  1. Looking at the list again I just noticed the last one. I can’t believe they’re considering calling them the Brewers! I mean, we have a big brewery, and a good microbrewer community here, but still...
  2. Fun fact: The Scott Gallagher logo was used as the emblem for St. Louis Soccer United, the first serious ownership group dedicated to landing an MLS team in the STL back in the late '00s. Word is they would’ve used that as the crest for the new team if we were awarded the franchise then.
  3. I’ve seen this list floating around as "official," as in, the team would most certainly have one of these names.
  4. If the league is still in the mood to use references from other soccer clubs, Athletic or Wanderers would be a nice fit for the team.
  5. Any word from Sacramento about their identity? We'll be all set once they come up with something.
  6. The way things are looking, they might become a green team, like the USL team. I was an advocate of them wearing brown at one point, but that might be more suitable to the Sacramento club. I've come up with a lot of concepts for this team since the conversation for one first began about 12 years ago, I may say since I first even heard of MLS, and I’ve tried out a wide variety of color combos for this hypothetical team. I’m excited to see how the real thing will turn out, and how close it came to any of my "predictions." I'm a little distraught to hear that their debut will be rolled back a year because of The Cough, but I understand why they have to. I feel a little better knowing that I’ll at least know what they’ll look like soon.
  7. I think I like yours better. It solves all the problems I was having. I wouldn’t have thought of putting the mountain teams in with St. Louis and KC. Putting the Cascadian teams with Northern California was another nice move.
  8. It’s a beautiful flag. I’m guessing the twelve points of the burst is just for aesthetics?
  9. MLS if they implemented division play: EASTERN Metropolitan - NYCFC - NY Red Bulls - New England - Philadelphia - Montreal Southeast - DC United - Charlotte - Atlanta - Orlando - Miami Central - Chicago - FC Cincinnati - SC Nashville - Columbus - Toronto FC WESTERN Midwest - Kansas City - St. Louis - FC Dallas - Austin - Houston Northern - Minnesota - Colorado - Salt Lake - Sacramento - Vancouver Pacific - LA Galaxy - LAFC - San Jose - Portland - Seattle Had a bit of trouble deciding how to sort the western teams. It was between putting MinnU in a division with teams in the Rockies and one on the west coast, or putting the Loons in the Midwest and having to split up either the KC/STL rivalry or the Texas three-way.
  10. I never liked the Atlanta Falcons' '90s uniforms. It drove me nuts that they had no red whatsoever in their helmets, and that they had silver pants for some reason.
  11. Am I the only one who would prefer this as the primary?
  12. I’m surprised they aren’t putting ads on the jerseys, like NFL Europe did.
  13. Okay, I admit it, BattleHawks is kinda silly, but you can not deny that their logo is the best one. It reminds me of the emblem of the British Special Air Service...
  14. The St. Louis metro area includes an important AF base, so that may be how "BattleHawks" came about. But yeah, looks like fans may just shorten that to "Hawks."
  15. The way the Battlehawks look, it seems to suggest that they just use the wings for the helmets, like the Salt Lake Stallions. Wildcats is kinda generic, but would you rather they be called the Xtreme, like last time?
  16. I like to think the name Expos has a second, deeper meaning besides just commemorating an event that happened 50+ years ago. After all, this was the World's Fair. I wasn’t alive yet to see the last WF in the US, but I can understand how big a deal the Expo can be. It’s a celebration of the achievements of the world, and more importantly, it’s a sneak peek into what's to come in the future. When people walk into these beautifully designed pavilions, they’re filled with hope, inspiration, and dreams of a glorious tomorrow. I think that's what the Expos were going for with their image. Never stop dreaming. Never give up hope. Remember the future.
  17. I love this latest version of the Expos logo you made. See, I too am a big follower of the Paul Rand-style movement. Simple shapes, no unnecessary details, just get to the point.
  18. I like it, although I would’ve moved the Sacramento team to Las Vegas. Anybody think MLS would benefit from division play?
  19. I hope they get someone else to do their logos. It’s Brandoise's fault this is even happening. If the Zephyrs never rebranded, or at least not into something idiotic like "Baby Cakes," and alienating their entire fan base, they would’ve stayed in New Orleans, which was their home for over 25 years, might I add.
  20. Love what you did with the Browns. I wasn’t sure if I liked the red in place of orange, but it’s growing on me. So I’m imagining this AU, where the Birds ended up going to Milwaukee, and the Browns stay in StL. That means later on when the Seattle Pilots arrive, they won’t move after one season. The team that would have been the Brewers would have to show up in some other city. Baltimore? Unlikely, if the Senators had anything to say about it. That may have been fine in 1954, but by the 70s? Who knows?
  21. You’re not annoying me. That Ravens concept looks like something I would come up with.
  22. I don't suppose it would be feasible to update the basketball templates for the current styles?
  23. The numbers look better, but it would’ve been nice if they were yellow again. They had yellow numbers for the longest time and then suddenly they switch to white for no reason.
  24. I'm more impressed to see a thread that's lasted for five years without getting locked.
