Kess Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Talk about good news/bad news. Springfield (MO) has a new United Soccer League Premier Development League franchise...but it's called the Demize. Here's the crest:They played their first home game last week, hosting the Colorado Rapids U23's. Springfield won 3-1. I didn't have my good camera, so here are a couple of shots from the great Steve "Ole" Olson who runs Springfield MO Soccer.Springfield wore dark navy blue and white Puma kits:The Rapids sported a familiar look:After seeing a game in person, I'm totally onboard. I'm still working through the fact that my local soccer club is the "Demize." I'm thinking about ordering a shirt from the USL's online store. They've got a cool feature where you can design your own gear. Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Your team name is a word synonymous with "downfall" or "failure"? What the hell kind of marketing is that?Oh, but the "Z" makes it edgy. I understand now.

hrivnak Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 The name is bad enough in it's own right, but they have to spell it wrong, too? Good god. I feel sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Cool. I've been hoping someone in Topeka would be smart enough to land us a USL franchise. Topeka has a big soccer community with Youth Soccer. It would be a nice way to continue the growth of the sport here.Good job with getting a team Springfield. Too bad the name blows. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 At least the logo is better than most PDL teams, even if the team name is über-weak. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!
