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.

I learned the hard way that not every cryptocurrency investments platform you see online is a legitimate investment platform, I had been seeking to invest into cryptocurrency investments I came across this site which looked real and genuine with testimonies from investors testifying of making successful withdrawals from the investment platform. It was all a planned scheme all along and I had invested $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency in this particular platform, it all started like most modern day investments but when I requested for withdrawals all I got was excuses and silence. It was my life savings and all I got back then, I had worked diligently for years saving up just to lose it in a blink of an eye. I didn’t give up on my money and with the help of COREASSETINC RECOVERY FIRM I was able to make recovery. The recovery process was seamless and swift, gradually they traced my lost funds to the scammers and in a short space of time my recovered funds were transferred back in my bank account. What could I have done without the help of this amazing recovery team which came to my aid when I had lost all hopes, start your recovery by sending a detailed email to coreassettinc@gmail.com to address your situation.

With my limited experience from working in an IT company, I assumed I could easily navigate the crypto investment world. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Just two months after joining an investment platform I discovered through YouTube ads, I was scammed. I had frequently downloaded apps and other items from YouTube ads, trusting that if YouTube approved the ads, they were legitimate. I even conducted my own research on the company, and everything appeared clean. Confident in my decision, I went ahead and invested USDT182,000, but I didn’t receive a single payout.I tried everything within my power to resolve the issue myself, but the company kept asking for a certain legal fee to reopen my account for withdrawal. Frustrated and desperate, I decided to involve a third party to oversee the situation. That’s when Coreassetinc Recovery Firm came into the picture and things took a turn. They advised me not to pay any more money to the fraudulent company, explaining that even if I paid the fees, the company would still withhold my funds.Working with Coreassetinc Recovery Firm , I embarked on a recovery path that taught me more about the internet and how it operates. Their guidance enlightened me on many things I initially didn’t know about online scams. After a successful recovery, I gained a deeper understanding of the investment process and how scammers trick people into believing the fake numbers on their websites are real. This experience was a significant learning curve for me, making me more cautious and informed about online investments.
I am forever grateful to the Coreassetinc Recovery Firm team for their crucial role in this process. Without their expertise and intervention, I would have thought my funds were lost forever. They proved that FUNDS RECOVERY was possible and helped me reclaim my money. Their knowledge and professional approach were instrumental in turning around what seemed like a hopeless situation.

Despite varying beliefs about hackers, my experience with several led me to recognize Coreassetinc Recovery Firm as exceptional. Communication occurred via both EMAIL: Coreassettinc @ GMAIL COM and Telegram, utilizing the Username: coreassetinc. My aspiration to build a substantial portfolio capable of enduring recessions or financial crises during retirement prompted me to invest all my savings in cryptocurrency. Regrettably, this endeavor did not unfold as anticipated. Initially investing with AGROFX in mid-October when Bitcoin was valued at $34,667, I managed to secure approximately 20 bitcoins, equivalent to $693k. However, as the price of Bitcoin surged to $72k, attempts to withdraw a portion of my investments were futile. The company’s insistence on a fee to unlock the withdrawal feature raised suspicions.Engaging with various hackers initially, none proved legitimate; their motives focused on depleting remaining funds rather than offering assistance. However, on my third attempt, after encountering a crypto thread discussing Coreassetinc Recovery Firm , my fortunes changed. Coreassetinc Recovery Firm took charge of recovering my funds, successfully completing the task within 72 hours. I strongly encourage anyone who may have fallen victim to recent crypto scams to seek assistance from Coreassetinc Recovery Firm. Based on my firsthand experience, their exceptional services speak volumes, but true appreciation only comes from working directly with them.

My life was almost financially ruined when I got involved with brokers I discovered on YouTube. However, I was fortunate enough to seek help from Silvercrackx @ g mail .com when I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. This group of hackers displayed exceptional skills and knowledge in retrieving lost assets. While I had read numerous reviews about hackers and their ability to recover lost investments, I decided to proceed with Silvercrackx recovery firm, and it turned out to be a wise choice. I must admit that I was initially scared, as I had come across comments from people who encountered fake recovery hackers while attempting to retrieve their lost investments. However, upon reaching out to the team on Telegram @silvercrackx, their prompt response and detailed recovery process reassured me of their legitimacy as recovery hackers.
Although it took some time for them to locate the account to which the scammers had transferred my funds, they successfully tracked them down and retrieved my investments. One of the valuable lessons I have learned from this experience is to never trust anything related to online investments again. It seems that very few, if any, are legitimate nowadays. I have realized that it is far better to keep my money safely in my bank account than to invest in any program about which I know very little.
If you ever come across a broker named Stacy Wallace on YouTube or Instagram, be aware that they are not legitimate brokers but rather individuals attempting to steal from the vulnerable . I am grateful to now have Silvercrackx recovery firm by my side, serving as a cybersecurity agent to protect me from any form of cyber threats.
