JTernup Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Really like the 46ers badge but the name is meh. The Spirit badge and name are great hopefully they go with that.

Firefly Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The star part of the first logo reminds me of the logo for the United Soccer Association fantasy league on this forum. I like the arrow head shape of the last badge but the first would get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Oklahoma City 46ers FC - This badge draws inspiration from the first Oklahoma State Flag, adopted in 1911. Said standard featured a White Star, outlined in Royal Blue, centered on a Red Field. Inside the star, rendered in Royal Blue and representing the fact that Oklahoma was the 46th state admitted to the union, was the number "46". This explains this particular team name. The arrowhead containment shape of the badge is obviously a nod to Oklahoma's Native American population, the largest of any U.S. state.Oklahoma City Energy FC - I believe this badge is meant to subtly pay homage to a number of important Oklahoma state symbols. The Green elements could be said to stylistically represent the Osage warrior's shield that is prominently displayed on the current Oklahoma State Flag, with the circular element representing the main body of the shield and the five vertical lines symbolizing the seven eagle feathers hanging from the shield's lower edge. Additionally, the star-in-circle portion of the badge's Green elements calls to mind the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma. Said seal features the motto, "Labor Omnia Vincit", which also figures in this badge. Finally, the Green elements of the badge, taken in their entirety, are evocative of a dreamcatcher, which would be a nod to Oklahoma's Native American heritage. The team name obviously references the important role that energy production plays in the state's overall economy.Oklahoma City Flyers FC - The most conspicuous element of this badge is the bird, which is a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher - the official Oklahoma state bird.Personally, I think a combination of the Energy badge design with the Oklahoma City FC Spirit name and either the 46ers or Flyers colors would make for a dynamite identity.

GriffinM6 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Use the Spirit name, Flyers colors, and 46ers crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The only reason I don't like the 46ers crest is because of the use of Berthold City. Both the OKC Thunder and the OKC Barons use that font. Maybe they did it to unify the three, but I'm not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's worth noting that, well, this is the team that likely won't ever exist, so...Too true. Still, you have to give them credit for commissioning the design of possible badges that are attractive and exhibit attention to local history, culture, industry, and fauna. Oh, and there's the Oklahoma City FC Wind badge, as well. On a more serious note, Prodigal Soccer is the same ownership group that trademarked Tulsa Roughnecks FC back on September 19, 2013. Might the principals in said group already be preparing a relocation of their USL Pro franchise to Oklahoma's second-largest city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I actually kinda like the look of the Wind badge... but, oh, that name is putrid. I also think there's potential in that abstract bird from the Spirit name. Flyers seems like the least stupid name of the bunch. Seems like a really strange idea to have such disparate color sets for each logo. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

I wonder if it may have more to do with trying to lock up a historical name so that a rival operation (Sold Out Strategies/Brad Lund) can't get to it.

Soarindude Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Not gonna lie, some of these crests are really good.The only one I dislike is the 'wind' one. I would probably go with 46ers or Energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynamo Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I like the Energy crest the most but the name could be better. Does no one notice the bird in Spirit or do you just ignore it? and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
