Waffles Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So the badge design campaign is set up to solicit fan designs, photos, etc. that will become a mosaic depicting the crest:New York City FC today invited fans to get creative and participate in a first of its kind campaign in sports.Supporters have been asked to create their very own soccer badge design which, once submitted, will become a pixel of the official New York City FC team badge mosaic to be revealed in March of this year. This resulting “badge of badges” mosaic will become a lasting tribute to the founding fans of New York City’s newest sports team who were with them from the very beginning.The final Club badge mosaic will allow fans to zoom in to find their own design permanently displayed within the shield. A physical manifestation of the mosaic will also be on display in the Club’s permanent facilities.There is no limit to the number or nature of designs a fan can submit and designs can include photographs, sketches, fans’ names, a pet’s name, or even a seven a side team – whatever the “designer” feels represents them as a fan of New York City FC.In order to facilitate the design and submission process, the Club has created a badge generation tool, known as the “badge configurator”. It is simple enough to allow all fans to participate in this most significant of symbols for the Club. So it looks like we're getting the branding next month when the mosaic is unveiled.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So we've learned that the club will unveil two designs (which may or may not incorporate elements of the fan badges, if somebody submits something they like) and there will be a fan vote on the two ending March 9th: http://www.nycisblue.com/2014/02/more-on-team-crest.htmlSome great designs have been put forward.

I've become rather partial to this one:I like this one too. I was thinking that since the double blue is already done by Sporting KC, maybe swap out the navy blue for black. I know the navy is for the Yankees, but still. Maybe they could do pinstripes instead.I also like the subway token concept in my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If they go with navy blue pin stripes on the home and a version of the training jersey on the aways it'd be a good look that somewhat separates them from KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You mean this one?The typeface isn't the same, and considering they're both inspired by an old subway token I don't think you can say one ripped off the other.

I love the token and the interlocking nyc ones though. I hope the club has seen them. I hope their designers have submitted them in some way. How awful would it be to end up with something disappointing after seeing these awesome unsolicited ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
