Hey, I'm going to be an assistant coach for my high school's soccer team next year. I definitely want to work to build a soccer tradition at my school. There's a lot of talent at my school but many play club ball and don't play for the school. I'm working to fix that, last year we didn't even have enough for a JV team. I think a good starting point would be to design a fresh crest. Give our program an identity. Then I'd like to throw it on hoodies, sweatpants, shirts, etc (our school's baseball team released a sick team store this year that we could buy items off of, I want to talk to him about setting something like that up for us.) If I can get some nice apparel made more and more kids will want to start representing their school I think. I'm not trying to pay an arm and a leg for this, but I'd definitely fork out some cash to get a nice crest made for my school. If anyone knows how I can find someone to do this, please let me know.
One of our club's board members is a graphic designer. He took our ideas and put several concepts together which were used to get to our club's new crest in 2017. I have no idea what he would charge, but I could provide his email address if you'd like.
