[edit] History
Queen City FC was started by former professional and college players looking for a side to support in the Greater Buffalo area, with the only high level football played in the area being in Rochester, NY, with the Rochester Raging Rhinos. Queen City FC initially intended to have only a men's side, competing in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), but since since the original planning of the club the organisation has added a youth academy, a Field Hockey club, created an afterschool program in conjunction with the Buffalo Public School system called Kick Smarts, and are planning on adding a Lacrosse club to the ranks.
[edit] Club badge
The logo for Queen City FC was designed using the skyline of Buffalo, New York, and a queen's crown atop of the badge. Buffalo's nickname is the Queen City.
[edit] Supporters
The club's supporters group is known as The Firm.
