schlim Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 3 hours ago, gosioux76 said: I’d assume this now guarantees St. Louis won’t use these colors. It’s the colors of the St. Louis flag and the new ownership group, MLS4THELOU, so it had previously seemed likely they might adopt those colors. Based off MLS's love of teams wearing nearly indistinguishable powder/double blues, I can't imagine any reason MLS wouldn't welcome another red-blue-yellow team into the fold. Also, the Latin Kings connection is a real laugher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as a bold, outside-the-box way to establish a new supporters' group. Though, I'll concede, it's going to be tough getting them to sign the MLS Fan Code of Conduct.

aawagner011 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 https://www.chicagofirefc.com/standforchicago This is a slap in the face to Chicago and its history. That red kit with the white chest stripe was one of the classic designs in the league and it’s been destroyed. The old crest looked a touch outdated and could have done with a freshening up, but not for this. This looks like something you’d see for an e-sports team or the like.

Jer15 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 really really disappointing. GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I will say that new typeface for Chicago Fire is great. Keep the Florian crest but add that text and some Chicago sky blue and you'd have a nice modern update. Oops! What a bizarro waste that MLS has so many teams using variations on light blue, but not the team where it makes the most sense of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top half is skyscrapers and bottom half is the fire that we have moved on from? Can't wait for "Adidas-Speak" Looks like I was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 When you don't stop to think about whether a change is truly needed, you get crap like this flame-star thing that looks like neither. Massive downgrade. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A yellow crown in Chicago has been a mark of the Latin Kings for decades. I should have been more specific. A three pronged pitchfork is also a symbol used by GDK and their allies. Either way, it makes me uneasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
