Gothamite Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This is a bit farther in the future than the rest of this thread, but apparently the two supporters groups looking to bring professional soccer to Milwaukee, Milwaukee Soccer Development Group and Milwaukee Outdoor Pro Soccer Alliance, have joined forces under a new banner:The name, naturally, refers to beer barons.And although it's a fan-driven logo, and wouldn't be used by an eventual club, I think it's good enough to be worth discussion. I always picture blue as Milwaukee's sporting color, but red and black could work well, Certainly unique in their sports/collegiate landscape. The crest is good, a bit Harley-inspired. I do like the gear/ball. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 More "fun" with Orlando's dumbass fan groups.http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-fc-yahoo/chants-threaten-to-mar-orlando-city-s-expansion-season-in-mls-155634368.htmlNot seeing what is very different from several other groups out there.The San Jose Ultras are fond of singing " :censored: on, :censored: on, :censored: on those bastards below!", "We are San Jose Ultras, Nobody can :censored: with us!", and a song about pissing on the Galaxy (which they sing even when not playing the Galaxy which I've always found funny.The Angel City Brigade sing "For you we will go mental"I'm sure I could find other examples. The Orlando supporters don't exactly have a stellar reputation, but this is hardly a thing to single them out on if they're going to be outraged over it.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Picking on Special Olympian is a special low. Unless I'm reading the article wrong. Anyway, that Barons logo is nice, I guess. Sometimes I think American soccer design might be a little too twee for its own good. The logo looks nice, but it speaks more to "these are things I like" rather than "this is a soccer club."You wouldn't add gears and barley and a road sign to an NFL or NBA franchise, so why would you throw the whole deal at a soccer crest? I'd pick one element and go with that. And if it's redundant to another local franchise, maybe you can rethink approach. 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...
Gothamite Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 You would absolutely add barley to a baseball franchise logo. The only thing I like about that current logo, by the way.And yeah. Every sport has its own aesthetic. What works in one doesn't always work in another - very few baseball cap logos would look good on a football helmet, and vice versa.And as for the Orlando City >sigh< Firm, their history is exactly why they're being taken to account now. They were de-recognized for bad behavior just last year, so what they do now is relevant. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

None of which have particularly friendly primary supporters groups in terms of reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysox Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I would think it'd be really cool for an old team like Bavarians Milwaukee pony up money and try to make it to the NASL or whatever.

They're joining not the Great Lakes Premier League next year.Oh, yeah. They could even adopt the "Barons" nickname when they make the jump to the pros. Keep everybody happy.

4_tattoos Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 There were rumors going around in local media a while ago that DC United may build a practice/training facility in Norther Virginia. Perhaps Loudon County may come back into play for that. Also heard Montgomery County, Maryland as a possible location for a training site.

Gothamite Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 And that would all make sense. There was a rumor going around last week that they were looking to put the a stadium in Loudon County. So DC United is talking with Commonwealth of Virginia and Loudoun County since the DC mayor has gotten more power to negotiate final terms?http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/digger/wp/2015/06/02/at-11th-hour-d-c-united-considers-bolting-for-virginia/http://m.dc.curbed.com/archives/2015/06/dc-united-stadium-loudoun-county.php The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
