The Chicago Red Stars of the National Women’s Soccer League will have a new name in 2025 — the Chicago Stars Football Club.
The original name was selected in 2009 to reflect the four red stars on Chicago’s city flag, and the new moniker was chosen and a reimagined crest designed in tribute to club history.
“As the stewards of this club, Laura Ricketts, the ownership group and the leadership team believe it is time to evolve our identity as a symbol of this new chapter,” said Karen Leetzow, club president.
“It is our intent going forward to honor the legacy made by past players, fans and associates, while carving a new path for the club and representing Chicago more authentically on and off the pitch.”
The new crest prominently features light blue and dark blue colors — dubbed Great Lake and Night Sky — to signify the convergence of lake and land. It has a red star in the middle that “represents the club’s players: past, present and future,” according to a club news release.
The Red Stars name and crest will remain in use through the end of the season. The club currently is in playoff position in sixth place with a 10-13-2 record (32 points).
