Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter will be joined by team, local and state officials when MLS Philadelphia reveals its long-awaited identity with just over 10 months remaining before First Kick. Club supporters and soccer enthusiasts are encouraged to join the historic festivities in Dilworth Plaza on the west side of City Hall at the intersection of 15th and Market Streets.

“This is truly a defining moment for our franchise, and we couldn’t be more excited to proclaim our identity to the soccer world and our loyal fans,” said MLS Philadelphia CEO & Operating Partner Nick Sakiewicz. “We’ve created an authentic brand that reflects Philadelphia’s deep-rooted history and the wealth of feedback gathered from our supporters. The arrival of top-flight soccer in Philadelphia is about to feel decidedly more tangible.”

The club recently held a “Fan Vote” campaign enabling supporters to choose among four proposed team names or submit a write-in vote.

“Our team name, logo and colors will shape the foundation of our identity,” added MLS Philadelphia President Tom Veit. “The process of developing our character will continue when we hire a coaching staff, sign players and expand our front office. We’re dedicated to doing things the right way and building an organization that represents the hard work and passion of Philadelphians throughout the Delaware Valley.”

With well over 6,000 season ticket deposits collected to date, the team will also announce ticket pricing for the under-construction 18,500 seat stadium along the Delaware River waterfront in Chester, Pa.Image via Buy
