Dilbert Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Cant say Im surprised by the name but like Major League Baseball in Charlotte its a swing and a miss. Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobrgroman Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 ugh. I hate this so much. charlotte fc is such a boring, unoriginal, and uninspired name. the logo is alright and the colours while I would have preferred something a little different are not bad. I don't really understand the CLT thing, if anything it should be CHA or CHR. personally I will be referring to them as the crown when discussing them. I was so excited for the name reveal and I can't believe this is what I woke up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for CLT, it's the tricode for Charlotte-Douglass Airport and has become the de facto abbreviation for Charlotte, like ATL is for Atlanta. It comes from the city's name (CharLoTte) and is very common to see around the city. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, you are not the first to notice the similarities. However, it's really common around Charlotte, the city government uses it, as does many private businesses and pretty much the only one that doesn't is the Hornets (further proving how out-of-touch with the city they are). The Crowns have a series on their YouTube channel called "CLTea" where they discuss the team and what's happening. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like what they did here, the monogram at the center if the roundel concepts are fantastic and do make me wish they went in that direction but it's a really solid set. I'm a fan. Not joking at all. It's the third club with black and blue colors. It's another roundel and a conservative "insert city name" FC. A great opportunity missed to be distinctive.

They're immediately the best looking blue and black team in the league and they took a traditional classy cityname-fc approach. Sure I would've rather had something like Town or Crown FC but it's still better than over half the leagues team names and like I said, the crest in upper half in the league. This isn't a home run but it's not a strike out either.

That's not a bad thing. I prefer that over the minor league sounding Rapids, Sounders or Galaxy.

sky1324 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 For those wondering about the amount of blue in the league, u/xochiheutl on r/MLS made this handy graphic: Charlotte's blue is pretty distinct from others, and noticeably brighter than Montreal and San Jose, the two other blue and black teams. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGP Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 What the hell is going on with the creative departments in the MLS lately? Chicago, Nashville, and now Charlotte have all been bad. The secondary logo is okay, but the primary is just so lifeless. That 5-minute redesign is minor but adds much more character. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

clshoaf Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Was hoping I could find some people who wanted to see the crown on top with the secondary logo in the middle and was not disappointed. Made a basic mockup in Microsoft PowerPoint. What do y'all think? My wife says it's too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt NYCFC would have used the “C” and the “City” if they weren’t under the City football umbrella. They would probably have gone with New York FC instead. Eh, I dunno. "City" has long roots in English soccer. Manchester doesn't own that any more than they own "United", and I don't doubt that an unrelated ownership group may have also chosen "New York City", just as many clubs have adopted that other one.
