DC Defenders Primary Logo

The DC Defenders have been a beloved team since their inception in 2020. The primary logo of the team has gone through several iterations over the years, each one reflecting different aspects of Washington D.C.'s culture and history.

The first version of the logo was released in 2019 as part of an announcement that featured former NFL quarterback Cardale Jones as a player for the new XFL franchise. This initial design featured an eagle with wings spread wide, representing strength and power while also serving as a nod to D.C.'s national symbol -the bald eagle- which is present throughout much of its architecture and monuments such as on top US Capitol building's dome or at Arlington National Cemetery’s Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier monument. Additionally, it had three stars above it to represent each branch (Army/Navy/Air Force) within the United States Armed Forces; this highlights how important patriotism is for not just locals but all Americans alike who live in the nation's capital city regionally known simply by 'DC.'

In 2021, when XFL closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacts, DC Defenders decided to redesign their primary logo once again – this time featuring two eagles intertwined together forming a letter ‘D’ shape instead single bird from the previous iteration plus additional golden color added overall image gives off a more regal look than before which signifies importance placed upon football program by local community & organization itself now being member Football League Alliance (FBA). Furthermore, they kept the same three-star motif from the original design along with bold colors red white blue remaining constant in order to show respect towards the country still while modernizing aesthetic appeal to make stand out among other teams FBA competes against regular season after season come regardless of what the future holds these days ahead them both on field scoreboard stands!
