Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 This makes sense for MLS. At first, having USL teams come to Kennesaw up the road sounded like a great addition to the sportswatching opportunities already afforded to me in the area, and in the first few seasons I went to a few ATLUTD2 matches. But within MLSNP, I don't have any motivation to go. The attendance at those games has dwindled down to pretty much family and friends, and it suprises me they haven't moved the MLSNP matches for the 2 team to the ATLUTD campus in Marietta, because it's not benefiting Kennesaw State Univ. in any way to hold matches there. The more MLSNP can look like its own league and serve other communities, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems blazingly obvious to me, and yet. Feels like we're in some neverending loop for farm-system thought of "It would be better for development to have our farm players train with the 1st team on-site... It would be better for business to build separate brands and serve a different market..." repeat ad nauseum. The Revs are having their team, creatively titled Revolution II (was that the French Revolution?), play a few matches up in Manchester, NH this season. Seems smarter to me than having Gillette look even emptier than usual. But they might be too late with the way various levels of USL teams are taking off around New England.

Wildcomet Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Looks like there's a new crest for the club RKC Third Coast. They are using the same crest for their teams in the USL-2, USL-W, USL-Academy, and USL-Youth leagues. I like the thought that went into this new design and it's a strong color combination. Here's the previous crest for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted Saturday at 03:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:44 PM The new USL League One team next year in Portland, Maine next year will be called Portland Hearts of Pine. Name's a bit of a mouthful, wish they would've used Maine as the location signifier given that the other Portland already exists with a tree theme. Also feel like there's high odds of Merritt Paulson filing a lawsuit over it, because he's that kind of guy. All that said, total banger of a crest that feels very Maine to me. 7 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbhaskarx Posted Saturday at 11:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:07 PM Apparently there's was a Valentine's Day Bandit who put up hearts in the area for four decades until he died and his identity was revealed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_Phantom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
