    Dragon, red, English. My guess would be Hong Kong but I know most of the Hong Kong league logos and I don't recognize this one. So I'm going to guess somewhere in China despite the English text.

    the logo with a dragon would lend itself to being from China or HK- the red color is also chinese- and being written in English, so gotta go with HK which was once an international chinese-english city

    Again, signs of just how far professional soccer has come in our sports culture since the piecemeal guarantee of starting up a Div-I pro league in order to host a World Cup in 1994. An original club from the startup in 1996, that was ripe for the purchase by 2006.

    The New York Red Bulls are now just one game away from winning MLS Cup for the first time in the club’s 29-year history. One of MLS' founding teams, initially as the New York / New Jersey MetroStars, the Red Bulls have become a part of a global sporting behemoth.

    Energy drink manufacturer Red Bull owns a vast network of soccer teams and other sporting institutions, as well as offering huge funding and sponsorship opportunities in the world of extreme sport.


    But one of its earliest major sporting purchases was the acquisition of an MLS franchise. Back in 2006 Red Bull paid $30 million to buy the team. Earlier this year, Forbes valued the team at $560 million.
