Expansion Rumors Megathread

[21Architect]

I hope another Supporters Club gains momentum in Miami.

The Southern Legion twitter feed is lame and there promo video annoys me.

I’m watching on local news 10 (ABC)

This is fokking exciting

 

[21Architect]

I think it’s incredibly awkward (but not surprising) that no team name, colors, logo nor start date was announced.

 

[Vallos]

That is what I was looking forward to seeing.

60-90 days away for each.

Do they intentionally stagger each of the announcements I mentioned to keep interest hot?

 

[Kjbert]

Local news reported 2020 start date

Check back with them in 4 years.

Yea. What a waste of time that was.

You probably already know this:

"The new team is scheduled to begin play in 2020, probably at a temporary site until the permanent stadium is ready in 2021. The team name, logo and colors will be rolled out in the next few months, with input from fans, according to Beckham and his co-owners. There have been hints black and white will be in the color scheme."
Black? Surely they jest.

I knew about the 2020 stuff but not the rest. Thanks.

I guess black could work for away and home whites? Black at home would result in multiple heat strokes for Miami’s side.

Vallos, are you from Miami?

 

[Fantazma]

when is nashville starting ? same year?

Born in NYC, but raised in Miami for my formative years (big Dolfan). Most of my family are still down there. Anything Miami will always have a soft spot for me.

Black and white..... Real-style home jerseys??? Ugh.... I have no problem with home Whites since they’re in South Florida, but they better not miss a prime opportunity to distinguish themselves.

The announcement today was a load of crap, and the branding exercise will probably be rigged. There are articles dating back we'll over a year saying they have been working on the branding behind the scenes. What a letdown.

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Did they even officially announce when their first season is? Wthout that it means nothing IMO.

 

[Kjbert]

What's wrong with black and white? Surprisingly, there isn't a black and white team in MLS.

LAFC are going with black and gold. There are a number of red and black strips.

Black and white would be unique. The Spurs and France whites are two of the more classic kits in the world.

Black and white says Newcastle and Juventus to me.
It would be nice if the Miami club stick to the tradition of bold colors that’s been used by the other teams in the city. If MLS owns the Fusion IP they could do worse than an update on that

Right. I have nothing against black and white in the abstract, but that's not Miami.
