TFoA Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 About time. They were basically the Rowdies when it came to everything but the name, so it's good to see that they've got the name to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSox44 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Normally, I'd lament the loss of a "Euro-style" soccer team name.But dammit if Rowdies isn't one of the greatest team names ever.And FC Tampa Bay just sounded dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 They could have at least done a little cleanup on that hot mess of a script.The star above is still ultra-lame, since they're not really the original Rowdies; but at least there's a little more connection now.

pheer Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not to jack the thread, but I was wondering why I hadn't seen anything on the Silverbacks lately. W-T-L record of 4-4-20. That explains it.I am REALLY happy for Tampa fans... One of the most unique brands in all of sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is great to hear. Tampa is a prime example of how a USL team should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I hate the logo. Yaaaawn. It's just a script, no crest or anything. It's not even cleaned up. They really missed a chance at a great update @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really missed a chance at a great updateIt seems to be quite a bit cleaned up, if you look at it compared to this. There is more coming, also – it's akin to when the Strikers released their monogram well before the rest of it. NO GRAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
