cornettored Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The current Cosmos ownership has certainly kept a quiet profile (no testimonials against European powerhouses, not putting random soccer stars in meaningless positions). Just this stadium proposal, and their Cosmos Copa. Despite the smugness of the previous owner, having the Cosmos in MLS would be a gigantic coup. The only bad thing: Adidas getting their grubby hands on their stunning kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bad thing: Adidas getting their grubby hands on their stunning kit.How much longer is the Adidas deal with MLS? I hate how every team has the same number font and those darn stripes on the sleeves. The sleeves stripes ruin MLS uniforms for me. That and the huge sponsor logos on the the jerseys, but that's a whole different issue lol. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I love having a standardized number font across all the clubs. Just not that one. The EPL went from a terrible common font to a gorgeous one. Would that MLS follows. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Unpopular opinion: The Cosmos logo is dumb.Is it set in stone that the NY Cosmos 2.0 would retain the same logo (and even colors)? Personally I'd like to see them go with the NYC colors of blue and orange. Logo wise something a little different from the MLS logos would be nice. Honestly how many shield logos does this league need? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think it's pretty much set in stone, yes. At least the crest (which was vastly improved by the use of a new typeface), and white home colors. I expect that the change kit could be more flexible; it certainly was back in the day. But yes. If the new MLS club uses the Cosmos name and legacy, they'll use their own variation of the Cosmos' crest and they'll tie into the Cosmos' visual legacy. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

DarkJourney Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In the end I would think New York City (Cosmos) and Orlando will both end up with MLS Clubs.

AJM Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 MLS will hold at 20 for a while IMO...won't see expansion at the rate it's been the last few years.

The Cosmos playing at a new SSS in Queens and Orlando playing in a renovated Citrus Bowl.There can be only one... and it won't be Orlando.Don't you think MLS will expand beyond 20?Long term, yes. Short term, no. They're going to hold at 20 for at least 5-10 years and become far more picky about cities going forward. That and they want the player pool to expand as someone said above and the finish stabilizing the teams thay have. San Jose needs to finalize their stadium which should be done by summer's end. DC United still need a stadium desperately. As do Chivas USA and arguably New England. They'll want to get those issues out of the way before they move on to more new teams.
