Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale The more I look at this thing (especially the blue and gold background), the more convinced I am that we're getting an Ajax style kit. The only question is the colors. When RSL got their logo revaled, they had a mockup kit at the presentation, but I think they were on a shorter notice IIRC. I'm not sure that it's possible, since it may be too early for adidas to relase their kit templates for next year. (I guess they can still keep us guessing on a few things)
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale I've been waiting to post this for a little while now, so excuse me for my giddiness! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoVkRJ3rzLc&feature=related"]YouTube - Cherry Poppin' Daddies - Here Comes The Snake[/ame]
Re: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale Maybe it's perite as the imperative verb meaning of Pereo (to disappear). i.e. Conquor or Perish, Win or Die Trying, etc.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale MLS is getting better and better at this expansion deal. Toronto and Seattle have been extremely successful (PR-wise), and it looks as though Philly will be as well. Though I must say, the more I look at the logo, the more I kinda wish they would have stuck "Join, or Die" somewhere in there (on the snake?). Regardless, looks awesome!
Re: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale Everyone seems to think it says "Join or Die" aut perite --> "or perish" I think the invgite is a misprint or something iungo - "to join" Hopefully they just asked one of the Classics professors at Penn for a translation.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale I now i am an outsider so my opinion doesn't mean anything unless i agree with everyone else but oh well. I wish they had left the snake off and let the supporters incorporate it in their own stuff. I think it would have been cool if the supporters brought the snake stuff into the team. I realize they still can but it might be over kill. Other than that I love the crest!! I think it looks like a professional crest and has great colors and thought behind it.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale Nice Swingers reference...except its Rain Man suite. Good try though.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale i had no doubts the name would be Union, but let me say, I was not expecting the logo to be anything like it came out, BUT GOD DAMN THAT IS AWESOME. cannot wait to buy a kit, and the scarf. so stoked.
Re: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale I know Bryan is a busy man. I am hoping to chat with him tomorrow.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale Good points - colors also tie in with the flags of PA (Navy Blue), Philly (Azure Blue) and whatever the team calls the other color [Buff - Old Gold - Pale Gold - Vegas Gold] which is used in the NJ and DE flags.

Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale Damn, they nailed it... I'm estatic! Snake is perfect, 13 Stars for the colonies is perfect, colors are slick, and I'm loving the nod to the sheild from the City Seal, with the flag represenation and the lighter blue in the back..... and I love that circular crest approach.... in short....... Its Fantastic.
Re: LEAKED: Philadelphia Union Gear for Sale I'll add my $.02. Well done. Two things that to me could be better: 1) the fonts of Philly and Union don't match (a minor thing). 2) you have a shield in a circular crest which wouldn't bother me if the shield were bigger or the line under the Union would stay within the shield. Other than that I think it's bang on with historical references and the tip of the hat to the city and state flag colours. Something else I noticed after looking at it for awhile the gold bars behind the shield look like fangs the way they wrap around the shield. Can't wait to see the kits. They gave you guys alot to work with. Can't wait to see your tifo. Oh, btw, don't worry about the Crew fans comments. They are still pissed because their crest looks like a bunch of Union workers on the picket line while yours looks like a Union ready to get to work. Can't wait for Monday.
