Gothamite Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Now that the MLS has officially gone Northwest (which would have completely surprised me 2 months ago), is there any word of Vancouver and Portland will change their identities when they enter the league? I image the Whitecaps and Timbers names will stay, but I think both of these logos could stand some modification:While the Timbers logo provides a good foundation and maybe just needs a little modernization, I wouldn't be sad to see the Whitecaps logo go the way of the dodo. Not only does it look pretty generic, it also falls in the trap into which many other sports logos fall--the unnecessary inclusion of a soccer ball (like baseballs in MLB logos or basketballs in NBA logos).If the two teams are going to be rivals of the Seattle Sounders, they should at least be able to rival the logo:Geez, are all three teams going to wear green?Whitecaps don't wear green - they wear white and royal. The small amount of teal is confined to the logo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The Galaxy's colors didn't really overlap, since they used gold as the primary and none of these teams has a history of wearing gold (Portland keeps theirs confined to the logo, and Vancouver does with the teal, and traditionally wear green and white.
