Fun fact. 16 out of 21 current managers (incl NYCFC and Orlando) have played in MLS as player.

“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Why Krafts are the worst MLS owners. Anyone who has gone to Gilette Stadium for an away game knows.

One thing bothers me: it's very conspicuous how these American writers neglect TFC's major influence on MLS 2.0. (it wasn't just building stadiums that changed MLS' culture), or the existence of Vancouver or Montreal (except in the one chart).Originally Posted by Yohan
Yeah, the Krafts are bad owners. They are also bad for the modern league. They reportedly fought the Designated Player rule, wanting to keep costs as low as possible. The Revs are basically a tax write-off that helps cover empty dates in the Patriot's stadium.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I would rather they just folded the Revs just so they can take away the franchise from this idiot owner, yes I realize that in the early years without Kraft there might not have been an MLS, however, he does not care about the team or league is just in it for the tax write-off. The Revs hosted the MLS Cup a numbers of years back and they made it to the final and Bob Kraft was not even there. With the league growing they need owners like the ones in K.C. who took over a Revs like franchise and made them one of the best off the field franchises in the league. It's too bad because Boston is such a great city and I think with a new soccer stadium closer to the city Boston could become a Portland a Seattle or another K.C. kind of franchise.

Not bad. One of the better new logos in MLS. I would have made two small changes, though. Firstly, the two pentagons representing the 5 boroughs should be a little bit bigger or perhaps given a small border around them to highlight them just a bit more. Secondly, I'm not really big on the font they used for the NYC text in the middle of the badge. Just a bit too plain for my liking, but it's not terrible by any stretch either. Actually, make it three changes, because I could do with a thinker band of orange on the outside.It's now official:

Other than that, it's a solid 4 out of 5 as crests go.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
^It looks very similar to another logo...can't put my finger on it?
