I legitimately thought this was a joke involving some seventh tier South American side's crest. I cannot believe someone was paid thousands and thousands of dollars for this.

Someone did something similar but with uniforms, and they bothered to take the time to come up with area-relevant sponsors for all 32 teams, because there's nothing more important that you need to spend hours and hours on when you're farting around with amateur design ideas in your spare time than corporate synergy.

That's fair, it certainly doesn't need to be badge-ish. I guess it doesn't even convey that this is a soccer league either.

They're both bad, and the "crest" logo is trendy enough that it'll look exactly as dated as this one looks now in 10 years time.

They didn't forget, they very purposefully left it out

quote:

Q: Why have you removed the ball and cleat?

The new brand's design is intended to say "soccer" without the literal ball and cleat. In the end, we decided that the inclusion of a ball and cleat is unnecessary as it dates us very quickly (due to the fast pace of innovation in our game) while many other ways exist to signal we are a soccer league. Our new brand will build meaning over time so that our new crest signifies soccer in North America and has a unique place in global sports.

And yet god knows how many people over the years have complained about the fact the league has a ball in its crest. Because the last thing you want to do is advertise the sport the teams in your league play.

I'm sure if the MLS got an offer anywhere near the size of what Barclay's pays, that poo poo would say "Bank of America MLS: The S is for Savings" on the diagonal line in the crest

Yes, because cleats and balls will both be passe in a few years, I'm sure.

I'm blatantly melting down over the crest outlines here, but in the logos that do have outlines, there's often no consistency in the color of the outline. Sometimes it matches the top half, sometimes the bottom half. Like, it's admittedly nitpicking, but it's also part of why this looks like such an unprofessional, in-house job.

Let me fall out the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
And the explanation:

WORDS: MLS stands for Major League Soccer.

SLASH: The slash refers to soccer’s speed and energy. The slash begins outside the perimeter and drives upward at a 45-degree angle to illustrate both the non-stop nature of our game and the rising trajectory of our league. It bisects the crest to create a “first half” and “second half.”

STARS: The three stars represent the pillars of our brand: For Club, For Country, For Community.

PERIMETER: The perimeter represents the lines that mark off the field of play.

FIRST HALF AND SECOND HALF: The first half contains MLS and the three stars. The second half is an open white space that brings you in and out of the MLS world.
