They literally copy and pasted from Albania's flag:  Bicephallic eagles are pretty rad though:  AEK Athens. Formed by Greeks fleeing Constantinople, the badge was chosen to reflect the Byzantine Empire. Someone mentioned Roma's badges from the 70s. I prefer the one they used from 1997 to 2013 because it has Romulus and Remus being suckled by the she-wolf which I've always found so  : Then they went and MLS'd it up a bit:  Looking at their cross-town rivals, was anyone surprised that Lazio ended up being the team favoured by unrepentent fascists?  I love this one just because it looks like the guy who ordered the kits had a stutter:

I quite like English ones since they're quite heraldic but especially Southamptons because it's just so cute: Barnsley had a cute one too back when they were in the Premiership in 1998:  Then they hired the people who designed the  North of the border, I think it's funny that the two grandest-looking badges belong to Inverness and St. Johnstone:

It's fitting that the badge, like the team name, is dumb and boring.

Crazy Ted posted:Everything about that Atlanta team is loving stupid. Let's put an MLS team in a city where the NBA team couldn't get 10,000 people to playoff games when they had Dominique Wilkins, had middling attendance when the Braves won about 58 division titles in a row in baseball, burned through two different NHL teams decades apart, and has a hard time even getting a full house for NFL games. But there is apparently this secret untapped "soccer fan" market that will show up by the tens of thousands for this team THIS IS DIFFERENT THIS IS THE FUTURE They are also adding multiple teams in Florida, which is nearly as bad as a sports market.

Alain Post posted:They are also adding multiple teams in Florida, which is nearly as bad as a sports market. Orlando actually makes sense. They've built the team into something watchable, marketed in pure carpet bombing fashion, and basically painted the town purple. They're a good new team. They did it right. Atlanta is already doing the focus group poo poo, sanding all the edges off in a town that doesn't give a gently caress about anything. I'm looking forward to their implosion so a better supported team can move up.

Do they pronounce "the real" the English way with one syllable or the Spanish way with two? And if it's the Spanish way, what royalty are they representing in Salt Lake City? The Mormon King?

WE'LL JUST RANDOMLY PICK ONE OF THE BIGGEST CLUBS IN THE WORLD AND STEAL A NAME WHOSE ORIGINS AND MEANING WE ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS ABOUT" the rapids were almost "arsenal colorado," which is arguably just as stupid, if you look at it from a "you're going to be small-time as gently caress forever because of this poo poo" perspective
