Colorado's Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) team made a surprising gesture. The National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) awarded an expansion team to Denver. As the new team searched for its name, colors, and crest, the Colorado Summit decided to "pass the torch." Over 50,000 fans were surveyed during the search. The Summit proved to be the most popular name among supporters. The handover paved the way for the NWSL to become the Denver Summit FC. The new soccer club's inaugural season is scheduled to kick off in 2026.

The Summit said the reddish-orange color was chosen because it was intended to "capture the dramatic sunsets seen across Colorado." Colorado Summit co-owner Sal Pace highlighted the decision's collaborative nature and expressed excitement about the frisbee franchise's next chapter. COLORADO'S EXPANSION NWSL TEAM REVEALS ITS NAME, CREST AND LOGO "This is more than a handoff — it’s a collaboration built on respect, teamwork, and growing our Colorado sports community for everyone," Pace said. "It’s a huge honor to see the Summit name live on in professional women’s soccer, and we’re excited to take our fans with us into a new era for Colorado ultimate frisbee." The Colorado Summit released a statement calling the decision a "rare" moment "of sportsmanship." "The partnership represents a rare and refreshing show of sportsmanship in the Colorado sports world — where a team from the fast-growing sport of ultimate frisbee is enthusiastically supporting the rise of Denver’s new professional women’s soccer team — the globe’s most popular sport," the statement read.
