nope it's too long and the name that the have is a good all ready
Plus they actually have ties to Real Madrid now.
Its official. The logo is correct and the name is officially "Sporting Kansas City."
It's on the MLS website....I like it "Sporting KC"
A fews points I found interesting from the news conference - fans will be known as members, members will not get charged for tickets to away games, and they should put a bronze statue of Preki up in front of the new stadium....
I thought I would be outraged about this, but I'm not. Maybe the new(ish) owners did a cost-benefit analysis and determined that the old brand just didn't have much built-up value.
HOWEVER
Notice to MLSE: if you do this with TFC I will rip off your head and piss down your throat. That is all.
anything, ANYTHING is better than the wizards so this is good.
^Yeah, the name is good, but that crest is ugly-stupid.
Could they really not have come up with something better than a rip-off of the E. Conf. logo?
Or maybe this proves that the conferences will be gone next year.

Tired of these generic Adidas jerseys and lack of creativity. Especially when it comes to away kits. Let's just flip the colours! Great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in portugal the reason teams are called "sporting" is because they have multiple teams playing different sports?
Sporting Clube de Portugal (Portuguese pronunciation: also known as Sporting or Sporting CP, and in English often unofficially referred to as Sporting Lisbon, is a Portuguese sports club based in Portugal's capital city of Lisbon. The club is particularly renowned for its football its teams. Athletes and supporters are often nicknamed Leões (The Lions) by its fans. department. With more than 100,000 registered club members

Time to get a sponsor guys. What about "Corn"?
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
in all seriousness though, i mentioned this awhile back:
unless adidas is looking for brand recognition (which is the only reason why i'd see them doing this), i think it'd be cool for them to also bring reebok (owned by adidas)into this. reebok has been manufacturing kits for quite some time now and would provide a breath of fresh air for a lot of the fans.
you could choose which brand you wanted to create your kits, doubling your choice and whilst keeping the adidas sponsorship agreement (they're both run by a single entity, not two seperate corporate divisions).
similar things could happen should the league ever be sponsored by nike (which i don't know why it hasn't happened when nike is american) and umbro.
also, check out their site and their fucking stadium:
http://kcw.io-media.com/
apples to oranges my ass. it's completely covered, looks gorgeous (although uninspired), the cheapest seats are $14, most expensive are $64, and they have.. drum roll please..
BENCHED SEATING IN THEIR SUPPORTERS SECTION.
http://www.insightkc.com/sportingbrand/index.html
they learned a lot from the stadiums and the new experiences that have come in MLS since TFC started.
i'd give my middle testicle for a roof/benched seating
I don't like SCKC, but I do like KCSC.
Why not just anglicize it, and use it as a community marketing tool to offer sports branding across several disciplines, not just soccer? Works for Madrid.
Kansas City Sports Club. Nothing wrong with that.
I don't know if I like "Sports" though... it doesn't have that noble sound that Sporting does.
Since Sporting is an Anglo word already, Kansas City Sporting Club would be fine too.
^ I agree that "Kansas City Sporting Club" would have sounded better.
But I also think "Athletic" would have been as good or better.
At least then they could have been referred to as "Athletics" or "A's",
Which is something Americans are familiar with.
Did you read the first post? The ownership plans to bring a Lacrosse and Rugby to their brand and have them plan in their stadium as well.
4 pages about the Wizards (they'll always be the Wizards to me), I can't believe it.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
^ Considering you robots are always looking for ways of obtaining a real heart, I'm not surprised you would have bad feelings about them dumping the wizard!
they'll always be the WIZ to me.
they'll always be the WIZ to me.
oh, and for anyone that cares, alaska airlines is sponsoring portland's kits.
enjoy seeing this logo..
The navy kit reminds me of th Whitecaps and the sky blue one reminds me of the Rapids...Colorado Rapids not the Rapid in Europe.

They explain the logo in detail here:

Doesn't make the logo better but it does give some insight into what everything means.
but does it explain why it has two snakes fucking on it?
Maybe they were inspired by Conan the Barbarian:
