Dragones de Zacarante (222233) are an American football (soccer) club located in McAllen, Texas, whose home is Arena de los Bravos. The name comes from club owner Everardo Peña who, during his seventh grade year of middle school, cleverly made up logos and names for ten clubs for his Fifa 98: Road to World Cup video game. Light years before hattrick was even created, Zacarante was just a Nintendo video game team.
When hattrick was introduced to Mr.Everardo, among those ten teams, Zacarante just seemed to stand out more and that is how the history of this great sclub came to live on July 16, 2005. Since the franchice name came to life in the year 2000, the logo bears "Fund. 2000" which in english means "Founded in 2000".
The team uniform is crystal blue with red vertical lines. The first kit bore 5 lines, and as upcoming seasons went by, so did the lines, until just 2 remain, as is in the logo. The logo has undergone minimal changes, when the motto "Por Texas" (For Texas) was engraved atop the original logo, same which did not last very long. On October 2005, the Replublic of Texas flag hanging from a golden pole was added on both sides of the logo, which symbolized the Dragones as "Texas' team".
