raysox Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 My friend did a Timbers concept a few weeks back with tree rings and honestly if they just added one each year that'd be one of the best soccer traditions @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAstrodome Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yeah, that was reported back in June.http://www.massivereport.com/2015/6/10/8755843/columbus-crew-sc-to-abandon-gold-kit-in-2016The second is reportedly "white with funky colors", presumably the colors from the city's seal (and consequently the flag):Bad move. I was hoping there would be a fan revolt and they'd have to keep the yellow primary. That's bad enough, but not to have any yellow jersey at all?The same Adidas catalog also indicates a black & orange monochrome secondary kit for the Dynamo.Well that's gonna tick us off. We've been begging for a Space City Blue alt for the Dynamo (like the Dash's secondaries) for years. And no way in hell the team will wear that at home. In the Oven.

Besides IIRC, they don't play day matches at BBVA during summer after Beckham threw his tantrum about the heat a few seasons back lolB. Baby blue is becoming played out. SKC, NYCFC, Rapids & Fire have all had their takes on it. Minnesota United FC will likely use the color as well. A Black/Orange monochrome like the Chelsea clash a few years back would be the better option IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 D.C. United's new logo strikes me as "meh"... at best. Yes, the wordmark font is improved and the shield's shape is more streamlined. That said, so long as the focal point of the team's badge continues to resemble a Pontiac Firebird logo as drawn by a not particularly artistic 6-year-old, DCU's visual identity will remain underwhelming in my book.And believe me, as the supporter of an MLS side sporting a Crayola-scrawled depiction of Old Glory as its primary logo, I'm only too familiar with "underwhelming" visual identities.

Kokka Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Although obvious upgrade to the previous one, it reminds me of some of the more recent additions in Div 2-3.Not implying bad quality, but maybe it's just a bit too streamlined and generic.And yeah.... that Pontiac Firebird thing's still going on.

Berlin Wall Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hm, I have to admit that I'm not a fan. Their logo is one of the last monuments of MLS tradition for me. It would have been perfectly fine if they'd just tweak little things. Like a new font or some proportion things.The new logo is too much of a change for me. They should've made the background red at least. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyk33 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 DC United new badge, for me, is a good upgrade. I like the way they integrated the DC Flag into the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 For comparison, here are their two old badges:Couple things to love - the DC flag, the new typeface, the way the name is actually integrated with the shield instead of being slapped over it. I'm also glad they got rid of the truncated icosahedron.The wings are still a little goofy but it's so much better than the original Germanic eagle.That makes me wonder what this "leak" was; rejected design, intermediate step, or outright fake?I prefer the eagle from this version, with the sharp wings and contrasting beak. Not to mention the sharp edges where the white head feathers meet the body - don't love the circular version they went with. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

-kj Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The red stripes in the eagle are part of the DC flag; that's what really makes it for me. I get why you might want to add the red in the shield, but I don't think it works as well. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BrianVlietDesign Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 As a fan of DCU, I think their new logo is an upgrade. But I'm still not entirely happy. I'm pleased with the addition of the DC stripes and stars, as well as an upgraded typeface. However I'm not crazy about the eagle overtaking the shield itself. It just feels off balance to me especially when you factor in the nameplate at the top. I guess I would have rather seen the eagle inside the shield and designed a bit differently? For now this is an improvement and I'll take it. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 In a sport where stars==championships, I just can't get on board with the stars, even if it's a direct lift from their flag. D.C. United has won 4 MLS Cups, the most of any team until 2014, and they should be proud of that, but now if they want to do anything with that they'll have 7 stars in and around their logo.
