Colors and badge
The club's nickname, colors and crest were unveiled on December 14, 2023. The crest features two stylized birds: a Northern mockingbird and a Scissor-tailed flycatcher (the state birds of Texas and Oklahoma, respectively), standing over a soccer ball. The club colors are identified as magnolia and red; magnolia being a reference to Durant's nickname "the City of Magnolias" and red for the Red River that separates the two states.https://www.texomafc.com/news/2023/12/14/texoma-fc-unveils-club-identity/
