It's almost a good logo.

I hate the cheesy old soccer ball with the black spots. And the maple leaf looks really out of place.

The 4 colour shield is pretty cool though and I like the colour. Hopefully they have four square jersey's.

^ putting aside the bad photoshop fx for a moment, it would be cool if their jerseys have a quarter design.

I've always been a fan of that look.

Bristol Rovers have that design on their shirts and in their crest.

That logo... is shit.

**Cashcleaner** · 04-20-2010, 08:36 PM

Pretty uninspiring if you ask me. I don't mind the colours, and the shield itself is pretty sweet, but they could have done a LOT better, especially when you consider how good the Edmonton City Coat of Arms is or the Flag of Alberta.

**BC101** · 04-20-2010, 08:42 PM

Imitation highest form of flattery etc etc LOL even if that imitation is poorly.

**flatpicker** · 04-20-2010, 08:50 PM

I'm really surprised they approved it they way it is.

If they simply removed some of the unnecessary f/x, it would look so much better.

Simple is better... and this is a good example of an idea taken too far.

**BC101** · 04-20-2010, 08:52 PM

I know LOL why is there a bevel Emboss on a logo meant for a sports team LOL. The clip art is also amusing.

Just curious. The more analytical the better. Ditto for anyone who likes it.

First reaction definitely is all the effects on it, beveling, stroke on the Edmonton. Not sure about the colour choice, would have to see why the designer chose it. To me, there's nothing unique about this, it just looks like a very generic soccer logo with nothing in it that really says "Edmonton".

Which is too bad because another USSF team, St. Louis, clearly invested in their identity and IMO is really strong.

I can see some problems with the FC Edmonton Logo, especially if they start calling the team "The FC" Edmonton.

**Whoop** · 04-20-2010, 09:31 PM

The St. Louis logo is quality.

I like the STL logo as well. The colours not so much but the emblem is original.

It's a fleur de lys, or a version of it. It's also part of the logo for St. Louis Athletica in the WPS.

St. Louis (and Missouri in general) was part of the Louisiana Purchase -- hence the French themes.

That STL logo is really impressive. Very, very classy. Edmonton's looks like a cartoon, I can't take it seriously. It's really just unspeakably bad.

Missouri in general, and I'd say quite a bit more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Un...04-1804-03.png

Jefferson was ready to pay $10 million for the port of New Orleans, and ended up paying $15 million for one third of the current United States. Well played, Napoleon.

curse edmonton for using a heraldic shield for an emblem! everyone knows TFC did it first, how unoriginal can those fuckshits get?? rawr!!

**Mojo** · 04-21-2010, 02:23 AM

Whats with the fucking ball going into logos? Its so god damn childish, we know its a fucking soccer team you don't need to show the ball in the logo.

fuck those assholes for wanting to distinguish themselves from other sports!

**Chewy Unikronik** · 04-21-2010, 06:32 AM

Now I know why I dislike this one so much. It's too much like another bad logo, from Toronto!

Black, Blue, and Beveled!!!

**flatpicker** · 04-21-2010, 07:47 AM

^ and I hate that logo too!

Why did the Jays change a good thing?

**Chewy Unikronik** · 04-21-2010, 08:04 AM

As much as I love my Jays, I will NEVER fully back them until they go back to this:

Anyone living in or near Toronto knows how popular this logo is. It's on almost every ball cap you see.

What blew me away a month ago was to see how many stores were carrying hats with this same logo, in places like Queen's and Brooklyn. Seriously, next to Yankee caps, the old school Blue Jays were the most popular logo out there.

Anyone who thinks a logo is not important, needs to reassess...

I'm a FORMER SuperSonics fan. Not only because the team moved, but because they did THIS!!!!!!!

The middle one's ok. I know the green shield is based on the Gateway Arch, but it looks like the sole of a shoe. The two outer ones give the impression of a stalk of corn.

Personally, I wished the group had gone with their original logo when they were trying to join MLS:

**Whoop** · 04-21-2010, 09:11 AM

Either way, both are still better than Edmonton's.

**Redcoe15** · 04-21-2010, 09:20 AM

^^ Agreed!

I was bored so I came up with this logo which I'd like to see instead. Simple, same basic style but doesn't have any extra crap.
