NEW LOGO FOR MLS CHAMPS?

Written by: Gabe

A movement is afoot on Facebook to replace The Columbus Crew’s aging logo with this version at left. I think it is totally sweet. OK, I started it. Here are the details: I’m a designer. I’m a soccer player. I’m a Columbus native. And I love the Crew. After The Crew brought the MLS Cup [...]

COVER YOUR EARS, COLUMBUS

Written by: Gabe

Saturday I watched the Crew dismantle Kansas City with class, 2-0. IT WAS EASY. Maybe next year, the Wizards can cast a spell that makes them good. Ahem.

Bonus: This one [...]

LOLOLOL I seriously laughed out loud; what a super out-class by the well-capped back. Honestly, if Jorge Rojas played on [...]

CREW V REV: 1ST HALF THOUGHTS

Written by: Gabe

CREW 2-0 REVS Is New England even playing in this game? I expected this to be essentially a cup-match-level battle. This could easily be 4-0 Crew at this point, as the Revolution have done next to nothing for 45 minutes. In addition to their single pathetic shot, I estimate 8 or 9 successful passes. In [...]
