RENO – Reno 1868 FC unveiled its official crest during a special ceremony at halftime of tonight’s friendly between Liverpool FC U21s and Sacramento Republic FC at Greater Nevada Field.

The crest, created by Brandiose, mixes Reno 1868 FC’s official colors – Nevada Cobalt Blue, light gold and silver grey – with the iconic Truckee River and Sierra Nevada mountains taking precedence over the traditional outlook of Reno as a gambling hub.

“We are extremely excited to continue to unveil our club’s identity based on what our fans have told us they want to see,” said Reno 1868 FC president Eric Edelstein. “This crest will truly resonate with not only our growing fan base, but the entire community as well.”

The crest unveiling comes fresh off the announcement of a two-year partnership Reno 1868 FC and adidas® came to terms with on Monday. adidas® will be the primary brand of merchandise available to Reno 1868 FC fans in the official team shop at Greater Nevada Field, along with being 1868 FC’s official kit provider.

Greater Nevada Field will serve as the host for a regular-season United Soccer League match on June 11 between Sacramento and Real Monarchs SLC. Tickets are still available online for the match.

The uniform and coaching staff will be announced at a later date. For questions, or to discuss special interview or photograph needs, contact Cheyne Reiter at (775) 334-7089 or .
