The Commentator Conundrum

Written by: Gabe

Last night, DC United was gracious and savvy enough to provide a live online video feed of the US Open Cup match against Columbus.

CREW LOGO MARCHES ON

Written by: Gabe

My proposed refresh of the Columbus Crew’s logo has become unexpectedly controversial.
