Digby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Chicago has done such a nice job laying the groundwork to come back from the brink... this would be an utterly predictable way to shoot themselves in the foot after all that.

Sodboy13 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Quoting a board member from another platform, because we live in meta times: If this wasn't it, you'd think the Fire would want to distance themselves from it in no uncertain terms. Of course, this is the Fire, so who knows.

BJ Sands Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 That dude is an amazing reporter, handsome, and smells great. In all seriousness, I’ll have plenty on the new logo when/if one comes out. It’s a topic that interests me greatly. Obviously. Here’s something I wrote on the topic a month ago. Seems relevant today. https://www.google.com/amp/s/chicago.suntimes.com/platform/amp/2019/10/19/20921714/chicago-fire-mls-logo-joe-mansueto-nelson-rodriguez-leeds-united-sports-uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is almost certainly somebody's concept, because it would clearly get the entire league sued out of existence. Getting fed up with the generic Euro branding. Go with Chicago Fire FC or SC or for a total rebrand, bring back the Sting - Chicago Sting FC or SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigbazah Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Their current crest is unique and fine. And if the Fire had more success with their crest, they wouldn't even think of changing it, especially to the one in the OP. That's all this is about. It's like when a person goes through a mid-life crisis and dyes their hair some terrible color. It's not really about the hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Chicago City would be a joke. Chicago Town - as in Chi-town - actually sounds kind of cool to me. But Fire is established and already a decent brand so I don’t see any reason to change. Just hopefully not to the aforementioned logo.

The_Admiral Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The only change I'd make to the Fire's logo is the font. It looks too Verdana to me. That's it, the rest is fine. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 This is, quite simply, horrendous. It would instantly become the worst team primary mark amongst all Major League Soccer franchises. And bear in mind that MLS counts the logos of the New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting Kansas City amongst its visual branding elements. You have to delve down to the level of the USL Championship's Austin Bold FC to even come close to something as breathtakingly bad as this purported Chicago Fire badge... and not even the Bold's logo hits this nadir of design.

nash61 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 For me, the logo rates somewhere between "Dumpster Fire" and "Kill it with Fire".

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

There's a neighborhood in Hoffman Estates where all the streets are named after Arizona locations: Flagstaff, Kingman, Maricopa, Glendale, Grand Canyon. It's strange, because you would think Arizonans would be the ones naming streets after places back home.
