I'm an extremely casual lacrosse fan but...what are they going for here? It seems like the idea is to eventually become a more conventional league, was the touring model not working? A genuine question- my following of the sport is watching stray TSN NLL games for the most part, but I'm somewhat interested in learning more. I thought the touring model was really intriguing, and this seems to satisfy absolutely nobody- if you've invested yourself in the Whipsnakes but aren't from Baltimore, you're just out of luck? And will two games in your home market a year really do enough to justify the home-ness, if the idea is NOT to sacrifice the touring model forever?

Was at the game on Saturday night (Habs-Bruins) and for the first time in years it felt like a playoff/old time Saturday night vibe. We got robbed of it in '21 and the team has been awful since fans have been back.

Lokomotiv Moscow wear a pretty good ratio of the two.

Came here for the Mooseheads but I'll add:

Fluminense, who of course just won Copa Libertadores.

Damn I am old, I remember pretty much all of them. It'd probably be an unfair situation for him, but I think Bobby Smyrniotis should take the job before he goes to the Canada NT.

CFM sacking Losada is a joke but not unexpected given how short a leash everyone gets. Losada seems like he may be a good coach but he has yet to be given a real chance.

Awesome. Football name/number fonts are a special interest of mine, very cool to see you make a custom one. They've been spot on all series- from the variety in the Iberoliga to this Lega 1 one.

Do you have the means of making any of them available as an .otf?

When he was together he was a phenomenal player but man...what a mess. His tenure in MTL was full of...off-ice issues, hopefully he can get some help and maybe get away from his dad.

My goodness, how often are the Reign going to change hands? Either way, if so hopefully they see this thread and reach out !!

I'm not a big superhero guy but I am a big hockey fan- this is a clever series, good presentation!

I adore this, you are one of the greats on this forum. Are all the league name/number fonts custom ?

One of Pinoe and Krieger will go out a champion, I am not sure who deserves it more.

Man, I love everything going on here. Please release that hockey template, it's a beauty!

I prefer the anchor logo and it's stylised enough that I think it's separate from Toronto.

Beautiful! QLD Cup, NSW Cup and the Championship could absolutely use a full redesign.

MLS's Minnesota United have one of the best aesthetics in all of sport, I'd love to see them here.

We all know that's far too tasteful for Derek Beaumont! That said, a leopard print chevron is probably the meeting point between "good design" and what he hopes for- as satisfying as it was to see them shake up the somewhat stale Super League table, it was impossible to take them seriously in their hideous full face shirts. Good job!

I wanna go back quickly to the Whitecaps x Canucks one 'cos that's a beauty. Is there a back view on it?

I think this is maybe your best one yet- helps to have such a wonderful mascot to go with, good use of space with the type in the shield. Obviously you're the master.

Save for the gradients, what's actually bad about this logo? The font choice and color scheme seem fine, and even though it feels incredibly generic, it's certainly not as bad of a mess as people are making it out to be.

I think the hatred is for three reasons:

1.) The gradients make it instantly look dated- gradients have been over for a few years and the colour scheme feels pretty generic as well.

2.) Lack of local flavour- most of the recent MLS expansion crests have a strong local touch, maybe I don't know San Diego well enough, but this could be anywhere.

3.) Expectation- the Wave have a unique colour scheme and a cool aesthetic, and while the Loyal name was iffy, their colour scheme was also excellent- there was reason to think it'd be somewhat related to one, but instead there's a third, mediocre way.

We say this a lot on this forum, but these are ALL huge improvements- the teal and gold in particular is miles ahead.

Now THAT is a massive improvement, and the shirts are wonderful. Please reach out to them!

Perfect for the Bunnies, he looks really wonderful without the shield.

That's perfect for Saints, whose identity doesn't feel like it represents a club of its' stature.

Thrilled to see this, so rare to see any love given to league in the first place. NRL clubs have decent enough brands but much of Super League could use a refresh (even if that's some of the charm), very excited to see what you do with Catalans!

That ice template is really cool- did you make it yourself?
