Welcome to the MLS, Union.
BTW: Wasn’t the ‘Union” one of the names that the league pushed on Seattle??? Anywho, Its a fantastic name and fits Phili perfectly
REVIEW: Wow, this is, awesome. I couldn’t have wished for a better crest. The Crest-in-a-crest feel is more than good. A good mix of sharpness and traditionalism in this logo. The stars are a beautiful touch. The snake is the better part of this logo. Cause you know some nicknames will arise. The blue on blue was predictable (Sons of Ben). But the bronze/beige is there instead of yellow. The beige scares me. Just cross your fingers we don’t get a beige kit for these lads. When it comes to a kit, Ive came up with 4 possible solutions…
1: All Navy Home, Light Blue Away
2: Home Navy and Light Blue vertical stripes (Either reversed or white away)
3: Home White and Light Blue Vertical Stripes (All Navy away)
4: Navy Home, Beige away
Note: behind the “Union Snake” shield there are Blue/Beige Vertical stripes… Possible hint to a kit you might say???
Also, the team scarfs appeared…
Again, beige is a nice accent color, but not a good main one. The Latin on the second one means “Invite A Pirate” (Thanks Mando!!!). Wish it was more towards a Union or “Don’t Tread on Us”. You cant really put anything regarding the Revolution for obvious reasons.
I’ll be back when the kits are reaslesed!!! Hopefuly.

No, like “die before being vanquished or something like that”
Join or Die.
Doesn’t anyone around here visit BigSoccer??
They messed up the spelling, but since our language was, you know, TAKEN FROM LATIN, just by using common sense…
invgite…looks like invite, no?
aut…or
perite…looks like perish
“join or die”
which was written below the first ever political cartoon to appear in print, which was created by Ben Franklin of a snake that was cut into parts to symbolize the original colonies. c’mon people, use your brains.
oh, and what a friggin’ SWEET logo. best crest in mls, hands down.
WTF who spells Philly “Phili”?
Good shield for that football club
Really?! You guys like Philly Union. Sounds too much like DC United if you ask me. Why not go with Liberty City or is that too close to GTA? I think it’s kind of boring. Like the colors, though.
Love it!
A snake????
Look’s like the Chelsea FC logo, very similar.
To honor the history of the city is wonderful. This country was formed in this city and soccer is a sport rich with history. The connection is awesome. Adding Latin-classy. The name-unique. Colors-nicely picked.
The fans of the city had an input. I give the team credit for allowing the fans not just the supporters group to have input. It gives the fans ownership in the team.
My wife was at the ceremony and loved it. We booked our season tickets last night. Our entire family will be at the WPS event on the 18th. I am a soccer fan first. The colors, team and the like just sweeten the pot. I think the way the ownership group handle this has been classy. Copying others is easier, making ones mark is not. I say lead not follow.
Well done Union.
