Meaning and history
2011 — 2015
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.
2015 — 2019
2019 — Today
The 2019 logo has a wide rectangular form. About 2/3 of the top is colored black, the rest is red. The former is where they placed the ‘USL’ acronym, as well as a little ‘2’ inside a red square. The letters of the acronym look thick and bold, and there is a vertical black line going through each of them. The latter section had ‘League Two’ written on it in slimmer, white characters.
