Nickname
St. Louis City SC - The club explained the origin of using “City” as their team name as a result of some good old-fashioned civic pride.

“Our club represents every street, neighborhood and community in the region, standing up for one another”, the team’s official website read. “We are the collective spirit of generations old and young, doers and makers, always looking forward – together. We are America’s First Soccer Capital and we tenaciously embrace our future. This is our club. This is our home. This is our CITY.”

The team received over 6,000 fan submissions according to MLSSoccer.com who echoed the bit about St. Louis being “America’s First Soccer Capital”, later adding that the SC has a double meaning that it could stand either for “Soccer Club” or “Soccer Capital”
