I found this site called Pot Hunting & no it doesn't mean the wacky tabacki. When Rugby & Soccer got defined back in the good old days in the USA, Cups were called pots to win a championship. These people sell the original logos or crests of the old ASL clubs back in the day. One of them is a circa 1921 US Open Cup Winners Medal And it looks awesome. http://www.pothunting.com/blog/?p=41
It's just so awesome to see a piece of US Soccer history and finding it on a website like that. I wouldn't mind it if US Soccer changed up their medals to look like that.
