It's weird they're so committed to this bit, while the on-pitch product evolves away from the global standard, with all this nonsense about PKs without extra time, a best-of-3 playoff series, league hostility to the fairly normal concept of two-leg aggregate series. Like the worst of all worlds. 2 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Invader Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Crew season ticket member here. I agree on the comments about the best of three with no extra-time straight to penalties. Apple TV wanted more playoff games versus the single knockout format. Accordingly, I thought the league would go back to two-legged aggregate. But two-legged aggregate can lead to some not so great matches in the first leg. Therefore, I think they went with best of three as it would make more compelling TV. (Pure speculation on my part). And with the potential of three matches in eight days, MLS chose to go straight to penalties. It does seem strange though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even have perfect vision and it's barely noticeable on mobile. It looks like it belongs to some team from Detroit instead. This is such a colossal brand failure. Thankfully, they still have time to fix it by 2025. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS, though, has proven to be the one professional league that has been a reluctant exception to this sort of pattern. The fact that Chicago and Montreal back-tracked on new logos in the past two years suggests to me that San Diego could do the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice chrome 24" dubs with the multi-colored walls on a Cadillac Escalade. See Oscar for more details at Six-One-Nine Customs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't back track all the way with Montreal though - the Fleur de-lys was brought back, but the front office/MLS decided that the Impact name wasn't coming back. I would also argue both teams logos are downgrades from what they had before the ill-advised rebrands - Montreal no longer have their motto and lost the Impact with the new somewhat bland roundel, and while the new logo for the Fire is good, it's not as good as the original, which was probably the closest any of the original MLS teams founded in the 1990s got to a timeless look. My guess is that they get rid of all the effects on the grey/white/chrome parts of the logo for a flat look and thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remember as a Dynamo fan the "1836" controversy that had the Dynamo name and crest created within weeks. It can be done if enough fans raise up a ruckus.

Captain Invader Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Columbus also did a quick backtrack with the name (Columbus SC), and took the triangle out of the logo and replaced it with the 96. Also, Portland when they unveiled their MLS logo, the fans / Timbers Army revolted, and they came out with a slightly revised logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
