Orange Belt Grovers

Orange Belt Grovers

Concept for club branding for the proposed USL League One (USL1) team to be based in Winter Garden, FL.

Inspired by the town’s history as a stop on the old Orange Belt Railway and as a key locale in Florida’s historic citrus industry, this branding concept produces a name with European football style, but a uniquely Floridian flair. Complete with citrus-inspired kit designs and a mascot – “Grover”, the anthropomorphic orange train conductor.

The crest features the downtown Winter Garden’s centerpiece pavilion building, with the clock set to “4:07”, the area code for Orange County. Below are representations of citrus groves, a citrus blossom, and a locomotive wheel which also doubles as a cross section of an orange.
