-kj Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, that text is definitely of. They fix that, and it's a terrific choice. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BigRed618 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Wait... what's this for? Is this a real team or...?EDIT: Nevermind. I just noticed the link. This sounds pretty awesome. I went with the roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub53 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 http://www.stlouisuslpro.com/vote-.htmlIs it just me, or is "football club" not centered on the crest version?The problem with the bottom logo is that the date should refer to the first year of the club not the city's founding. I also had the concept of American tems taking a European approach bu name a club CITY NAME FC...it's called soccer in the United States not football.

pcgd Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, that text is definitely of. They fix that, and it's a terrific choice.Agreed. Like the subtle Arch, love the wavy lines like the flag (could it make it on the jersey??) like everything about it. The roundel looks too close to NYCFC/Melbourne City even down to the font. Not crazy using the city's founding like its the clubs founding either. Just leave off the Established date if you aren't ok with it being 2014. I can understand not wanting too "new" of an established date on a logo so just leave it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Agreed on all counts, pcgd. And although I've defended the use of a fleur-de-lis on other threads, it's pretty uninspired on that roundel. Seems slapped on. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohryan Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I like the roundel. It's just such a unique look that you never see in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Not a fan of either personally. I think the name and colors are a miss, but not surprised by either choice. Option 1 has some potential, but it just doesn't feel there to me. But option 2 lacks anything unique about St. Louis beyond the word and the fleur de lis. I really would have liked to seen a St. Louis flag motif OR the Apotheosis of St. Louis as one of the soccer groups a few years back was doing.

CDixonDesign Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 As "templated" as the roundel feels, I prefer it over the crest. Football logos lately have become to "standardized". Call it a trend, or just a safe move, but i'd like to see a club come with something "out of the box" to buck the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I agree with the guy who said that this is a poor choice of colors. Maybe if the lightened up the blue a little, they'd be on to something. Of course, I'm just glad I have a high-tier soccer team in my own backyard again. Let's see how long this will last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, they need an actual nickname. Using FC or SC seems so lazy. It would be like calling the Cardinals, St. Louis BC. There are so many creative nicknames the could be used. Plus there have been many interesting nicknames and logos for STL indoor and outdoor teams such as Stars, Steamers, Storm and Ambush.

But it IS called soccer, not football, and all of the leagues have the name soccer (i.e. USL, MLS) so all of the team should use the same for consistency. For some reason some people think using the European terms are hip and cool. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current legal name for the club is St. Louis Cardinals, LLC. Legal names are a whole different ballgame. Nobody refers to teams by their legal name, although nowadays more teams are using their nicknames in the legal names.

Gothamite Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Farther back than the A-B ownership. Much farther back. And yes, they were referred to by those names way back when. Nicknames were unofficial, often changed and not always used. But I know. I was just kidding you. You did walk into it, though. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Sport Billy Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Isn't Scott Gallagher the owners of the SLFC?Yes, but I think St. Louis F.C. Is an attempt to say "We are not just a Scott-Gallagher team" and recapture some of the fans lost in the merger with St. Louis S.C. a few years back.
