Ok ok, perhaps: Minus the Project 2010 and the segment snake Gadsden Snake (even though the snake would be awesome).

Of all the animals that the US could have on their badge, the Eagle is probably the best suited.

There's too much white space, it has a silly font that already looks dated, and the bizarre stylized football is silly. There's nothing about that banal shield, other than the fact that it's 10 shades of green, that makes it distinctly Irish. The former crest you guys used in the 1990's was awesome. But this one looks like something a hung-over 1st year design student would poo poo out on a Sunday night with a Monday morning deadline.

So, in pretty much every competition outside of CONCACAF, we are huge underdogs. Also, I agree that it totally sucks the Teabaggers co-opted that flag--I have to think of another Nats-related tattoo, now

We've hosted one World Cup and qualified for each one since 1990, we routinely win our Confederation tournament, and we frequently beat top-tier teams. We're a second-tier power and perform about as expected given the sport's relative place in the hierarchy of American athletics. The 1990 team were underdogs. Now we're merely average. This isn't to say the joy is gone. I'm pretty proud of what we've accomplished in 20 years. It's just that constantly claiming to be some kind of Miracle On Ice-style upstart gets to be a little tired as the years go by. Nothus fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Apr 30, 2010 |

luvd posted:If Illustrators designed football shirts So I went to this last night  and I figure y'all might want to see a bunch of low-quality, poorly composed phone camera shots of what they had.  The invite said you could customize a shirt with a special Boston-only graphic (shown here), but the shirts were $45 and not exactly as custom as I had in mind (you could pick what colors the text was printed in, that's about it). I was expecting a little more hands-on design input, with like markers and stuff, but that's probably just me.  Folding the shirts as they came off the printer.  Team polo shirts that greeted you as you entered the gallery. Told you these were lousy photos.  Each country featured had a wall, or half a wall, devoted to its design. This is South Africa.  Part of the Brazil wall. I figure the knockoffs of these should be in my neighborhood stores in a few hours.  Terrible, terrible photo of France  England's lion  Netherlands wall. They had custom foosball tables set up, pairing each of the countries in the gallery against one another, i.e. the figures on the tables were the individual country logos. Brazil vs England, Netherlands vs France, USA vs South Africa. Wish I'd gotten a photo of the tables but they were always in use.  Close-up of USA hoodie that someone needs to buy me and we were trying to figure out how to shoplift  Info on the USA artist, evidently done without a proofreader  USA wall artwork. Weird how something that's otherwise totally GIT 'ER DONE works in this setup.  The USA crest as interpreted by Mr. Cartoon. I like it.  Wall photo of the boys in white in a huddle. Goddamn, a little less than a month from now... I didn't get a t-shirt, but I did get a poster, which I'll take somewhat decent photos of later. The place was packed the whole time I was there, open bar, tasty snacks. Did not awkwardly network for design work as much as I expected. Neat non-soccer soccer event.

AS says that Adidas has leaked the two model home Real Madrid kits... That one on the right is disgusting. The left is not so bad and looks like a return to something more traditional. Still no word on the Milan kits either.

That's the story but it wasn't the owner (argentinian clubs don't have owners). The group of people that founded the club decided that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boca_Juniors#Team_colors hello i am phone fucked around with this message at 01:42 on May 2, 2010 |
