The new FC Cincinnati logo has been unveiled, and while it looks like the old one only modified, it turns out there is more going on than meets the eye. Indeed, the badge of many MLS teams functions as more than just a logo, often holding a deeper meaning, with subtle design cues relating to the area that the team calls home.
Other’s, not so much. Take the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, for example (below left). Their logo, while awesome, is merely a stylish representation of the city's two biggest natural attractions, the Western Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Head south to Seattle and you’ll find one of the most popular teams in MLS, the Sounders (er, Sounders FC). Not surprisingly, their badge (above right) prominently features the city’s iconic Space Needle. Like Vancouver’s, it’s as simple as that.
Further south, the Pacific Northwest’s other side, the Portland Timbers, also have a dominant symbol on their badge (below left), in this case an ax. That, of course, honors the area’s rich history as a logging center. The references don’t stop there though. Three angled chevrons represent the city’s participation in the old North American Soccer League in the ‘70s, the United Soccer League, and the MLS today. Also, the crest is slightly more circular than most badges and reflects “unity, wholeness, and the pursuit of perfection.”
The Chicago Fire’s logo (above right), at first glance, also seems pretty straightforward, evoking the image of a firefighter's badge. A stylized “C” takes inspiration from the way that letter is used by fellow Windy City sports teams the Cubs and Bears. The star surrounding the “C” is echoed by the city flag of Chicago. The stars stand for The Great Chicago Fire in 1871, the two World’s Fairs (1893 & 1933) held in the city, and the Ft. Dearborn Massacre.
Orlando too has a deceptively simple badge (above). The shape of the badge is a holdover from their USL team, while the color purple was chosen because no one else in the league was using it. The lion was chosen because it “is strong, proud, and stoic. The king of the jungle never shies away from an opponent.” A subtle crown on the Lion's head represents the club’s dominant run in the USL. The mane of the lion, made to look like sun rays, of course, is a nod to Central Florida’s copious amount of sunshine.
Asking around the Cincy Shirts offices, the badges for Columbus and Atlanta got favorable reviews.
Columbus recently redid theirs, as their previous badge (below left) was considered by some to be the worst in all of professional sports. The new one is a circle, but a small crest with the number 96 inside honors the old shield as well as the year the club was founded. Nine diagonal lines refer to the other charter members of MLS, of which Columbus was one. A checkerboard pattern of the team’s colors is a shout-out to the fans.
Atlanta (above right) also has a circular badge but in their case it honors the city’s seal as well as the 1996 Olympics which were held there. The “A” is obvious and while the nickname exists elsewhere (including Minnesota and D.C. in MLS), here it signifies the many cultures that make Atlanta great. Five stripes represent the pillars of the team’s character which are unity, determination, community, excellence, and innovation. The black stripes are also a nod to Atlanta's history as an important railroad hub.
Which brings us back to Cincinnati and the new FC Cincinnati badge, which as a lot going on, especially compared to other MLS badges. As the image below shows, the city’s topography, the location of the club’s home pitch, it’s time in the USL, and more.

A few months ago, I found myself caught up in excitement of cryptocurrency mining pool and its high returns. Initially it was through an online platform, the company had an impressive website with good testimonies from other customers, I was convinced to invest without knowing it was a fake crypto mining platform set up by scammers to defraud customers which I unknowingly fall for, the loss I took after getting involved with this platform almost ruined my life but Thanks to silvercrackx RECOVERY COMPANY for their intervention, help and professional service to ensure the swift recovery process of my investment with the platform. I was devastated after losing $425,000 worth of ethereum to the platform just within a few months of growing my investment, they suddenly denied me the withdrawal of my funds just when I was due to withdraw procedures and compliance for withdrawals, I tried reaching out to the customer service team but they became hard to reach. The story kept changing: first, it was a server issue, then it was additional security checks. Eventually, all communication stopped and that was when it hit me that I had been scammed. I tried using the police but they were unable to help in such a situation, I started researching online to find out if there was any way to recover my funds and that was how I came about silvercrackx RECOVERY COMPANY through a crypto blogs where people mentioned recovery firms that specializes in retrieving lost crypto from fraudulent platforms. silvercrackx RECOVERY COMPANY being the highly recommended Firm I quickly reach out to them through their contact details, they responded and requested for details and proofs of my investment with the crypto mining platform which I provided before they move on with the recovery processes. After about almost a week of their operations and professional services, they managed to recover back my investment of $425k worth of ethereum back to my wallet. it was such a huge relief for me and I’m so grateful to the team for such lifesaving help rendered.

Earlier this year, I came across what seemed like a once in a lifetime investment opportunity, I thought it could help build some savings. I’m a nurse who lives on a modest salary and any extra income goes toward my children’s future. The opportunity involved an online auction investment platform where people could buy and sell valuable items, and investors like me could earn commissions from the transactions. It sounded intriguing and promised steady returns. After a few months of actively engaging the activities of this platform, I saw my profits grow into some decent value but trouble was not far behind as I met some unforeseen withdrawal complications upon attempting to withdraw my funds. The platform kept delaying the process for various reasons claiming they were protocols, protocols that I wasn’t aware of until that point. However, the delays kept piling up and they kept asking for more deposits. As luck would have it, I found help in the services of DARKRECOVERYHACKS RECOVERY CORP through the recommendations of friends online. I’m glad they did not disappoint me otherwise I wouldn’t be here today sharing my testimony. Thanks to DARKRECOVERYHACKS RECOVERY CORP, I was able to recover my funds from the investment company, and I’m slowly getting back on my feet. I hope my story serves as a warning to others, be wary of opportunities that seem too good to be true. I can’t thank DARKRECOVERYHACKS RECOVERY CORP enough, their team of professionals will assist you in the highest possible level to ensure you reclaim what rightfully belongs to you, contact details are as follows,

Investing in cryptocurrency can be a double-edged sword. While the potential for significant gains is enticing, the risks are equally substantial. Many individuals, drawn by the allure of quick profits, have fallen victim to scams that prey on our desire for financial growth. I, too, found myself ensnared in this web of deception, losing over $82,050 to a fraudulent broker, My experience serves as a cautionary tale for anyone looking to venture into the world of crypto trading. my foray into cryptocurrency seemed promising. The market was booming, and with each successful trade, my confidence grew. However, my optimism blinded me to the signs of trouble. FINANCIALE, which presented itself as a reputable trading platform, turned out to be a sophisticated scamming scheme to defraud innocent and unsuspecting investors of their livelihood. I watched helplessly as my funds dwindled, realizing too late that I had fallen victim to a scheme designed to exploit inexperienced traders like myself. The frustration and despair of losing such a significant amount of money were overwhelming. I tried to recover my funds through various channels, but my efforts were met with roadblocks and dead ends. It was a challenging period, as the pressure to recover my losses only compounded my stress. Many hours were spent researching strategies and potential recovery options, but each attempt felt increasingly futile. Just when I was about to lose hope, I came across a recommendation to reach out to c o r e a s s e t i n c RECOVERY FIRM for retrieval of scammed funds. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out to them, and that decision changed everything. c o r e a s s e t i n c RECOVERY FIRM is a skilled recovery specialist company, they took the time to understand my situation and assured me that they had a proven track record of helping individuals like me recover lost funds.

The recovery process was meticulous but transparent and they kept me informed at every step, providing insights into their strategies and techniques for navigating the complexities of online scams. To my astonishment, within a few weeks, c o r e a s s e t i n c RECOVERY FIRM were able to reclaim 90% of my lost funds. The sense of relief I felt was indescribable, as I had nearly given up on the idea of ever recovering my money. My experience with c o r e a s s e t i n c RECOVERY FIRM has been overwhelmingly positive, and I am immensely grateful for their expertise and dedication.

Scheduled an appointment with SILVERcrackx C O R P to help recover my crypto that was held in a trading platform and the outcome was nothing short of what I had read about them while researching CRYPTO RECOVERY. While researching I weighed my options and SILVERcrackx C O R P was the best because of their clean records . I made contact with them immediately using their official email address SILVERcrackx AT G MAIL COM , upon reaching their team I provided them with all the transaction details I have regarding the failed investment and they made use of those details to track down the Scammers and recover over $295,000 I have invested with them . My initial request from the RECOVERY CORP was for them to recover both my invested funds and my ROI which turned out to have never existed in the first place , the numbers I was seeing on the website were falsified to lure me into investing more money with their company . If not for the intervention of SILVERcrackx C O R P these scoundrels would have gotten away with my money leaving me helpless . They offer great service to humanity which is what sets them above all other RECOVERY OPTIONS you might have in mind . You can as well quickly reach the RECOVERY CORP on Telegram with the username SILVERcrackx In case you get to experience delayed reply after writing their mail address . I am hoping that this info will help someone out there who is in dire need of a solution out of the unknown investment scam they have gotten themselves into , PEACE .
