I like this one for obvious reasons but I also like the TFC logo. Both are classy. Other than that Real Salt Lake's isn't bad either.

I like the Galaxy logo, it's simple and clean.

Agreed that it lacks originality...but it's still probably the best looking one for me.

It will only be around for 2 years before the new stadium/rebranding.

This is my favourite MLS logo - the new United one.

sure it's not 'classic football' but it's a really well designed logo.

Ya FC Dallas is a great example an Americanized logo that still retains a traditional soccer look. They did an excellent job with that logo.

I also love Chicago's logo. Very unique and fits their team very well.

Teams like the Crew, Wiz and Revs still look awful though. They are dying for a redesign.

Edit: Chivas is great, but I dont really see it as an 'MLS' logo.

Parkdale: Is it chupacabra or chupathingy?
and I'd say our logo and the Chivas USA one.

My buddy asked if the DCU crest looked a bit too much like the nazi colours from a distance...

I agree with most comments here...DC, Chivas even Dallas having decent logos.

But my favourite is Toronto...when they revealed it...I was so relieved and happy that they had done an excellent job.

agreed... i thought so too. maybe it's the eagle.

Then again, doesn't everything from Washington involve some sort of hidden symbology ;)

I'll give props to DC's logo. Its just really nice and clean as crests go. Real Salt Lake also works well for me. I'm no fan of the name, but the team's visual identity is top-knotch. Chicago Fire is up there too. I can't stand the logos from the Revs, the Crew, or Wizards. Those are nothing more than bush-league crests compared to the rest of the league.

That name and logo had so much potential. Okay maybe not the name but the logo could have been more...well...regal. They really screwed up by having Barca colours with the Real name. That's just not kosher. It would be like having a team called the Rangers with Celtic colours and vice versa.

Yeah. Now if they could have worked a pyramid and "all seeing eye" into it i'd be even better ;)

Agreed. Even though I like ours, I'd be a little bit jealous if they get this:

I prefer the 1836 name. Would not be a bad idea for them to ease that in as an official name with Dynamo being the nickname. Most of the uproar came from one over zealous politician who did her best to get other people to feel offended.

Did this logo ever make it onto a jersey?

Nope!
When they announced the name and the logo there was an uproar over the feelings of Mexican/Americans who see the date as when a part of Mexico was stolen from them rather than when Texas was established.
There was some talk of the team being called Houston Locamotive or Locamotive Houston which would have been fitting since they have a train in their city crest:

Here's the original DCU logo. I've read here and there that it was deemed overly Nazi-ish, but I don't know for sure if that's the case.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/20/DCUnitedOld.png/120px-DCUnitedOld.png

I think the new one looks better, but not a whole lot less evil.

Was it the three soccerballs? Somehow supposed to symbolise the third reich?

At the club's creation, Kevin Payne envisioned DC United winning 3 MLS Championships. We've won 4 with him.

I think the St. Louis one is great, but it should lose the united / sc at the bottom.

This was going to be the official one until Seattle and Philly got the nod...Maybe they will be 2011? Funny they still got soccer balls into it ig f you look closely. Only they're the current MLS matchball not the telstars we see everywhere else.

I actually like the "SC" - it makes it distinctly American (while the name 'United' still reaches out to a European past).

Cashcleaner
05-24-2008, 01:14 PM
^ I'm not a big fan of attaching "SC" to the club's name, which is odd because I usually refer to the sport as Soccer. I think clubs should maybe look at using the often under-utilised AFC (Association Football Club).

I was hoping Seattle would have considered it for their club and my idea did generate some interest on Big Soccer.
