Say goodbye to Junior Lone Star FC and hello to Philadelphia Lone Star FC, the new brand for the local club formed in 2001.
”After 18 seasons as Junior Lone Star FC, I think this is the right time to make a change so that we can promote our club better to all residents in the City of Philadelphia,” club president Paul Konneh said in a statement. “I only see this as a win-win situation where we recognize the City of Brotherly Love and at the same time keep our heritage intact.”
The Lone Star name, which pays homage to the national team of Liberia, and the red, white and blue color scheme will be kept as part of the rebrand and the club will continue to compete in cup competitions, the National Premier Soccer League, United Premier Soccer League, Northeast Elite Soccer League and at the youth level with U15, U17 and U19 squads.
