History

edit

Yebo Yes United was established in 1999 as a development and feeder club to Orlando Pirates.[1] The original club name and logo were conceptualised to reflect an association with South African telecommunications companies that sponsored the club at the time.[citation needed]

Rebranding

edit

On 18 August 2015, the club rebranded to usher in a new era of professionalism. The club moved away from its initial branding concept of The Yes Men to become The Soweto Starlings. The Soweto Starlings concept reflects a tribal greater blue-eared starling bird, above a three dimensional ball framed within a two tone interlinking crest which represents unity.[2]
