Los Angeles Sol


Brian in Boston

I saw this the other day, but not on here.

Terrible font. Really generic look. And a borrowed name. ;)

Borrowed twice over in fact, at least in a manner of speaking. Phonetically, it was borrowed from Philly's Arena Football team, the Soul. And linguistically, "Sol" is Spanish for "sun", as in the WNBA's Connecticut Sun.

Ahh, good ol' Revue/Revue BT. Or as I like to call it, the Blue Raider font. I sometimes see this on some business signege around Murfreesboro, but otherwise I don't see it that often.

Good job, LA. Recycled name, commercial font already used in sports (FBS college, no less), and clip-art logo. You get an F. I'd give you a D, to keep you out of OKC territory, but a D is passing, isn't it?

Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.

Preds & Avs.

Braves, Rays, & Dodgers.

Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals.

Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam.

Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

I was joking about the borrowed name. I've got a fantasy team in the PLA called the LA Sol:

And not surprisingly, you've got a better color scheme and logo set than the actual franchise.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

While I believe that the team's name has been public knowledge for some time, I don't recall having seen the logo displayed in the CCSLC. My apologies if I'm mistaken.

Once again...if this is an indication of the effort (or lack thereof) that WPS is putting into its own product, then it might as well get cracking on writing its obituary.

Sad. :cry:

I was at the "launch" at the last Galaxy game of the season. some nice folks at the booth.

the name is allright compared to other WPS teams.

the basic logo (sun) is fine but for me the Black/Blue/White doesn't go along very well and I totally don't like the 50/50 jerseys or logos.

just leaving out that white/blue split would have helped IMO.
