Did I miss this on the board? If so, I apologize (although I did search for "Chicago," "Fire" and "MLS") and saw no mention of this travesty.

Colors are changing. Crest is changing. And, before you ask, yes that crest is meant to be an oval shape and looked stretched.






And if you're up for a good laugh and subsequent then I give you the following bullshite marketing-speak explaining this shite.

Reminds me of both an unfinished jack o lantern and COOOKIEEEE nom nom nom nom. But nice overly lyrical and pedantic explanation of it all, I guess?

It looks like they took Vancouver's crest and used RSL's colors.

No doubt. There are a ton of good concepts out there. My favorite was posted to the forums on SportsLogos.net by the member named Lafarge.

That is terrible.

Reminds me of the Colorado Rockies hockey team with the colors.

At least Louisville management isn't too proud and pompous to acknowledge that they fricked up. Chicago's management is doubling-down on this bullshite. Also, one of the names that was apparently being considered was "All City Chicago Fire Football Club."

Chicago Fire FC released a statement to the Sun-Times about reactions to the new logo: "The club always values fan feedback but we’re excited about our new badge and so we are not considering any changes at this time ... will be judged in years, not days"
