Our McKinney retro logo uses Texas’s longhorn and Lone Star motif, emblematic of resilience and independence. The longhorn reflects frontier toughness and agricultural strength, while the star symbolizes pride and Texas Republic heritage. Black-and-white styling recalls barn signage, rodeo posters, and cattle brands, vintage and authentic. The motif bridges McKinney’s dual story: frontier town and suburban hub. On merchandise, it feels timeless and authentic, not flashy, capturing both grit and optimism.
