    We must have looked North for the new logo, Green Bay colors and a Cornhusk (Nebraska) design.

    That's not a cornhusk... I would curse the day my team took the logo of those nubbers up north. It's the Fleur de Lis, which os a French symbol that also appears on the St. Louis flag.

    Oh, I do realize what it is supposed to be, I was just commenting on what it appeared to be.

    Suffice it to say I much prefer the other colors and logo that was on the St. Louis United website.

    Hey, thanks for trying. I like the new scarf, it is similar to our old ones. It appears the eads Brigade side is the same but without the bridge and the river.

    Is it the same colors as the old one?

    I did realize that the colors were green/gold until I looked at the little girl's T.

    That badge would look good if on a navy blue kit. We need to keep the navy/kelly colors flying.

    They are similar in design except for the "Soccer Comes Home"
    The colors are identical.

    I see in the other thread that you had them made at the same time and thus they are the same colors.
    Did they specifically announce that the green, gold and white are the team colors today?

    the small print states that green and gold are the primary colors - could we still have some blue?
    maybe as a third kit

    Agreed. The original crest was great. Don't know why they would change to this and switch those colors. Descent name, but big downgrade in logo.

    I realize I've been in the minority on this, but please no blue. I hate the blue/green combo, they are too similar and don't look good together in my opinion.

    I really like the color scheme, the gold and white really stand out on the green background, and all three colors are easily distinguishable.

    On another note, I really liked how that letter was worded. That the owners see the team name and colors as part of brand tells me they are thinking in business terms, which gives me confidence that they will be able to succeed long term.

    One last thing, where did you get that letter SB? I can't find it on the website.

    They handed it out.
    Someone sent it to mls-rumors.
    They have it on their site.

    :( Sigh.

    I dunno. I guess I'm such a big fan of the King Louie logo that represented St. Louis United. Perhaps they're saving it for the day they're represented in MLS. But the new logo I saw today. I understand all the elements they were bringing forward. But when I see the badge, all I'm thinking of is a footprint from the bottom of a shoe. And the flame-de-lis logo. When it's green and gold on a white background, it does look like a fancy husked stalk of corn.

    Maybe it'll grow on me. Maybe it's just so for this new NASL. But for now, sigh. :(

    Again you didn't read properly. I simply said the SLSU logo looks like the Athletica logo but NEVER said anything about which came first. You assumed and assumed wrong.

    The AC St.Louis logo looks pretty dull and unimaginative and they would've been better off if they went with the SLSU logo.

    To me, this implies that the Athletica version predated the SLSU version.

    However, is this important enough to fight over nearly a month after the post?
    Please stop.
    It's just going to lead to me deleting a bunch of off topic posts.

    Thank you.

    We finally get a team to support, and instead of rejoicing, there is whingeing about the aesthetics of the logo???? That is akin to being given a new Aston Martin DBS and pissing about the shift knob. People, we hae a team! Lets focus on supporting it so we can KEEP it..and the league!
