Axe Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I like the colours already. As Brian said, the D is kind of hard to make out for what it is. Mile High Athletic sounds like a great name, but we could make it Denver Athletic so that we can still incorporate the D in some way. 4 hours ago, mcrosby said: NOW I have 4 clubs left + Las Vegas reworks Chicago Red Stars I'm still open to other name suggestions Orlando Pride anything better than the fountain? San Antonio Express isn't really my jam, what else you got? ABQ/Denver Denver is a decent idea. Denver City is nice, open to anything else. What do you want to see on a logo? Honestly, I think a lot of us agree to sticking with the Red Stars name. x3 For the Orlando Pride, the fountain is quite prominent on the city flag, so you could stick with it, or pay homage to the original OCSC crest and have three lionnesses on it. San Antonio.... Sting? I remembered the Scorpions before the NASL disbanded, which is a shame... I really liked their logo and such. Mayhaps pay homage to that?

Whittier S Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Glad to see a 5280 concept. A few years ago, I though of Denver 5280 as a soccer team name, and it's nice to see you use it and do better with it than I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much localized in the Salem area. I grew up in Greater Boston and never saw anything witchy. I much prefer the Muses/Academics theme, as that is much more spread out through the region. Au contraire! I've grown up on Mount Hope Bay near RI and a lot of the local towns like Bridgewater and Swansea have histories of occult dealings.

The diamond is split by cherry branches and follows the paths of the Potomac and the Anacostia Rivers. on the cherry branch is a wood thrush, official bird of DC. I was going to sharpen up the bird some more, but I sort of like the rough illustration look. This logo is phenomenal, anytime a state can be worked into a logo I think it’s just the coolest. I do agree the green seems a little off, and the font just doesn’t sit with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if I went with Austin instead of San Antonio (due to how young that city has gotten) what would you call that club?

San Antonio Fiesta SC is something I could think of Austin Bluebonnet FC? Austin Violets FC? - In the late 19th century, Austin was known as the "City of the Violet Crown," because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset. (Wikipedia) FEAR THE FROG!

mcrosby Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I haven't come by proper inspiration for the 3 remaining clubs, so I've gone back and made some adjustments to a previous club. I wasn't quite satisfied with the Fillies, so I've added a crest shape akin to the racing silk of Genuine Risk, one of the top fillies of all time. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I didn't do much with Chicago. My main goal was to give them a C-star logo that could stand on its own and give a more classic feel to their brand. Chicago's baseball teams and wishbone C'd football team lent some design cues. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Love the update to the Red Stars. It’s my belief that a good soccer crest should have some sort of talisman to rally around. You nailed that with the C-star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 FULL PROJECT HERE. Please go appreciate it on Behance. Inspiration finally hit for the second Texas club. We've all heard of Austin City Limits, so Austin City already rolls off the tongue. If you've seen my MLS redesigns you know I also have an affinity for armadillos. My iteration of the Orlando Pride FC logo is going to lean into one aspect of pride over the other. And here's all 20 clubs: https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Outstanding series! So many great identities, but Ursa Sacramento FC was - to my mind - the standout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Let's try giving Reign a more Olympique Lyonnais look without the rest of the club's history. The logo features Mount Olympus, a concept that @vtgco used in a great looking concept over here. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The merlion is a really cool idea, and really well executed; if we're stuck with lions, then it's that or sea lions! Also the integration of the mountain and the crown is solid. Definitely a distinct take and a much more palatable change than the one we got. Good work, as usual!

mcrosby Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 For some reason I'm feeling some Philly pride. What would y'all name a Philly NWSL club? and I guess if Philly gets a club then at least one more place should, if not more. I'm open to your suggestions. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hmmm. An identity for a Philadelphia-based NWSL club, huh? The first thing that springs to mind is Glory FC or Philadelphia Glory FC. It's meant as a nod to Philly native Betsy Ross. Team colors would be red, white, blue, and silver; imagery would be based around the so-called "Betsy Ross flag". While most historians now consider tales of Ross designing and sewing the young country's first national flag to be apocryphal (Francis Hopkinson is known to have designed a pair of early versions of the flag of the United States of America), and the name "Old Glory" to have been bestowed upon the Stars and Stripes in the early 1820s, the legend of Ross designing the banner has become engrained in American culture. As the saying goes, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
