Levien: DC United will consider a logo/brand refresh for new stadium

Well, since that FC Dallas has seemingly given up wearing hoops (along with the uniqueness within MLS they provided) in order to adopt yet another plain red shirt [huh?], maybe our "thinking" is that these hoops are a way of re-differentiating DCU, given that half the league has stolen the quasi-all-black look that used to be ours.

 

Either that, or the hoops are some sort of tacit homage to the RFK raccoons . . .

The old logo on the tape was pointed out to me after I bought mine, thus making it extra-collector-y The tape being oddly cut didn't really affect very many of the shirts I saw to be honest, but I'm not turning down my free one in July
I think mine says ion Taxation Without Representation Taxation

Not sure how it could be cut "properly" and still cover the entire collar area, maybe more dead space or just a shorter cut.

As for the event, the lines to get in were MUCH better than last year, the store was bigger and laid out better - but those lines were still very long (though they actually moved this year). The beer choices were much worse.

 

Repeal the Tax on Ions!

 

If you want to avoid the tax, just go covalent.

 

Not to mention the use of the Onyx typeface instead of our new, custom type.

 

Fuck that shit. We were here first. They're stealing our shine, and I'll be damned if we change our name or colors for any new-jack scum club. We're the Osiris of this shit.

 

********ing LAFC fans.

 

Lincoln's Boys

 

Well, before you said that I was gonna say Leeds.

 

Google "District 9 Ultras" and behold their majesty.

 

New DC United Stadium will of course be named "Bruce Arena".

 

We have a nickname for them, at least; we can call them the Prawns.

 

I thought District 9 was in Panem.

 

Apparently they're the least important district in the series. Still appropriate.

 

Turns out we're not the only football entity undergoing a major rebrand.

 

In case you want to feel like you're doing something
"I just signed the petition, "Don Garber: Allow Minnesota United FC to keep their name or make Atlanta United FC change theirs.."

I think this is important. Will you sign it too?
