Soccer in Nashville

Welcome to the forum, HirtMe.  : )

Not official, but leaked. The logo doesn’t look that bad as a crest on the jerseys.

Oh my that last jersey is AWESOME! Very much like that. 

[henburg]

I'm really just glad that they didn't screw it up with a name change. The shape of the crest is a bit awkward but I kinda like the new "N". My biggest gripe is that I don't love the more greenish-yellow they appear to have adopted, but overall I am ok with what we've seen so far.

[PaulChinetti]

The blue/gold has always been ok in my mind. I wouldn't have been mad at all if they went and got their own colors. 

Lord, I'm all hot and bothered about that last jersey. I hope that one is real.

I don't think so, it seems to be something mocked up with some stock Adidas templates. You can see here that it is the same template that FC Cincinnati just recently unveiled for their new jerseys-

It is a great looking jersey.

I think it is (or could be real), especially since Adidas most likely would just use the same style and change the color scheme and crest.

Thanks for the welcome. I can't believe how one sided this logo discussion has become. Wonder how much Ingram paid for it and how much merchandise they already ordered? They definitely  were going for a guitar head with six strings. The N being two v's for Ville. The only positive is with all the hate and the club remaining quite, there is only one way for it to trend going forward. 

One bright spot for those that like the old logo. Should be able to buy as much gear as you want for about half price relatively soon. By year end for sure.

[UTgrad09]

Almost as bad as the original logo.

 

I'm never supporting soccer in Nashville because of this. 

[MLBrumby]

I can  hear it all about 20 years from now:

"Hey man! Where'd you get the "Headphone N" jersey? They're so rare."

"Ebay! Snatched it up. Had to move fast."

"Damn! You pay under $1000 for it?"

"Yep. Remember how bad we sucked?"

[TheRaglander]

I must be in the minority.  I am not a huge fan of the logo but I think the kits are pretty cool.   Maybe in the press release they will explain the logo a little more... other than it looking like a dumbbell.  

[e-dub]

This leak looks much better to my eye. Well into those first two jerseys, particularly the navy/yellow one.

[DDIG]

I actually really like the kits. They are distinctive and they will be memorable unlike a lot of MLS kits:

I like the third one which looks like the German national team a bit.

I just don't see the guitar head.  I mean, it resembles the headstock a bit...but without at least part of the neck or the "tuning buttons" (or whatever they're called), I think it's a stretch for them to believe most fans will see it that way.  Heck...I'm a songwriter and guitar player and I don't see it unless I really use my imagination.

 

[e-dub]

Weird. My father played guitar my whole live and I've never seen a headstock that looked like those. He played a Spanish guitar, though.

[Titans10]

Should have started with a Gibson headstock as the outline, incorporated the tristar into the center and worked in the name and called it a day.

My crude attempt:

Doesn't necessarily make the new logo better...but at least would enable them to say, "we patterned the design after the headstock of a Gibson guitar"

Let’s hope our new stadium looks like this beauty about to open in Minnesota 

[21jump]

That's a beautiful stadium. It looks like a small version of Bayern Munich's stadium in Germany. They actually have the same name.

Per Nashville Soccer facebook pages, TN State Fair has voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit against metro without prejudice. 

Tomorrow at 4pm at Marathon Music Works, MLS2Nashville will have a big event. Probably going to be branding and new logo reveal. Perhaps updated stadium renderings?

So.... that's it?  No more "lawsuit" hurdles?

Official MLS brand unveiling IMHO.

Unless there are appeals.

Nashville's MLS team is taking another step toward its inaugural 2020 season.

The team will make a major announcement at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Marathon Music Works. The club is expected to announce its team name, logo and color scheme for its first season next year.

The event Wednesday is open to the public, although attendees must RSVP through the club's Eventbrite posting, which can be found on NashvilleSC.com. The venue holds fewer than 2,000 people.

Music, drinks and other entertainment will be provided during the announcement event. Fox Sports reporter Sara Walsh will host.
