PITTSBURGH (April 9, 2025) — Pittsburgh Riveters SC has its first USL W League honor before even playing a match, as the team’s logo was selected as the Best New Crest of 2025 in a league-run competition that concluded this week.
The Riveters and their Rosie the Riveter-inspired crest triumphed over 26 other new W League clubs by first advancing through two preliminary rounds of fan voting. That placed the team in the final against Sioux Falls City FC, and the Riveters narrowly defeated the South Dakota club by claiming 52 percent of the vote.
The club’s logo was first unveiled alongside the team’s name in September 2024, with the name itself being the result of an earlier fan vote. With that name in mind, the Riveters’ logo was designed as a collaborative effort between the Riveters’ Planning Committee and California-based sports branding firm Brandiose, who applied modern touches and an industrial flourish to the Pittsburgh-rooted Rosie image.
Riveters merchandise featuring the logo has been a hot seller since the club’s September reveal, and new items are being continually added to the Riveters Team Store. The logo will be in game action for the very first time next month, when the team hosts the Cleveland Force on Friday, May 16 at Highmark Stadium. Tickets for the opening match and every home game of the Riveters inaugural season are available now.
