NicDB 1,223 Posted March 6 1 hour ago, SFGiants58 said: I’d hope they’d go all-in on a Bundesliga-style identity for their crest and name. Follow Inter Miami’s example of using non-English naming traditions, if Inter Miami doesn’t turn out to be vaporware or a tulpa. I had the idea of a Milwaukee club called 1846 United FC, inspired by the tendency of Bundesliga clubs to include years in their name. It's a reference to the Milwaukee Bridge War of 1845 and the subsequent uniting of the warring settlments the following January to create the City of Milwaukee. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my problem with it Yeah the name is 90s Minor League, but it's 30s Major League! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukee_Bavarian_SC 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I still think Bavarians SC or Bavarian SC is better. It’s more modern and stands out better 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCarthy 9,638 Posted March 6 If I was in charge of Sacramento's logo update for when they get in MLS (AND I SHOULD BE) I'd flip the positions of the bear and the star. The bear from the state flag should be the focal point, especially because nobody else in MLS uses that animal while any team can use a star. Also, a red star works in smaller sizes such as the bottom of a soccer badge, that the detailed bear doesn't. Simplifying the badge and removing the bevels was a good decision. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucfan56 5,973 Posted March 6 I’ll put in a good word for you But seriously, your work would merit it. I’d love to see what you could come up with for the SRFC brand. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 12,721 Posted March 10 I bought one too - they’re fantastic. The pink is a keeper jersey (as is the black above) which isn’t available yet but will be. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 12,721 Posted March 10 While we’re at it, Milwaukee’s Bavarian SC is celebrating its 90th anniversary this season, and have a shirt with their 1929 logo: I bought one of those, too. Can’t see it in this picture, but they have faint tonal pinstripes. The badge reads “FCB”, the club’s original name. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that keyline, you've executed a flawless update to a logo that was already very. very good. But what will you change when you get to MLS? Because, c'mon, this is going to fit right in. Whether or not you like the name “Milwaukee Bavarian SC”, you gotta admit, that concept crest is CLEANNNN. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucfan56 5,973 Posted March 11 The USL is definitely the more fun league when it comes to kits and branding. MLS is very professional and buttoned up, which is fine. But I rather like some of the wackyness in the USL. It reminds me of the early days of MLS. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 12,721 Posted March 12 Dont think I realized that the back has subtle tonal stripes. Pic from this tweet: And BTW, you should read her whole thread - it’s a great story. There was a problem getting the uniforms from Hummel, so Peter Wilt called a friend and asked her to serve as a courier from Boston. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
