Chicago Red Stars Rebrand as Chicago Stars FC

The Chicago Red Stars, a founding member of the NWSL, will rebrand as the Chicago Stars Football Club beginning in 2025. This change follows the club's acquisition by Laura Ricketts and her investment group in a $60 million deal last year. The rebranding aims to honor the club's legacy while marking a new chapter, symbolized by a new crest that retains elements of Chicago's cultural and civic identity. The new identity reflects the club's aspirations to attract top talent and foster a winning culture, emphasizing values like excellence and community pride. The transition will occur after the 2024 season, during which the team will retain its current name and branding. The club's recent successes, including a record-breaking attendance and a playoff qualification, provide momentum ahead of this significant change.
