Yeah! This would be great on a black jersey. But they're most likely going with the circular border around the "B".
Eberly's Army ASG @EberlysArmy Congrats to the Austin Bold FC org for their announcement event today. We were glad to be there with long time friends. We are soccer supporters' group in Austin, TX, fans of the sport from PDL to EPL and everything in between
Losing options were the Italics and the Sans Serif. I voted for Austin Sans Serif Football United Club. A.S.S.F.U.C.
I love the crest. Not sure about the name. Never heard "Bold" for any sports team. Kind of growing on me, though. We'll see.
I'm not a big fan of the name, but am okay with everything else. Curious to see who on this thread who lives in Central Texas is thinking about getting season tickets? I know I and a number of friends are. Personally, I don't see this as an MLS2ATX v Austin Bold FC issue, although a lot of folks on the interweb are trying to make it that.
Austin FC has just been unveiled for MLS. Assuming that goes through, can your city deal with two teams at those respective levels?
Registration is now open for the next #AustinBoldFC 2019 Open Tryout, taking place at @TBKBANKSPORTS, Dec. 12-13. Details: http://bit.ly/2BcY80G
BREAKING: #AustinBoldFC signs Austin native Sonny Guadarrama for the 2019 #USL season. Welcome back to #ATX, @Sonny_g52! Release: http://bit.ly/2QlM8yZ
They really named it Austin Bold? It is Texas, I guess. It makes sense they would name their team after steak sauce.
