Big weekend for Los Angeles this weekend: El Uno vs. Dullass, Los Dos vs. Sack Trap. Bart Scott, bratschnooks.

The League's New Logo(s)

I'm aghast at how awful this has turned out.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Yeah, not a fan of the new logo.

 

[GatorTD]

What are the stars supposed to mean and why is there only 3 of them?

 

[NML]

club county and community

[GatorTD]

A big meh. The white portion looks dumb.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

It has a Partridge Family vibe to it.

The only good thing is Salt Lake might be using its secondary logo as the new primary logo. Good move.

I guess there will new conference logos to go with this. Hopefully 2 logos, not 3.

Needs an iconic silhouette, like the NBA. Maybe someone diving?

Idiot holding up scarf on a 90 degree day would be mine. All the "supporters" would love it.

One guy surrounded by 3 guys refusing to pass while his teammate is off to the side wide open?

 

[Milo]

I like the idea that the team badge will have their own colors instead of the uniform patch.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Somewhat unpopular opinion:

Get the flags off the jerseys as well.

 

[kella]

I don't understand the flags. Can people not figure out that Toronto is a team from Canada or New York is American?

 

[Renegade]

I wonder how much a consultant got paid to design that. I know the American Conference paid something like a $1m to get a logo that I could have made in WordArt.

 

[silverwheels]

Uh, we are talking about people here.

 

[kella]

Fair enough.

If the FIFA 15 picture on the Fire Twitter is any indication, I got my wish. The logo is on both sleeves.

 

[Yankee151]

One concept. Swoon.

 

[Milo]

Yeah, I've seen some neat ones(off reddit):

http://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/comments/2grty9/lets_see_just_how_dynamic_this_new_logo_is_post/

Spoof potential is endless too:

Edit: Sec, let me shrink them.

 

[Schauwn]

Luh dat FCD logo

 

[Yankee151]

I got that one off of Reddit too

 

[Yankee151]

 

[Milo]

Give me a D.C. one with Olsen in his lawn chair.

Maybe the best comment so far is MLS left it blank to symbolize all the rules they will be making up.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

There were raccoons in the upper deck at Toyota Park as well this year.

Chicago-DC is now the raccoon derby.

 

[Hachiko]

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Chicago Fire Soccer.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Up 2-0 for the first time in a long time and then blow it.

Terrible.

 

[Hachiko]

Hey @jdlikewhoa and @Snorky's Shame. Nice draw you blokes put on out there in Windytown. Real top.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Galaxy II can fuck off until next year. Insipid p.o.s. second half troggery by Los Dos (no era penal, orz!) resulted in a Sacramento Republic comeback and a 3-2 defeat, banning G2 from hosting the USL PRO title game next week. A well-deserved, GJGE exit. ¡Pinche payasos de mierdaaaaaaa! #lixo

(Eeyup, I kno dat feel, Snorky.)

I'm confused why this Asian keeps speaking da spanish

 

[Hachiko]

Because Los Angeles.
私は日本語を含む、私が好きな舌で話すことができます。
Pero lo importante es ... que era bastante un empate. Nice empty seats in the first pic too.

Oh yes, and the pitch at Toyota Park, after seeing the replays, was so immaculate...it made Bonney Field look like Old Trafford.

For New England Revolution playmaker Lee Nguyen, a rugged road to MLS stardom

I thought that was a pretty interesting read. Apparently, he grew up around here and one of the local blogs I read posted a link to the story.

 

[Hachiko]

I think this was deliberate from the people being interviewed.

That last guy is what I imagine a @Hachiko and @Yankee151 babby would look like.

Ur mind seems to be stuck in the Qatar. Oh jd. #Burn.

Well yeah just like any of the late night "on the street" gags, they don't show the people who are actually in on the joke or respond intelligently.

 

[Milo]

PONTIUS BACK.

The race between Seattle and Los Angeles for the Shield continues. What a result for the Galaxy against New York. If they happily prove me wrong, I'm sending out ISIS to nuke the bandwagon vehicle so that all the fans and myself will have to march to the match. Like all the other proper teams out there in the world.

The MLS is shutting down the donkey show known as Chivas USA.

Guess that means both Houston and Kansas City are going to the West next year. MLS could do something like this:

Eastern Conference

Atlantic Division: DC, New England, New York, New York City, Philadelphia
Central Division: Chicago, Columbus, Montreal, Orlando, Toronto

Western Conference

Midwest Division: Colorado, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Salt Lake
Pacific Division: Los Angeles, Portland, San Jose, Seattle, Vancouver

3 games in the division
2 games against the other division in the conference
1 game against the teams in the other conference

In 2017 Atlanta goes to the Atlantic and Los Angeles 2 goes to the Pacific.

In 2018 Miami goes to the Central and Team 24 goes to the Midwest.

Play teams in your conference twice, other conference once.

Top 8 in each conference make the playoffs or top 6 make the playoffs and division winners get byes to the conference semifinals.

I guess you could do the top 6 format next year as well.

 

[Schauwn]

I thought I read somewhere they were getting rid of the playoffs starting next year.

 

[goblue96]

One table. Home and home with everyone. Done deal.

 

[silverwheels]

But American sports HAVE to have playoffs!

 

[Schauwn]

I cant find anything about it now so it might have just been a rumor.

 

[Hachiko]

But American sports HAVE to have playoffs!

Well, if they got rid of playoffs, the MLS Cup would be useless.

(Btw, as promised, though one day late...new av.)

 

[Hachiko]

And so, the two-team race between Los Angeles and Seattle continues. Colorado and Toronto both suck. All is that.
