Back when my wife and I were engaged, I designed a wedding invitation designed to maximally tease my soon-to-be mother-in-law. Its main feature was flamingos with interlocked legs, just like this logo. Amazing!
Haha! I sort of thought the same thing, but for me it was the Statue of Liberty. "Give me your tired, your poor,...your cranes."
Just throwing this in for fun...I wonder how Waibel would fare... https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/08/21/seattle-sounders-fans-set-vote-fate-gm-garth-lagerwey
Leave it to the host of The Price is Right to get it: “This is really like a failsafe system for when things are going badly,” Carey said in a statement. “It’s to keep the fans from divorcing the team and to quit participating with the team. It's better than writing a letter to the editor, it's better than to quit buying tickets, it's better than complaining on a message board.” Don't forget to spay and neuter your pets, folks. I wrote an email to some of the senior RSL folks after the announcement of the Royals. I'd had enough. I vented. Andy Carroll replied asking me to call him. Seems like a lot more work than just having open houses and voting mechanisms like this.
Could you call him regarding your opinion of the mis-use of the Monarchs in developing and retaining young talent? Or...knowing it was you, did Carroll use a burner phone and lock up all his plastic straws?
Burner phone? Nah, Carroll did the old trick of giving someone you don't want to talk to a wrong/fake number.
That logo has to be a joke. Sorry, maybe its just the dirty old man in me, but I see female body parts right there. The whole reproductive system. Maybe those birds are supposed to be storks.
Annnnd Precourt comes to Beckham’s rescue by revealing the Austin crest and taking first place with the worst one in the league
Dude wants to go hipster I guess? That looks like a logo that belongs in Portland. I have to say... The only thing that is OK about it is the simplicity. But it just becomes a simple train wreak.
How much root beer did you drink before posting this? I can't see it no matter how far I cross my eyes or stand on my head. Austin's could be a family tree though...
Will Parchman's version is even better. pic.twitter.com/y846TqE3CB— Will Parchman (@WillParchman) August 23, 2018 Edit: Another great version from Twitter.
That looks like a clothing brand label, not a soccer crest. Reading the back and forth on twitter about it has been very entertaining.
Also, there is a growing group over the past few hours that are getting being the hashtag #eltree. That is about as dumb a nickname as I can think of. And yes, I get the ElTri closeness. Still dumb.
If you look at the positions of the F and C as the eyes it strikes me as FC Ent, and that’s how I’m going to roll with it. The Treebeards.
It is lazy, but it doesn't mean the team has to wear the colors of the team they are names after....just like Real Salt Lake not wearing the same colors of Real Madrid. The Austin logo is awful, even more awful is the description of its elements, the whole thing is cringe worthy. It's just all garbage.
So bummed San Antonio won't be getting a team, but with Austin only an hour or so away, that will make for an easy trip to watch RSL. Can't complain there.
Unfortunately, the stadium is on the wrong side of Austin, so it's about 1.5 hours from my house. Oh well. Still closer than Houston.
15 mins north of downtown depending on traffic and yes, brand new stadium. Looks like it will be very nice.
The proposed Austin stadium site is 10 miles from downtown, which is further than the Crew's stadium to Columbus.
