Remember, people actually got paid and likely paid really well to come up with that boring name and most basic of logos. Good for them I guess, but I wouldn't necessarily want my name shared for that work.

Tepper would have had final approval at every step of the way. The marketing firm could have had some other great logos. Who knows.

yeah, I got no experience in that field....and basically could of come up w/ that exact name and logo.  I mean that is pretty bare bones.  

I mean I wouldn't call it bad.  But is is about as boring and predictable as you could get.    Would have liked a different color scheme to be honest at least.  Carolina has enough folks in the blue family.  Could of at least ventured into a gold pairing w/ a color given the crown angle. 

 

BoA’s black/blue palette forced their hand.

I am glad that MLS teams are no longer adopting stupid nicknames like Galaxy and Crew.  Less is more, keeping it simple and classy.  I would have been OK with Charlotte Crown FC but this is works for me.

Soccer teams don't traditionally have names, which is why most MLS teams don't. They can have a "nickname" but it's never part of the title.

Charlotte FC is perfectly in keeping with the soccer naming standard. Liverpool FC, Norwich FC, Chelsea, Burnley, Preston Northend... that's how euro-football teams are named. when they have 'mascot' names it's generally something historical like Hotspur

[Pantera1]

I would like it if they took the name "Crown" but in today's climate, I don't think it's likely. Cries of "Symbol of European imperialism and oppression!!" from protesters at the stadium.  Yada yada yada bullsh*t.

Yep, most of the Premier League teams don't  have official nicknames in their club name.  Most have nicknames that have organically come about and have become part of the soccer culture.  It will be interesting to see what it becomes for Charlotte FC.

I get trying to keep it traditional but watching reruns of Supermarket Sweep  is more exciting. They are going to have to come up with something or instead of merchandise they will be selling the next my pillow.
