Soccer is growing in popularity in the United States and it's evident through the development of new leagues and professional teams spreading across the country. It's a few weeks from the start of the 2016 season for the United Soccer League and the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC are ready to kick it off.
The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC organization was founded back in 2013 by Ed Ragain with the support of the Colorado Springs community. As the team was preparing for their start in 2015, the USL struck up a partnership with the MLS, Major League Soccer, to become an affiliate in developing teams. Both leagues operate under the umbrella of the United States Soccer Federation. In 2015, the Switchbacks FC joined 18 other teams in the USL and are awaiting 4 additional teams to join on.
A lot goes into setting up a new sports franchise, from stadium development, logo crest design and firing up a community to become fans. The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC have been doing a lot of work to make the Switchbacks a household name and as part of that have designed some awesome premium clear decals with their crest to show off the team brand. In distributing these clear decals, they are engaging local businesses in Colorado Springs to show their support with the Switchbacks FC crest decal in their store windows and also to have fans put them on the back windshield of their cars.
Sports decals are a great way to get more fans and the community engaged with a team.
