Myles Dumas ’03 designs crest for Rhode Island FC
Anchor and shield. Amber and blue. Rhode Island’s new professional soccer team’s crest was designed by Myles Dumas ’03, design director at NAIL, a Providence-based creative agency. Rhode Island FC, based in Pawtucket, will compete in the United Soccer League beginning in 2024. Above, Dumas models branded team apparel with his wife, Róisín McGettigan-Dumas ’03, ’07G, and their 2-year-old son, Ruarí. The crest includes colors based on the Rhode Island flag and nods to Rhode Island’s maritime and athletic history. “Pawtucket was a hotspot of American soccer a century ago. I wanted to create something that honored that,” Dumas said. He says that the new team and fan experience will “blow people away.” With art by Dumas, they’ll do so in style.
