SARASOTA, Fla. - Sarasota Metropolis FC has unveiled its inaugural branding ahead of the 2019 USL League Two. The official announcement was made at the Big Brothers Big Sisters Live Love Laugh Extravaganza, which featured over 100 of the club's supporters in attendance.

Sarasota conducted extensive research before selecting the Sarasota-Bradenton Area as their new home, and it didn’t take long to recognize the strong soccer community from youth clubs to supporter groups like American Outlaws Sarasota.

“Once we discovered the soccer community in the area, we decided to include Metropolis in our name because our commitment to embrace soccer fans in Sarasota and Manatee Counties,” says Victor Young, Club President. A metropolis was considered the mother city of a region in ancient Greece, so we thought it was fitting. Our blue dragon mascot was incorporated from legends regarding the fire breathing protectors of the metropolis. We want to have fun while enjoying amazing soccer matches.
