Inventive spelling of invitational on this graphic.

To say nothing of the super strange fonts and stuff.

Let's make the typeface fun, but that's been the only thing fun this offseason.

The team had only six weeks off before preseason began today. It's crazy how short MLS offseasons are, especially if you get past the first round of the playoffs.

- Make an infographic for the preseason schedule. Make all the text lowercase so it looks less formal and corporate-ish.
- Here ya go .v1
- Actually we are contractually obligated to capitalize "Etihad"
- v2
- do all of "City Football Academy New York" for consistency
- v3
- why did you capitalize "Coachella Valley Invitational"?
- consistency as the same category of info as ECFANY?
- no
- .v4
- turns out we also have to capitalize MLS team names
- .v5
- it looks wrong to capitalize city names in one line and then not just below
- .v6
- well now "coachella valley, ca" stands out so give it caps
- .v7
- why did you re-capitalize "Coachella Valley Invitational"?
- you just said the same words in consecutive lines should be consistent?
- no
- but
- No
- .v8
- make "Friendly" and "Players Report" first caps
- .v9
- but not "vs."
- v10
- did I say to make "ET" lowercase?
- v11
- can you just once anticipate the right thing?

Guess they wanted to avoid playing this match in Harrison.

A real punch in the gut for me. Went from a Saturday game I was going to bring my brother to (gigantic Tottenham fan) to a game I can’t attend on a Wednesday that I will now be giving him my tickets to.

Based on our roster and injury situations, I think the bigger hit is moving this game earlier into the season.

Don't give it away yet, as the game can still be moved depending on if LAFC advances to the semifinals in the CONCACAF

The match will be rescheduled should LAFC reach the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup. So it can be moved again!

Which is very possible as their path is Real Espana (Honduras) then Alajuelense (Costa Rica) then Vancouver/Cruz Azul or Xelaju/Monterrey.

Messi game in the cold of March, Son game on a weekday. Suboptimal.

NYCFC loves that big star ticket revenue as long as the star is here on the other team's dime.

odd to move this when LAFC still can force another move.

Was SI stadium booked that original weekend in October?

They have no shame. Come pay a premium to see the other teams' stars! Do you think the other teams ever get pissed at CFG, just mooching off their investments in big players, and yet, despite having the assets to bring in similar caliber players to help elevate the league, refusing to do so and acting like a poverty-stricken farm team dependent on a develop and sell model?

This is also ignoring the potential that Messi won’t even be here due to international play

I expressed interest in a partial plan for the season so one of their salespeople sent this to me. That price is crazy for 3 MLS games, I don't care who's playing.

I expect Miami and LAFC really don't worry about us not having stars.
