bosrs1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This is really nice...This is not...See I was thinking the exact opposite. The FC logo has that bloated look that went out of style 10 years ago, and is far too busy. The SC logo is simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I imagine they'll target this for next year? Were less than a month away till the season, no way Chivas can pull this off in time."New" DC United kit.

GFB Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This is really nice...This is not... See I was thinking the exact opposite. The FC logo has that bloated look that went out of style 10 years ago, and is far too busy. The SC logo is simpler.Here's why I disagree:Yes, the FC badge is busier, but it's not poorly-executed. I like the abstract nature of shield, recognizing the eagle first, then the cresting wave beneath. You only see the lion and the bear when you take a minute to look really hard at it. Yes, the soccer ball looks tacked on and the shield is a little bloated, but the type isn't too bad and the whole thing would look very classy embroidered.While the SC badge is simpler, that doesn't mean it's better. The design is good in theory, but it is train-wrecked by poor design decisions. Instead of having a straight cross with four similar quadrant sizes, they decided to randomly curve the cross in what was already an oddly-shaped crest, creating 4 very different sized quadrants. This problem is compounded by the fact that the icons were all left at the same size. In fact, the one icon that could have been recognizable at the smallest size (the star) has the largest quadrant and has far too much awkward negative space above it. Meanwhile, the icons that needed the most space are now crammed in a tiny corner and lose most of their recognition due to their small size. If anything, they should have rotated the cross and given the star the smallest quadrant and the bear the largest. In addition, the font used in the SC badge is far too modern of a type to use with such a historical and simple badge... Also, the Web 2.0 effects look worse on the SC badge because of the more traditional design. All in all, the idea is fine, but the execution of that badge is simply awful. Give me the badge that is at least an interesting and well-designed abstract illustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 For some reason the image won't post directly, so here's the second teaser for the Fire's new jersey. I say second since the first they posted was just the AdiZero logo, so there's no need to post that. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soarindude Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 speaking of the Sounders,unpopular opinion: The inaugural year kits for the MLS Sounders were the best kits in MLS history by far, and one of the best in modern history.I miss these, as well as the blue away kits.

The white Adidas shoulder stripes are much preferred to the blue. I never liked the blue side patch. I'd say keep the current kit but make the shoulder stripes white and call it good.

Clean franchise history break.Totally agree. Best to just be a new team, with new history, etc. Unless they can work with the owners of the Aztecs to bring them back and then adopt that history as the Sounders, Timbers, Whitecaps, etc. have done.

nas1787 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The article states the club will continue as Chivas USA for the 2014 season, with any rebrand being undertaken by the eventual new owners. Which means those LAFC/SC logos might never make it to the pitch. While a new owner may like the name, it seems unlikely they would not develop their own crest.

White shoulder stripes were an upgrade, but that one is waaay too Adidas-templated for my liking. And I've always HATED the Sounders color scheme. The green isn't bright enough, and the blue would look much better as navy.

MJWalker45 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Columbus has a pic of the shield with the star to the right of it. I'm not getting a good vibe for what they'll be wearing the next two years. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they release a new primary this year?Every club was required to debut one new jersey this season. Hence why Colorado is getting a new primary after only one season.
