BJ Sands Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I wonder if this is a sign the Fire are getting a new badge as part of their brand refresh. They’re not due for a new red shirt next season. EDIT: They’re getting a new sponsor, so it could be both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A twitter user actually noticed some subtle nods to Cincinnati. The lions tail forms a C. The lions back follows the rough outline of the Ohio River. The lion is divided into seven segments, a nod to the "seven hills" of Cincinnati. (In reality Cincinnati has more than seven hills but its folk lore). Okay...if that was intentional, that's awesome as far as subtle detail goes. If that was indeed their starting point and the resulting diagonal angle around which the rest of this crest was the byproduct, then color me impressed. All that said... I still find this thing sorely lacking. The basic idea of it is simple enough...but why not just use a conventional shield rather than try to shoehorn all that into a soccer-ball-pentagon shape? If nothing else, that would've helped out immensely, considering some of those awkward joins. And what's up with the navy? The royal blue and orange are strong and distinctive enough on their own...I'm guessing maybe it had something to do with merchandising. It'll be interesting to see the new kits when they debut. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my MLS gear has been purchased on deep discount. And because teams change looks so frequently, nothing ever really feels all that dated. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 By the way, the new FC Cincinnati logo is about a billion times better than that Austin FC logo. It shows how you actually incorporate local lore into design. I love it and am looking forward to them joining the league. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the unusual shape, even though it is somewhat squat. Given that MLS gets (rightly, imo) criticized for a design sameyness, I'd rather that than another roundel or traditional shield shape. Sometimes weird is good!

PrimalCookie Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I think the diagonal design and the navy drags down the design. If it was just the lion by itself with F C C or something like that below (like what Liverpool does with the Liverbird on their shirts), it would be one of the best in the league.

It's only because Precourt is in charge, otherwise everyone would be fawning over that :censored:. I think their crest is pretty cool, and I don't get the arbitrary widespread hate it gets.

I really didn't realise there was a typo there. But I still think it's an awful crest. To me it just looks like they threw some random elements together on an awkward, wonky shape.

Adidas requires a combined sale of 100,000 units of primary/secondary jerseys every season to get a third kit. That's a worldwide requirement. No one in MLS even comes close. I still wish they treated MLS differently on that front but it is what it is. Senior Creative at Sporting Kansas City.

tBBP Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I wouldn't expect too different a crest for Nashville SC than what they have now...they seem married to the yellow and navy (thank the Predators), and "record-inspired" roundel. If they actually do come up with something different, it'll be a huge surprise to me. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Although their kit wasnt revealed tonight im hoping the diamond design like on the shirt below is a clue as to whats to come. Mercy Health is the title sponsor on the chest, no word on a shoulder sponsor though.

It doesn’t get included on this chart until the team is actually awarded, which has not yet happened. And Nashville... I’d like to include them, but I don’t think they’ve even unveiled their version of the MLS shield. So I’m waiting until we have more than rank speculation. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
