Possible new KC crest.



Kinda slick. But are we sure the name isn't KC SpeedStick? Has a deodorant brand look about it.

 

It looks just like the Eastern and Western conference logos like the article says. Kinda lame.

 

I agree. I don't understand this "trying to be like Europe" naming convention. It makes little sense. It's not like Eurosnobs are a big market. There are few original MLS names left (especially if Colorado ever goes with the long-rumored "Arsenal"--which at least has some basis in reality as the stadium is near a federal arsenal--but is still a blatant rip-off). Most team names are now copies of European or old NASL names (though I have no trouble with the latter).

 

Thank you

 

This is so horrible. They could do better with another week's time and some new ideas.

I don't like re-branding, but when it came to the MetroStars it made some sense because that franchise had been horrible from day 1. Kansas City has won an MLS Cup and a Supporters Shield, and while they've been a mostly average franchise, things were looking up with the win over MU and interest being generated over the stadium.

I feel like every time a team changes its name it invalidates the league's credibility to a small degree. I have thirteen years of memories of the Kansas City Wizards, and now those memories are slightly tarnished because the team is going to be called some Europoseur nonsense. No thanks.

The league should step in to stop this.

 

We should all be like today's Dispatch and just ignore the FCs and SCs:

Burn to play for MLS Cup

The print edition of today's Dispatch resurrects the Burn twice.

 

This does sound cool, but is the Arsenal name idea based more around Kroneke, with his shareholding and preeminent takeover at Arsenal?

 

cleaner image... still looks terrible

 

I like the ring of Kansas City ********** (ladies part beginning with a "C" - Pluralized)

Do they have an email address/Suggestion box? ha ha, I said box.

 

I wonder when the development of youth players will be seen to that level with Columbus.

 

If they feel the need to rebrand, I have no problem with Kansas City SC. KCSC kinda works. But there are few Portugese in Missouri, so Sporting is rather dumb. Now if the team were in Providence, RI, or one of the fishing ports in New England....

 

We are probably close to that. I think there are a couple of players in the Crew Juniors system who would qualify, if they wanted to go the Gen Ad route once they graduate from HS. Some one who follows the HS/Club scene a bit more could probably say more. However, I suspect that the kids around here want to give college a try first.

 

DC should rebrand to Atletico Club DC

 

I bet we could snag a couple of the kids from the u19 championship squad from this summer who are now sophomores in college. Theres also Will Trapp who is a now senior in high school. We may be able to grab him out of the Academy as a homegrown player but he may be served better to go off to college for a year.

I think we should be able to still grab kids that are Crew Soccer Academy kids even if they are in college as home grown players.

It looks like a ton of people hate the idea.

 

Sporting KY... and I'm not talking about Kentucky...

 

AC/DC with a lighting bolt on their crest could cause trademark issues but would be really sick.

 

Get 'em to sponsor the team and it would work! I'm not totally joking either. Peter Frampton was part owner of the Philadelphia Fury in the old NASL and Ban Jovi owned the Phila Soul in Arena Football. Oh, and didn't Elton John once have a large piece of Watford?

 

Looks like Dallas will take a bit of a hit with Gen adidas grads. Shea, Avila and Guarda all go to the senior roster
