tweak to the name and logos.
The organization, which owns the Dynamo, Dash and regional youth affiliates, will be known as the Houston Dynamo Football Club. The team will go by Houston Dynamo FC on first reference, and the team’s new logo reflects that moniker.
The name change reflects the evolution the club has experienced since starting as a single team in 2006 and growing into the Dash, youth academies and affiliates as well as fan groups.
“Adding the term ‘Football Club’ to the Dynamo name was an important decision, because it illustrates how much we have grown,” Houston Dynamo FC controlling owner Gabriel Brener said in a press release.
