THE BRANDS
Chattahoochee Football Club
The Chattahoochee River has been at the heart of Columbus and Phenix City since they were founded. Historically, the river powered the textile mills along its banks. Now, the river still provides power, but it also boasts world class rapids and the longest urban whitewater course in the world. The logo of the crossed oars behind the raft-inspired C symbolizes the evolution of the river’s importance to the people of this area.
Columbus Cavalry FC
Fort Moore (previously known as Fort Benning) is a critical part of what makes Columbus the great city it is today. In addition to the infantry, elements of the US Army’s Cavalry call Fort Moore home. The main feature in this crest is a vintage-style soccer ball resting atop two crossed sabers, the weapons used by Cavalry leaders since the 1800’s.
Columbus Classics SC
Every person from Columbus knows that Dr. Pemberton invented his world-famous beverage at his pharmacy on the banks of the Chattahoochee in Columbus. The Columbus Classics logo is meant to pay tribute to this by utilizing a classic font. The water tower and mill silhouette are recognizable to all that have been on the Chattahoochee Riverwalk.
Columbus Rangers FC
The iconic ranger beret is well known around Columbus. This logo, pays homage to the Rangers who have played a critical part in the history of Columbus as well as their sacrifices for our great country. One of those rangers was Colonel Jim Hitchcock, co-owner Michael Hitchcock’s father, who held various positions at Fort Benning from 1986 through 1991. It was his father’s military service that brought Hitch to the Columbus area, where he and JD Hester began their friendship and soccer connection in the eighth grade. We are proud to honor the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment.
Columbus United FC
When Michael Hitchcock and JD Hester began playing soccer together in the eighth grade, their team was called Columbus United. This team won numerous state and tournament titles while calling the dirt field in Bibb City home. Six players from this team would go on to play collegiate soccer. This logo has a retro vibe, with the vintage soccer ball riding on the river into the middle of the letter G in reference to Georgia.
