    I like it b/c it looks like some of the English teams logos. I hope they get rid of the sky blue and keep it orange and black (like Holland baby!!!).

    I heard commercials on 97.9 the box this morning to buy seats already (begins April 1) LINK.

    I am not a big MLS fan but with Houston having a team, I'll start following it more.

    I gotta say at first glance that thing looks like a HASMAT type of safty seal you would see on the side of a toxic barrel on a train, but the more I look at it the more I think I like it..

    Stupid to put some "independence" crap... especially to ALIENATE Mexicans (us) from watching the team bearing something to remind us that we lost this vast land... :D

    I think it's not finished. I would like to see something OTHER than the Republic of Texas' independence YEAR, maybe when HOUSTON was founded? I don't like the colors.

    If you can see it on

    the dude doing the last check added his comments. I can tell that silly 1836 will change to something else. Here is what I can read from the writing:
    "screenwriting and production. '18-36' is still loose "
    "18-36 - [illegible] with them too much. otherwise, [illegible] looks"

    Notice that there is a signature from AD Michael Stapleton in the Final Check section, but the other dude[ette], CD Phoebe Cane hasn't signed.

    Is this how LARGE COMPANIES do their logos? Someone in the PRINT business chime in, please.

    That can't be the logo. That would mean that a sports team actually created a logo that's uglier than the Rockets snaggle-toothed dildo, and that is a physical impossibility...

    Heh... :D No wonder they chose an EASY way out of that one.

    Are you being serious there with the "I agree completely"? I can't see your " :rolleyes: " smiley thingie... ;)

    A-Train, I don't remember ANY soccer team having an ugly logo... this one is the BEST EVER:

    it will never happen but I love the Houston Sh*t Kickers

    I also like the Houston Stampede, but given soccer fan incedents thats not too p.c.

    I like the Hurricanes, and The Banditos, Diablos is cool too.

    HRFC, that sucks.
    I grew up playing soccer but have never been too big of a fan of the professionals like my other friends.
    Can someone tell me what does FC stand for???
    I know one or more teams are named FC and I would have preferred a more original name.

    "Football club" is a very crappy name.

    And that logo that was leaked is ugly as hell.

    Only about 6 billion people, including a few millions in this country btw.

    Anyways, I would've definitely chosen the Generals, it actually has to do with Houston's history and it sounds very cool and simple. The key really is to not overdo it.
