Digby Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I hate giving thought to sponsor logos, but that's an upgrade over the "90s Print Shop Pro typeface" look of the old one.

I think Portland might be the only one with two different sponsors (Simple & Alaska Airlines). Did someone else announce different sponsors? Columbus will replace their black kit this yrar, I just hope it's nothing like their current alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I knew there had to be another team out there but I knew it wasn't Seattle or Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Could these socks possibly be from one of Minnesota's new kits this season? They definitely appear to be customized for MNUFC in regards to color and there seems to be some sort of team specific wordmark, graphic, etc. on the calf. It would be odd to have customized socks just for training and preseason so I think it's entirely likely that they could be from one of the new kits (presumably the secondary kit).

MJWalker45 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Teams do have customized socks for practice, but normally they're just crew socks. I'm not sure I've seen them in MLS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendocfc Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 If you want my two cents,these look like match socks. I'd need to see a better picture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas1787 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Interesting use of the grey stroke on the MNUFC crest. Has that been done before? Goth, didn't you do something similar on your graphic with all the team-specific MLS logos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's the same crest they've been using since they first announced they were keeping the name when they jumped up to MLS. I have a magnet that is that exact crest on my car that they were handing out at games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Unless I'm mistaken, I think he was referring to the fact that the crest has a flat top line and a thick outline rather than the angled corner in your avatar. The new shape encases the star within the shield rather than it being a separated piece floating away from the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Interesting. I rather like it. I might've thickened up the outline but it gives the crest a little more balance and pulls it together with the black loon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the magnet at a game last year shortly after the MLS logo reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting to me is that they're using the outlined "black trap" version of the logo on these black shirts. That leads me to believe that the badge is embroidered seperately and then sewn on. Which is pretty common, so I guess we should have anticipated this, but it does tend to blunt one of the coolest features of Minnesota's badge. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

MJWalker45 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 For the game jerseys I believe they are still heat pressed on to the uniform. Did they change within the last 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goth, didn't you do something similar on your graphic with all the team-specific MLS logos? I did, but I was just guessing. I knew they needed some way to treat the logo against a light gray background; I guessed an outline around the star itself but I guessed wrong. According to the fantastic style guide @Mockba posted, they have a variation for light backgrounds that includes a black shield. With that in mind, here's the revised graphic. It now includes official versions of everything, although I may have to switch out the Minnesota background color at some point, since those are intended to reflect shirt colors. This presumes a gray shirt, which may or may not happen. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they change within the last 3 years? No, you're probably right. I meant that the badge is done in one piece and applied to the shirts, heat press or sewn. What'll be interesting to me is how much merchandise uses the black shield embroidery. I would guess that they wouldn't want to use extra stitches, but on the other hand manufacturers might not want to switch out digital files when only the color of the product is changing. It exposes a production problem with the æsthetic element I really love. EDIT: And looking at my graphic now, I don't like the "black trap" version of the logo. The gray stroke is too thin, and the wing blends into the background. All they really needed was a black star, or a black outline around the star. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
