sonny Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 https://photos.app.goo.gl/VJh7TDG4sC57OReG2Since Crew SC’s excuse for an owner has announced his intent to move to Austin next year, the amount of backlash has been substantial. Different things have been done both in front and behind the scenes but in the interest of this group, the #SaveTheCrew gang has endeavored to create a Supporters kit with actual local sponsorship. Very cool indeed. https://goo.gl/images/ny2a9e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Don't these kind of movements always happen too late? It's all about money. The owner can get the stadium/money he wants in Austin, he's going to move there. I don't know much about the Crew. Were they selling out every game? Did they have a strong local presence? I recall when the Rams left LA after the '94 season, the team had fallen so far they weren't even a part of the LA sports scene anymore. If the Crew has had that happen, that only gives the owner even more reason to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 He’s basically tanked the club, pulling them off local television, not advertising, and not courting sponsors. So now he can cry poor. The irony is that Austin doesn’t particularly want the team. He thought they’d fall over themselves to give him a sweetheart deal, but they’re opposed to his stadium sites and the idea of public funding. He probably has a much better situation in Columbus, if he actually tried. There are local offers for the club, and I really hope he just sells. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Well, hopefully someone in Columbus will make him an offer he can't refuse and they'll stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the minimum amount of local involvement and TV coverage in the team just so he meets the minimum threshold of MLS rules. He still announced yesterday that Butler Shores should be available to him even though they've already told him no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume the jersey will be yellow rather than black and I believe the main Save the Crew bade will be the crest used. The biggest question is if it will be in full color or monotone.

MJWalker45 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I ordered mine last night. Some fans are mad it's not all yellow, because we've never worn hoops. I like it because both colors are present and it will still stand out in the stands which is the main idea I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer15 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It really is a beauty but i'm not sure I understand, besides for making a statement, what is the purpose? (to clarify, that's not a negative statement, I'm genuinely unsure) Are proceeds going to help fund something to assist with the efforts to save the Crew? My reason for asking is; if it is financially supporting efforts to save the Crew, I will order one.

They also have scarves, t-shirts and hoodies for those that aren't interested in buying the kit. https://savethecrew.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
