 MISSION & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Mission
Reading United A.C. fosters a love for the game of soccer for all ages, abilities, and genders by enabling access
to local soccer heroes, providing professional coaching, camps and clinics, and developing environments and
partnerships to further the passion for the game.
 
About Us
Reading United A.C. is a premier minor league soccer franchise based in Reading, Pennsylvania that competes in the
United Soccer League’s Premier Development League (USL PDL) -- the top men’s pro-am league in North America.
The PDL is considered the 4th level of soccer (comparable to Single A in baseball terms) in the United States below
Major League Soccer, the North American Soccer League, and the United Soccer Leagues’ Pro Division (USL Pro).
Players have the ability to compete in the PDL throughout the summer months in a professionalized setting while
maintaining their collegiate eligibility. Additionally, current and former professional players can utilize the PDL as a
platform for exposure to the top professional scouts. The league is the proving ground for players who aspire to reach
the highest levels of the game, while providing affordable family entertainment to the Greater Reading community.
Reading United A.C. is the “club-neutral” provider of soccer camps, clinics, and great minor league soccer action.

In 1995 the USL professional team, Reading Rage was formed, with Berks Professional Sports providing the financing
and ownership group for the team. In 2010 Berks Professional Sports charted a new course; refocusing on a
partnership with the Philadelphia Union MLS team, continuing to provide top-level Reading based minor league soccer
(PDL); and serving as a neutral soccer entity in the local market to assist ALL youth clubs, schools, players, coaches,
and parents with soccer education, training, and development.

 LOGO, COLORS, MOTTO

Logo Badge One Color Logo

The Reading United logo and colors incorporate several features tying into local and state history.
The team’s primary colors are charcoal (black), gold, and navy blue. Black and gold are used to
represent the City of Reading, PA (from the City of Reading seal) and the colors of Germania, one of
the first soccer clubs in the Greater Reading area. Navy and gold is representative of the colors of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
 
The team’s logo includes the train icon which pays homage to the fabled Reading Railroad. The
Reading Railroad was one of the first railroads in the nation, with Reading the hub of rail traffic
delivering coal to Philadelphia and the region. By 1871 the Reading Company was the largest
corporation in the world. The train includes several notable features to the soccer community and
the country. At the forefront of the train is a soccer ball, an obvious indicator of the team’s purpose
and focus. Less obvious are the 13 stars (surrounding the soccer ball) representing the original 13
colonies. The shamrocks featured on the train honor the former Reading Rage team captain, general
manager, and coach, Archie Moylan, a native of Ireland. The train is overlaid on a keystone, signifying
Pennsylvania’s moniker as the Keystone State. Reading was also considered a “keystone city” with
its thriving rail, steel, and textile industries providing jobs and goods to the country. The Reading
United A.C. soccer team looks to continue Reading’s status as a conduit to Philadelphia in the form of
player development and transition to the Philadelphia Union Reserve and MLS team.
 
The team name was selected for two reasons. “United” is a suitable name representing the unity that
the team looks to provide for the Reading area soccer community, through its club-neutral camps,
clinics, and other soccer programs. Secondly, United is a “traditional” soccer team name, appealing
to soccer purists in the area. Additionally, the United name ties in with the Philadelphia Union MLS
team and its focus and direction. Finally, the A.C. (for Athletic Club) is used to indicate the club’s
goals of being more than just a soccer team, but also a partner to future athletic programs, using
soccer as the basis for learning and growth.

Motto
Stärke in Der Einheit
German for Strength in Unity. This motto and the German form is used to pay respect to the
significant German history of the Greater Reading area. The team website features this motto in
many languages, furthering our goal of unity and strength through the common language of the
world’s game.

 ARCHIE MOYLAN MEMORIAL

Archie Moylan Memorial

If ever there was a “founder” of the Reading United, it would be Archie Moylan.
After graduating from Penn State and playing with a few professional clubs
throughout the country, the native of Sligo, Ireland chose the Reading area
and approached a few investors to start a USISL D3 team (now USL2) called
the Reading Rage. Under Archie’s guidance as General Manager (and player)
the team quickly rose to the top of the ranks in the USL. Tragically, Archie was
diagnosed with cancer and passed away in 2000. United Soccer Leagues have
established the Archie Moylan Award, which was established to recognize
a member of the USL family who has shown great courage or outstanding
humanitarianism. Additionally, his hometown of Sligo’s Astra League Division
One title has been renamed the Paul ‘Archie’ Moylan Memorial Cup.

Reading United’s logo includes cloverleafs in honor of Archie.
