    It's the off-season. This looks like a good thing to freak out about.

    The only refresh I'd support is the removal of the soccer ball. Just leave the star in the center.

    Unless they wanted to adopt my avatar ...

    I'd be good with that too. ;)

    I just want the ability to put 5 stars above the shield in the near future.

    It would be pretty lame if their plan was to rebrand along the lines of NYCFC-ManCity but using InterMilan as the template.

    They should do a refresh which involves putting three big horizontal stripes on the front of the jersey.

    And maybe some cat in the hat sleeves and socks.

    Levien -- machetes and catapults.

    This guy is crazy.

    But crazy in a good kinda way, apparently.

    I also support three stripes, and the return of the cat in the the hat jersey. :thumbsup:

    I can't remember. Is the full official name DC United sans SC or FC?

    The full name has punctuation after the D and C.

    The brand refresh very well could include removing that punctuation.

    I thought AC was going to be added in a nod to our Italian population.

    Back in Black!!!

    I had also heard Inter Milan was planning a brand refresh of their own in the years ahead to likely become "Milan United."

    Who's the big club, now?

    Obviously they're replacing the eagle with a buzzard. Can't say you didn't see this coming ...

    Brand refreshes are important when there's something to forget about the past, e.g., Metrostars, Whiz, Burn, etc.

    Idea: ditch the lame gold-star-and-ball in favor of a Washington DC shield (white background, 3 red stars, 2 red bars) on Talon's chest, a la the U.S. National Eagle with stars/stripes shield. What better way to hammer-home the idea that this is a "DC" club?
    Memo to Jason: don't even dream of messing with the all-black kit. Classic and very unique.

    We've had this discussion multiple times before. What I'd like to see is United adopt the two red (horizontal) stripes from the DC flag on both the home black and away white jerseys. It would be a unique look and would not have to be dropped if we loose adidas as a kit sponsor.

    I believe the classified annex to the stadium agreement stipulates that the jersey shall henceforth include portraits of Bowser and Mendelson, alternating each game.

    Change the eagle to a Buzzard (avie), to

    ------>>!!***SYNGERIZE***!!<------

    the stadium deal!

    (Fits our mentality anyway. We like to feast the carrion of our departed enemies.)
