The identification crisis of San Antonio’s brand new pro football club has ended.

Spurs Sports and Entertainment unveiled the United Soccer League team’s title, logo design and first player signings yesterday evening in the AT&T Center, dubbing the club "San Antonio FC."

The team explained in a development release the eponymous title “solidifies San Antonio’s hometown origins, and proudly represents the town one of the growing football tradition in the country. FC frequently signifies Soccer Team in groups throughout the world, and particularly in Mexico, Spain and Germany, that are historically connected to the origins of San Antonio together with Southern Texas area.”

The five stripes tend to be meant to symbolize the five limbs for the armed forces — an homage to San Antonio’s “Military City U.S.A” nickname.

The team’s alternative would be to complete its roster before its opening online game against Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Sunday, April 4. The team announced four new signings on Thursday evening: goalkeeper Matt Cardone and midfielder Rafael Castillo, both of whom played the San Antonio Scorpions, midfielder Victor Araujo and defender Max Gunderson. Araujo and Cardone played soccer at Trinity University, and Gunderson played when it comes to University of Incarnate Word.

Today, the group is holding available tryouts. And there are lots of slots to fill.

“Does anyone play center ahead?” SAFC head advisor Darren Powell requested the group within unveiling.

Here are a few for the social networking reactions from the unveiling, also to the new title and logo design :
