Starting in 2011, two new expansion teams will be joining the
MLS. Those two teams have unveiled their logos. The Vancouver Whitecaps
FC have been around in some form for over 30 years. The team name has been the pro soccer team moniker by deflate for 6 teams in 4 men's leagues and is also the current
women's league name. The current Whitecaps of the
USSF will move up to North America's highest pro league with the logo pictured left. The new logo is a welcomed change from
their current logo, which is very
cartoonish. It's not bad, very sleek but not much character. I like the baby blue and I don't know if the meant to but the almost have a interlocking "
VW" formed on the bottom blue. If they did mean it I wonder why they didn't complete the formation of it?
Now the other team scheduled to make their debut, will move up from the
USL to the
MLS. The Portland Timbers unveiled their logo with only one minor problem:
the fans hate it. Well not all of them but it seems a lot of people preferred
the old one. I personally like it. I also like the old one. I guess that's the conundrum. Did it need to be changed? Some are calling the new one too
cartoonish, unfinished looking, too busy, and many other negative things. It doesn't start well for a franchise when after it's unveiled at a public video display, the crowd chants vulgarities and boos. Watch
this video on YouTube. At first they cheer and awkwardly applause then it's like it hits the crowd what they are looking at and then turn on it. Relax Portland. It's not that bad.
