I'll start with the New England Revolution. Now that it looks like DC will get a new stadium New England will be the only original MLS without a stadium of their own. Also, a crest for the "extreme" 90s

Aptly described.

The Columbus Crew is pretty stupid looking too. I guess it's a tribute to the blue collarness of Ohio but it would be badass if they switched to this

I'd totally watch the MLS if that was real.

For any team I think Kansas City laid down the blueprint on rebirth. Get a stadium, a new look, and possibly a new name. As for post 96 teams I think Real Salt Lake is the dumbest name but it seems to work for them.

Oh, and Chivas. But I guess they just had a "makeover."

Columbus and San Jose are the ones that immediately come to mind.

I don't care for the new SJ Quakes brand. I don't like the all-red kits that everyone in MLS already has. I don't like the crest, as it looks more like a company logo than a football logo. I also hate all logos that have a soccer ball. It's dumb.

Also, is it time yet for MLS to update it's silly logo? It's a cleat kicking a soccer ball in the style of all the American sports (NFL, NBA, MLB). I say ditch "MLS", call it something else entirely, and update the league logo.

The NE situation sucks, and as long as Kraft is still the owner it probably won't change. The team currently doesn't pay rent at Gillette and it's good business for Kraft just the way it is. He has no incentive to pay for a new stadium and it probably won't change for the time being.

A stadium in Boston would be great and hopefully it gets done, but I am very skeptical about it right now

Why do all of these clubs feel the need to include a picture of a soccer ball in the logo? Looks terrible

Yeah I've been saying for a while that they need to either move to Boston or atleast be close enough you can take public transit for the stadium. A crest redo is overdue. I saw this one made, not perfect but not a bad starting point



The tree is from the flag of New England and the 6 stars represent the states of New England. Some of these aren't bad either

Not a fan of the new San Jose crest but I do believe that their new stadium will be done next year so it's good that they are moving out of their current one that looks like one a high school football team would use. Other than one MLS Cup Columbus is pretty forgettable. I guess it doesn't help being in such a small media market and not having a big name player.

Pretty close....it's the home stadium for the San Jose State football team.

I want to see a rebranding of Houston. I'm still not sure what a dynamo is and I dint like the crest.

I do love the orange with baby blue accents


As a Dynamo fan, I completely agree. The original name was going to be 1836 because that was the date of the founding of Houston as a city. It was eventually changed due to it also being the year Texas left Mexico, so it caused a bit of an uproar. I would like something more to do with the city. I know the Texans had Apollo as an option when they were starting out. I think that would be an awesome name for a team.

Also, even if they don't change the name, they need to change the crest. It's just too bland and doesn't really have anything to do with the city.
