BCFC
The Business Casual Football Club, aka BCFC, is a premier indoor soccer club. They currently compete in Houston Sports & Social Club’s Value Winter II League on Monday nights. The club plays at Pitch25, a local east downtown hot spot frequented by many Houston youths.

Consisting of 12 world-renowned marketing experts and creatives, BCFC is regarded as “the invisible bridge” between the first and second floor of the Sunset Office. Every player on the team is the most valuable player. Several of the club’s players even have actual experience kicking a soccer ball on a regular basis — making the club a much-feared double threat.

The team is most well known for their speed and highly effective counter-pressing maneuvers.

Club History
Formed January 2020, Business Casual Football Club is a blossoming indoor soccer club currently playing at Pitch25. The club consists of many multi-sport athletes — basically making the club a team of Patrick Mahomes-esque MVPs.

The team currently holds closed-door practices on outdoor fields at Rice University. Goals are created using gym bags and shin guards when Annie Phalen doesn’t bring cones.

The club, which is based at the Sunset Office, is a very successful spin-off of a heated knockout competition that occurred on January 31, 2019.

Crest
In an effort to find suitable inspiration for their logo, BCFC naturally looked to Real Madrid and Barcelona. The world’s top two clubs are almost eerily similar to Business Casual Football Club, given that they all play the sport. The lower portion features a sport coat as a nod to the now infamous and legendary Sport Coat Tuesday, where office fashion and filmmaking collide — producing one of the century’s most influential and impactful movements. The upper portion is completed with Van Van, which the team one day hopes to get permission to use. The crest floats in a sea of safety green, looking more like a renaissance painting than a “team logo.”  Several opponents have burst into tears upon seeing its beauty, and we know that’s why they were crying because Khalil Abusharekh wasn’t even there that night. It’s no wonder that the team that wears it once lost a game by only single digits.

The club knew that creating a logo of such magnitude and depth would require immense artistic ability. To carry out their vision, they turned to Wendy Chang, critically-acclaimed Houston-based designer and fan of the club since its inception.

Kit
The team uniforms were ordered two weeks after the start of the season, from CustomInk.com. The uniforms are safety green, to deflect the jealous vibes of the club’s opponents and opposing fans.

Rivalry
After a gritty on-field battle on February 17, a rivalry between Business Casual FC and Kicking and Screaming began. In the first rivalry match between the two clubs, Khalil Abusharekh was ejected from the game. While the opponent plays to their namesake, the BCFC team always plays like the sophisticated, world-class competitors they’re known to be around the Sunset office.

Notable Club Moments
In its inaugural season, Business Casual FC has already encountered both groundbreaking accomplishments and heartbreaking moments, including:


 * ·       Competing in a double header
 * ·       Surviving the ejection of Khalil Abusharekh after a heated argument with the referee
 * ·       Sidelining of Annie Phalen, one of the club’s 12 MVPs
 * ·       Gaining the support of local celebrities, including those dudes who were drunk on a Monday night
 * ·       Mastering of 4-4-2 diamond formation
 * ·       Improving goal differential significantly in just 3 weeks
