    it’s time for some uplifting Chicago Fire news for a change!

    Sure we can’t win a road game to save our lives, but people, we are just 78 days out from never seeing the “Fire Crown” abomination ever again!

    In 12 weeks, fans will be free from this hideous logo for good.

    I’m still amazed anyone has bought jerseys with this turd on it.

    This thread is 18 months too late, but glad you started it!

    Speaking of "never seeing...again," for those of you who attend the games these days, do you see anyone ever wear the abortion "spiderman" jersey to a game?

    Sometimes the most surprising things are not that surprising. :thumbsup:
    Which player's jersey?

    No name. I won it during a Fire trivia thing and it's just one of the more comfortable jerseys I have.

    I won one as well. I use it to clean the chain on my bicycle. Nice and smooth.

    As a self-professed "old man," is it one of those bicycles with the huge front wheel and the tiny back wheel? [emoji15]

    Or one of those before pedals were added? As neither model of these bicycles have a chain, I'm assuming you're cleaning the chain for the gang fights you ride your bike to.

  11. Not before pedals, but definitely before brakes.

    Good riddance.

    Stolen from Brian Sandalow on Twitter:

    Through 23 games:

    2020 Fire: 5-10-8, 23 points
    2021 Fire: 6-12-5, 23 points

    Georg Heitz got his continuity.

    First new logo merch seen out in the wild (?).

    If these are the only hats they're selling next month, I think I'll hold off until the team releases next season's stuff in the spring. That color blue is the same purplish color the team uses on the Fire Crown (TM) merch today and doesn't match anything on the new logo's color scheme. Cheap looking.

    I never had anything against the color navy until the rebrand. I used to like that navy away jersey the Fire wore in 2014 and the special ocean recycled plastics jersey the Fire wore in 2019, but sold both on eBay after the Fire Crown. I’ll never wear another navy Fire item again.

    It looks like the free patch put on a generic hat.

    I thought that may be the case. The size of the logo is smaller than any of the other team's MLS hats. That or the team just had a bunch more of those patches whipped onto some blank 39Thirty hats at the factory for the first run of cheap merch. The original Fire Crown stuff was of similar crappy quality.

    when I checked ESPN.com this morning, they were using the new logo for the Fire, but now it's back to the crown

    With the club commissioning several new murals around the city with local artists to coincide with the new logo going live on 10/4, what happens to the one done by Sansing? Guy put a lot of work into it, so I’m hoping that maybe he can just change the logo on the chest? It doesn’t really serve anyone to leave the Fire Crown out in the wild like that.

    It’s not exactly a confederate statue, but it is too bad for the artist.

    I'm going to be a little irritated if they don't have any fitted caps on Monday.

    I really don’t know why they’re dragging their feet on this. Surely management must realize that the current merchandise is hot garbage and will never sell even at a 90% discount at Ross.

    Most Fire Crown merch is destined for the landfill.
