Rumor: The Coming <soft> Rebrand

There's something just brilliantly infuriating about it.

 

it does not scale down well:

I resent this. My silly resistance to change is the antithesis of hipsterism. Let's call it codgerism. I'm old, tired, and already spent years getting over the Fire coming out in ManU/Arenal Red. I'm not doing it again for Barca/RSL colors.

 

The old one didn't either, in fairness.

 

I mean... literally none of them do if you look at the league schedule. The amount of going out of your way to be mad at things is at a "you need to see a therapist" level.

My favorite comments are the ones getting extremely mad at the schedule release video thing.

 

scaled- down like that it looks like a black cats anus staring me in the face while I'm trying to work on my computer

 

Your computer is in the litter box?

 

Pretty self-explanatory @ChicagoFire

Clearly you're not a cat owner

 

Congratulations on your new logo, it’s wonderful .....

I just unpacked all my 30 or so old CFS scarves; Ultras, the bulldog, Full Power, Stewie, Let’s Roll, Barnburners, Urbs in Horto, etc. They may be collectors items now, and I wonder if the new, massive wave of expected “football” club fans would part with their money to buy them for an appropriately, excessive profit?

Might be worth going to SF for a tailgate sometime in the summer.

 

I’ll take ‘em off your hands Sal, for old times’ sake.

 

Loved Fish.

 

Except when it's wrapped in newspaper.

Most of my life.
I had a cat that ran for Preident of the United States of America.
First election try he got, at least, seventeen votes.

 

Maybe arrange riding the back car on the BNSF with the bonus of alcohol.

BTW, welcome back!

 

Fail

 

lol

That’s a supporter made design to sarcastically embrace the fail. If you want some stickers I can hook you up.

 

In that case, awesome.

 

I saw those on twitter this afternoon. I'm just happy to see people having fun with this whole shitshow, sarcastic or not.

 

I wonder who'd win in a fight, the shark or this guy?

 

It's like someone said, 'the new logo, but more ridiculous than Gritty in a totally serious way'. I love it.

 

The Gritty thing is a great example to me as a non-native resident of both cities of the difference in the sports culture of both places. If Tommie Hawk never existed and the 'Hawks rolled out a big hairy red Gritty thing instead of Philly last year, Chicago fans would have just bitched about how awful and unauthentic he was until the team killed him off Poochie style.

 

I think I could support this with a couple of bones or beer. It is probably the closest I will get to wearing the logo without a MLS Cup win.
