Dallas Trinity FC is an American professional women's soccer club based in Dallas, Texas, that competes in the USL Super League (USLS).
History
[edit | edit source]Establishment
[edit | edit source]A team representing the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex was announced in May 2023, along with the founding of the United Soccer League's USL Super League.[1] Private funding for the team was paired with $592,000 from the city to have the team play at the Cotton Bowl, by far the highest-capacity stadium in the Super League.[2] The deal was designed for a two-year term with an option for future seasons.[2][3]
Inaugural season
[edit | edit source]Chris Petrucelli was named the initial general manager and the team confirmed to start play when the league began on August 17, 2024.[4] Scotland's long tenured U-17 coach, Pauline MacDonald, was publicly named the club's first coach in June 2024.[5] Amber Brooks became Dallas's first signing on May 31, 2024.[6]
Adding to the excitement, Dallas Trinity brought in several players who are either from the DFW Metroplex or played college soccer in the Metroplex including: Hailey Davidson, Haley Berg, Allie Thornton, Gracie Brian, Cyera Hintzen, Enzi Broussard, Chioma Ubogagu, Madison White, Samantha Meza, Jenna Winebrenner and Sam Estrada.[7]
Dallas played their inaugural match on August 18, 2024, against Tampa Bay Sun FC. With head coach MacDonald unavailable due to work visa complications, GM Petrucelli stepped in as interim head coach for the game. Dallas dominated much of the match, with Hannah Davison scoring Dallas's opening goal in first-half stoppage time, marking the first goal in club history. However, Tampa Bay equalized in the second half, and despite several attempts from Dallas, the game ended in a draw.[8]
Identity
[edit | edit source]The name and branding for the team was announced on May 9, 2024, with elements inspired by the Trinity River.[9]
Colors
[edit | edit source]Dallas Trinity FC's colors were announced as: (1) sunrise maroon, (2) prairie gold, and (3) live oak green. Their website says: "The colors draw inspiration from the city skyline and the Trinity River, which reflects the vibrant nature of Dallas, as well as local pride and excellence."[10]
Crest and Mascot
[edit | edit source]The club's crest features a Pegasus, and their mascot is a palomino horse named Boots, aligning with the tradition of Dallas-based sports teams such as the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Wings, SMU Mustangs and Texas Rangers, all of which have horse-related mascots or crests. Boots's entrance theme is These Boots Are Made For Walkin' by Nancy Sinatra.
