Nashville USL team

[Rygi13 143]

USL has just announced plans to start a team in Nashville

Nashville United (or another better name)

Logo is inspired but the city's famous music scene, and features a guitar pick and 6 stripes to represent a six string guitar

Frigginn' love those kist; absolutely perfect!

I like the logo too, but at first I didn't realize it was supposed to be guitar strings, first thing that cae to mind was a musica staff, and had to count that it was 6 lines, not 5.

Finally, as a non-soccer fan, I'm getting tired of all the FCs and Uniteds...

I like the concept, but the pick logo is very close to the Predators alt and the Sounds main. If you do it, I would add in something to distinguish it from the others. Also, the color scheme is essentially identical to the city's hockey team, I would go with another color scheme.

 

Other than that, you have a good start.

The colors are identical to the current NPSL team Nashville FC. Is it the same owner moving the team up divisions or will it be a new team?

I just saw the Nashville FC team/ logo after I posted this, from what I read it would be a new team.

kits are gorgeous! off topic question but for you Nashville guys why does the logo have the Fleur Di Lis? is there a big french community in Nashville?

I would have to assume that there's a tie in for the ownership of club heritage. I lived in and around Nashville for half a decade, and I never saw evidence of French-heritage or cultural ties anywhere.

New Orleans actually was founded by France, and remained a French colony until the United States acquired it in the Louisiana Purchase (1803).

And the relationship with Nashville is??? (I saw that they have a Fleur de lis on their city's coats of arms, but still don't see a relationship.

From what I read, at least on line... not dicoverd or founded by any French explorer,

Whoops I had a brain fart and thought you were talking about New Orleans. My bad! Yeah I have no idea what the relationship between France and Nashville. Sorry lol

Here's the only thing I could find tying Nashville to the French: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Demonbreun

I think that could easily explain the fleur de lis in the city's coat of arms.

Haaa the Fur trade, not to be mistaken with the Fuhr trades.
