Digby Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That's one of the worst names I've ever heard, and I can't see anything in the logo besides L3. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgco Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Ugh, so much going wrong here! The name is one of the worst I've ever heard. It's an ADJECTIVE. UGGGGGGHH. The monogram is kinda interesting, but it's made of random lines... Why is it split in such a weird way? The roundel is super boring, too. Both the outside and the inside feel super boring and empty. It reminds me of this sadness. The only thing it's got going for it are the colors. Why, oh why, didn't they bring back the Aztex name? That could've made such a cool brand, with Aztec geometric patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I also think the roundel is a bit of a shot at PSV, whose current team is also using a roundel. That 1,2,3 in the B? Is it because they're hoping for third time lucky?

Just spitballin' here, but I'm thinking that the "1,2,3" might be a stylized rendering of the observation tower at the Circuit of the Americas. Frankly, if that wasn't what the graphic designers meant it to be, it is what they should claim they were shooting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 On the bright side, Milwaukee Torrent is no longer the stupidest soccer team name in the country. How are Americans still struggling this bad with soccer names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where they'll play. Only 5,000 seats so it won't affect racing too much. It's also the sleeve sponsor on the jerseys shown today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do sould like MLS 1.0 names but I'd rather they take a chance than go with Athletico Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Bad logo, bad name, bad everything. Really interesting roster construction. A 15 year old local phenom, plus three mid-30's foreign (ex-)stars, plus potentially Usain Bolt . . . all for a USL team in a city that will be getting an MLS team in no time. Very strange.
