Forest City Cleveland Unveils Fan-Driven Identity Ahead of MLS NEXT Pro Debut
Cleveland Soccer Group unveiled Forest City Cleveland as the city’s new professional men’s soccer club identity, developed with input from more than 3,000 Northeast Ohio fans. The crest centers the 350-year-old Moses Cleaveland sycamore, uses art-deco-inspired geometry and state outlines, and adopts colors drawn from the region’s landscape. The club debuts in MLS NEXT Pro in 2027, launches forestcitycle.com with season-ticket deposits and merchandise, and will roll out a women’s team branding in May along with a slate of 2026 community events to build a unified soccer ecosystem.
