Peyton Manning's new Denver sports team picks name, unveils amazing logo
Our crest tells a story of our city, our identity, and our to see how it all comes together. ✨ Professional women's soccer is coming to Denver. With Peyton Manning on board as a minority owner, the NWSL is set to expand to Colorado ahead of the 2026 season. The club announced Tuesday that they have picked the name Denver Summit FC, a fitting title for the team set to play a mile high above sea level, not far from the Rocky Mountains. Summit beat out five other contenders in the naming process: Denver Peak FC, Colorado 14ers FC, Denver Elevate FC, Denver FC and Denver Gold FC. Denver Summit was the clear winner in a fan vote. The expansion franchise also unveiled its logo and branding on Tuesday: In separate posts, Denver Summit shared a nod to the Mile High City, and they released an (alternate?) "D" logo that will probably be appreciated by Denver Broncos fans: Peyton Manning's NWSL team has been named Denver Summit. Great branding: Manning joined the Summit's ownership group last month. 'It's a real honor to be part of something so meaningful to the Colorado community,' Manning said in June. 'I'm proud to support the growth of women's sports and excited to help build a club that our city and our state can rally behind.' Manning, who won Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos in 2015, still lives in the Denver area. His younger brother, Eli Manning, is a part-owner of Gotham FC, the NWSL's New York team. You can count on the league leaning into that brotherly rivalry when Denver and Gotham FC face off next year. Denver Summit will play at a temporary stadium in Centennial over the next two years while a stadium is built downtown. The upcoming 14,500-seat stadium is scheduled to open in Denver ahead of the 2028 season. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X! Did you know: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.
