mattb6 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Horse :censored:. How’s this for a tree, not that abomination. Precourt, and MLS for letting it happen. It’s a shame enough to steal the original team, but it’s also terrible to replace such a great identity with another new black dominant team (LAFC, Miami). This logo just sucks, too. Everythings just one big slap in the face from Pre:censored: at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The first MLS team with a beer can logo for a crest.

kimball Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I like the color combination, but that doesn't outweigh my feelings of the dirty tricks done to move the franchise from Columbus. And, yes, compared to the new LAFC and Miami logos -- this just doesn't cut it. Nothing about it says major league.

rams80 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The tree is a bad symbol for Austin because Austin bulldozed its last tree for some more poorly thought out development. Also LOL bond between club and city.... L'Audace, L'Audace, Toujours L'Audace.

officeglenn Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 As this thread is in the Sports Logos section of the forum, please keep the discussion focused on the design of the Austin FC crest. Any discussion of the situation surrounding the team and its relocation should be in the Sports in General forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 To show how the club got uprooted.

PrimalCookie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Honestly, I don't hate the logo. Austin Athletic should've been the name, though Columbus Crew should've been the name, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I hope against hope this doesn’t actually happen, but I do like that crest. A tree is a wonderful symbol for a club. From the roots to the many branches. Very Tolkien. The color scheme is unique, and the whole thing is nicely balanced. Maybe Precourt can salvage something by selling it to Nottingham Forest - it would be a huge upgrade for them. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
