FC Dallas’ badge is a large shield with a red outer border, a white inner outline, and a dark navy upper field. The words “FC DALLAS” appear across the top in tall white block lettering, with “96” in silver below. The lower half features a large white longhorn head, red side panels, navy shadowing, a white star near the bottom, and a small red flame shape on the bull’s forehead.

The longhorn is the central visual element of the crest and gives the badge a direct Texas identity. Its wide horns stretch across the middle of the shield, separating the typography above from the red, white, and navy lower section.

The “96” marks FC Dallas’ place in Major League Soccer’s original 1996 era, while the white star reinforces the Texas connection through the state’s “Lone Star” identity. The red flame detail also links back to the club’s earlier Dallas Burn name before the FC Dallas rebrand.

FC Dallas was founded in 1995 as the Dallas Burn, began MLS play in 1996, and later adopted the FC Dallas name. Based in Frisco, Texas, the badge connects the club’s MLS founding-era history with Texas imagery through the longhorn, star, red-white-blue color system, and the “96” date.
