gordie_delini Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 ugh...i f***ing HATE CHELSKI!!! that will be sad to watch the MLSers get clobbered by the Russian Mob... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 But how many of Chelsea's stars will actually play? With the Premiership starting 2 weeks after, I highly doubt all of the stars will be playing, unless they use the 6 subs rule. But I guess Chelsea felt they had to add this game since Barca are touring the USA the following week. But Man U is coming over next summer so that's what I'm waiting on. We already know what to expect as far as the All Star jersey. Probably the Aquilla or Libero template and probably in red or yellow since Chelsea will probably be breaking out their new adidas uniforms.

-kj Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Aside from the Sierra Mist logo placement, I really like that ASG logo.I'm also thinking about going to the game.

LMU Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The logo's fine, but the format is terrible. An entire league worth of players against a single team is just rediculous. Nothing but a cheap publicity stunt. It would be much better if it was an east-west or us vs the world format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a charade and certainly not a true All-Star Game.That said, the logo's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I like the logo, and I really like the way the flag of Chicago is a part of it without being overbearing.Any idea who designed the logo?

jr79 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If I was a fan of the MLS I'd find it pretty degrading to have the league's All Star team facing off against just one European club side. No-one expects MLS teams to be in the same class, but fans don't need to be reminded so obviously of the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because last year's asg against Fulham clearly showed that MLS couldn't hold their own against a premiership club.Oh wait, Carlos Bocanegra (formerly of Chicago) and Brian McBride (formerly of Columbus) played for Fulham.And Fulham lost 4-1.

So a meaningless exhibition game between the east and west conferences isn't?Playing a top flight side from Europe or South America provides an opportunity for fans to see some of the top teams in the world, lets MLS players get some exposure in foreign leagues, and helps market MLS to a larger fanbase.You do realize that the NHL all star game once pitted one league team against a team of all stars?

pcgd Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The MLS is no longer trying to attract non-soccer fans. They've tried that and its not very possible in America. Instead, they are now targeting fans of soccer in general. I think after the failures of the non-soccer fans, its a good strategy. Someone that is a fan of soccer would appreciate being able to see a team like Chelsea play. The is the reason you are seeing more and more european elements come into the MLS game. The least of which is the same numbers for all teams with a MLS logo at the bottom. The re-naming of teams in a european fashion is the most obvious change.Like I said, I think its for the better. The majority of people that are against some of these things are those that aren't soccer fans, and will hate anything that has to do with the MLS. Yes, some of the new names are lame like Real Salt Lake, but its not unfounded in American Sports or European Soccer. Teams frequently take names, colors, etc. from teams they idolize. The Chicago Bears, for example, wear Orange and Blue because of the University of Illinois. One of the most historic and most respected franchises in the NFL, "stole" their colors. They could make it American Football and they'd still hate it cause it used to be soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I agree with everyone that the logo is well done BUT if it weren't for the MLS logo at the bottom, there wouldn't be a hint that this had anything to do with soccer.I know not every logo can have a soccer ball in it or the silhouette of a guy kicking a ball, but it seems like something else could have added to the logo proper. Yeah do that. Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I only dislike the sponsor placement. The MLS logo tells you it is the MLS All Star game. The MLB All Star Games just put the letters out there with the logo as well so I don't really feel they needed to add unneccesarily to it. The Sierra Mist logo obscures the stadium IMO.

I'm from the part of Illinois that gets treated like a fiefdom by Chicago. So pretty much anything that says "Chicago" is a major turnoff for me in a logo. I also like how we're playing a "Sierra Mist" allstar game. What league are they in?
