Houston Dynamo: Celebrating 20 Seasons of Passion and Pride

SJ Luedtke chats about the significance of 20 years of soccer in Houston

Houston, Texas – The Houston Dynamo are set to kick off their milestone 20th MLS season, and there’s no better time for fans to rally behind their team. With a legacy built on resilience, loyalty, and an unbreakable bond with the city, this season is all about celebrating what makes the Dynamo—and Houston—unstoppable.

“This season marks two decades in Houston, and we wanted to honor our past while embracing the future,” said SJ Luedtke, Chief Marketing Officer for the Dynamo.

More than just a color, Forever Orange, is a commitment that symbolizes lifelong loyalty to the club, the players, and the city.

“‘Forever Orange’ has been a fan favorite since day one, and ‘Hold It Down’ is the energy our players and supporters bring every match,” Luedtke said.

A motto that represents the unwavering resilience of Houston. Through every challenge, the Dynamo and their fans stand strong together, the 20th Season Crest is a tribute to Houston.

Since 2005, the Dynamo have been a powerhouse in MLS, with a community-driven spirit that fuels their pursuit of greatness. This season, they aim to build on their recent playoff success and push for a third MLS Cup title.

Luedtke described the game-day experience as “non-stop action,” highlighting the passionate supporter section, team mascot Diesel, and even post-game fireworks. “Even if you don’t know soccer, you’ll love the atmosphere—it’s electric from start to finish,” she added.
