Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the United Soccer League started its history in 2011 under the name of the USL Pro. In the hierarchy of the US and Canada system of soccer leagues, it is positioned under Major League Soccer (Division I).
The United Soccer League logo showcases the abbreviation “USL” in a solid sans serif type. What makes it unique is the way it is broken into two parts by a horizontal white bar (or gap).
In 2011–2014, the USL logo looked different. It included the old name of the league, where “USL” was given in green and “PRO” – in dark blue. The “O” was formed by a flying soccer ball, and there was an orange wave on the background.
