They have finally gotten rid of the old embarrassment
“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.”
-Eduardo Galeano
that is SUCH an improvement, well done disgusting Ohio neighbours to our south!
"SC" always rubs me the wrong way, but then again, it is Columbus.
What the hell - SC. Man I hate the SC.
Wait......Columbus Crew's Shitty Club?

We are in North America, its called Soccer(I don't like it either but that's a fact), the league is also call Major League Soccer.
Lets not forget the CSA(Soccer) here in Canada either.
I don't get the hate for having it named as SC, its actually factually and contextually more correct than FC will ever be on this side of the ocean.
But for me its either you go one way or the other, so the league should mandate a direction the teams should go in, otherwise change it to MLF.(lol!)
meh. I feel nothing. I'm off to discover what the number of lines and the checkered dancefloor represent. Such predictable tripe, no doubt.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Kind of looks like the Borussia Dortmund logo. Sorry, don't know how to load a picture from iPad.

9 stripes represent the other teams of the original 10. Oh, yeah, and they're going in an upward trajectory. What crap. The checkerboard for the passion of the fans... because they wave checkerboard flags ? The name Columbus, because they want to be authentically Columbus (nice one). Soccer Club to differentiate from the Football Buckeyes. A circular crest to signify unity / family (really ? Is that what that signifies ?)... all very predictable really.

Ha. And black and yellow.
Soccer is a term that has its origins in England, used as a term to distinguish association football from other types of football. In places where other types of football are dominant, the term is used to ensure that association football is recognized. Soccer is a term that comes from the very roots of the sport. Embrace it and stop being a snob.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
SC often means Sports Club or Sporting Club. It always does in Germany.
Many clubs had (and have) teams in other sports.

Looks like somebody pissed on it. Well done, KKKolumbus.

It's better than the last logo, but I've seen a few other designs that fans and amateur graphic artists have posted which I think are miles better. At least it's a change for the better and not a repeat of the San Jose Earthquakes.
Here's a few random ones I've seen online:

A checkerboard to represent their fans? I was wondering if they would have worked this in instead?
(not a serious suggestion)
Actually, the new logo, while generic, actually looks decent, I'll give that to them, even if it is pee yellow. No problem with "SC," unlike with Toronto there isn't a large contingent of people who are used to the sport from overseas so it is more reflective of their fan base.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
BvB's is clean and minimal. Columbus' looks like someone shat lines and checkerboards all over the place.
Columbus Crew S**k C**k
major upgrade over their old logo
that said, screw them!
Right idea, with minimal white/light spaces.
Really let's our lovely badge down, that; the one used in my avatar gets it right.
you must mean their new scarves :
Wow...that scarf is hideous.
Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
I can't unsee that....

Even deadspin commented on their horrible old logo.

kind of funny, the bar was SOOOO low with their old crest, that absolutely anything would be an upgrade.
The diagonal lines make it look like they're taking a collective piss. No surprise because, to me, no matter what they're new badge or identity is, they will always be the Pisstains to me! Maybe they should have rebranded themselves PSC Columbus (Piss Stain Crew Columbus).
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
Yeah, rather than representing the 9 other founding teams of MLS, trending upwards, you could say it's downward streams of piss at a trough urinal... or maybe up against a church fence (best not go there).
its not great, but ok, better then before.
Now other teams I would like to change crest are :
New York Red Bulls- I know that wont happen, but rather them called Metro Stars like before or call them New York FC or something, new crest that isn't Red Bull, Red Bull could still be on the shirt as the sponsor.
Houston Dynamo- Name is a bit weird and crest a bit kiddish.
New England Revolution- need a new crest, name and a new stadium. Look awful playing at the Patriots stadium, stadium way to big. Be good if they could move them in or closer to Boston then some small town 60 miles away.

^ There are a few good crest ideas for New England out there as well.
