The Tulsa Roughnecks are now FC Tulsa. Owners J.W., Ryan and Kyle Craft announced the name change Wednesday morning, December 4. Tulsa's professional soccer club also adopted new colors and crest.
The new colors are gold and white with accents of patina green and black. Their new log features the scissor-tailed flycatcher, Oklahoma's state bird.
“We want the Tulsa community to be the focal point of this club, and it’s our mission to establish FC Tulsa as an ambassador for this city," Ryan Craft said in a news release.
"We know that soccer is Tulsa’s opportunity to establish itself within the global sports landscape.”
