They will do so in kits featuring a distinct logo that celebrates Lexington, the Horse Capital of the World. It was designed by Chris Payne, who has created a number of football team and league logos over the last few years.
For the Lexington logo, Payne took inspiration from Lexington being known as the Horse Capital of the World. It's dark green with a bright green rampant horse in the center, featuring the team name across the upper and lower part of the design.
“We’ve spent many months working hard to develop the name and crest of Lexington’s professional soccer club, and we have relied heavily on the input and opinions of residents around the region,” said Bill Shively, Owner of Lexington Sporting Club and Managing Partner of iVisionary Capital Partners. “From day one, it has been critical to us that this club represent our region and its people in every way possible, which is why we spent significant time listening to community voices during our branding and naming process. We’re thrilled with the final outcome and hope that our fans and supporters will be, as well.”
Lexington are one of three expansion teams to start playing in USL League One in the 2023 season, together with Fort Wayne FC and a so far unnamed team from Spokane.
