Ez Street Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The logo, was made by me. It was a joke on another thread, which some actually liked. I may refine it further just to see how it holds up against what will be the new name.I've heard from a few sources that they will in fact be Sporting KC next season. Take that for what it's worth. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Good eye. It's probably going to be BLAND with that name. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If it is Sporting KC, I would imagine after the riots, that a portion, or most, of the supporters would still call their club the "Wizards". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah, that's been talked about already. It's probably what the Ownership think they should do. That'd be more European. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think this is, Serbia? It'll be a bunch of internet bitching, then a buying of merch.

exaccardi Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Honestly, they should keep the wizards. they have been some form of the name since their inception- whether it is the wiz or the wizards. i am personally a fan of their current blue, black and gold color scheme, but i agree that their logo could use an overhaul- also keep the font.

Needschat Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sporting KC? Really? Why the love of the Euro-trash names? United, Sounders FC, FCD, TFC? This is North America, where we have a long and entertaining use of nicknames, in all sports. We've had the Caribous of Colorado. There was the Schenectady Frog Alley Bunch. The River Vale Skeeters and Newark Peps existed. If you want to do an homage, call the team Monarch Kansas City and call it a day. Oh what could have been....

Ez Street Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 No official word yet, one of the owners has stated last week that they are "looking into it" and it's a heated topic within the ownership group.The fanbase pretty much thinks that it's going to happen. At the very least, the team will have a new logo next year. They sold off all their merchandise and signage at last weeks game. They even sold some snazzy tables with the Wizards logo on them.Making the way for a new mark....or new name...... @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Why the love of the Euro ... names?You can't really blame owners and fans for wanting to pattern MLS after places where they actually play the sport well.

The city is the real thing. At least when Euro soccer club have nicknames, they rose organically, over time, from the fans. Is anything more meaningless than Oklahoma City Thunder (or take your pick of any team "named" in the past 15 years)? If there were no nicknames, just City names to define teams, does relocation happen as much?(Note, this post should be read as especially damning to a name like 'Real Salt Lake', the most inane thing ever. I have no problem with a Toronto FC however) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Many renderings I've seen of the future stadium have the Wizards name all over. I wonder if any of those signs have been constructed yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdAstraKC Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I live in KC, I drove by the stadium last week and there are no signs of any Wizards signs... I'm really afraid of them becoming Sporting KC or anything of the like. This is 'merica. give me a goofy ass 'merican sports team name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It may just be me but I welcome the name change. The whole "Off to See the Wizard" thing just seemed cheesy to me. Still its been around for a long time so maybe others don't see it as so. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
