The Charlotte MLS expansion franchise scheduled to debut in 2022 announced on Wednesday that its official name will be Charlotte FC.
It also highlighted its newly minted crest, which is a crown to represent its hometown nickname, the Queen City:
Charlotte was originally set to join the league in 2021, but its arrival has been delayed one year by the coronavirus pandemic.
The club will play its home games at Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina. The NFL's Carolina Panthers are the stadium's main tenant. Both teams are owned by David Tepper.
