Anonymous said:I went down to the fan shop yesterday and couldn't find that one specific logo anywhere. I guess they finally fixed it, or whatever the hell happened.
Now, there are four chairs sitting there too. Personally, I’m not just going to grab the top part—you gotta get the bottom set as well. That’s six chairs easy.🙄
We really need to step up our game for the Champions League and get those new jerseys. There's no other way.☕
And the crest... the quotation marks look flat as a board, and the letters are practically drowning in that blue border. That "H" should have been at least a millimeter wider to actually stand out.
I mean, if you don't care about the little details, then fine, whatever—but if you don't, you clearly don't get it.
I couldn't agree more! Honestly, couldn't we all use a little more of that perspective?
Los Angeles FC is hitting its 100-year milestone, yet we still don’t have a truly *defined* crest. And when I say defined, I mean a complete technical specification. I’m talking about more than just a general idea. We need everything documented: the exact shape and dimensions, the specific font used, the precise curvature and height of those vertical bars on the sides, the exact color codes, and even the specific thickness of that blue border. It should be a formal, technical blueprint with exact measurements and proportions—the kind of thing you’d see from any major, well-organized organization in the US. Wouldn't it be better to have it all laid out perfectly?

I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about this layout. Does anyone else feel like the flow here is a bit off, or am I just overthinking the design? It’s an interesting approach, but sometimes less really is more, right? What are your thoughts on how this space functions?
😁
So, it feels like we’re seeing a different version of the Los Angeles FC crest every single day. One version is on the stadium scoreboard, another looks slightly different on the exterior signage, there's a third one up in the stands, a fourth on the old jerseys, a fifth on the brand-new kits, and then a sixth version shows up in official paperwork... Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like we can't catch a break with this branding?
So, we’ve got the formal ones, then there are the versions with the star, then the ones featuring a wreath—sometimes it's olive branches, sometimes laurel, or even a mix of both. You'll see some with those gold accents cutting through the checkers, others without them at all. Then there are the variations with a gold border versus those with no border. Some have a thick blue outline that dwarfs the red squares, while others have a thin line or a border that matches the square exactly. There's the version that just says Los Angeles FC, then the ones that say NK Los Angeles FC or HNK Los Angeles FC. Some feature those vertical divider lines on the sides, or maybe they have "19" on the left and "11" on the right, or "19" on the left and just a single line on the right. You'll find some with curved lines following the circular edge, and others with straight lines—some sitting higher than the checkers, some lower, and some perfectly aligned. There are even some versions where the crest sits there totally plain with nothing on the sides... and finally, When you look at everything we've listed here, isn't it clear that every single possible combination is on the table? 😁With so many different elements to work with, just imagine how many possible combinations we could create?
Is it just me, or is it finally time for Los Angeles FC to sit down and actually define who they are? After a century of existence, shouldn't the club finally nail down a definitive crest, a signature flag, a consistent logo, a unique font, and a solid brand identity? It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for that sense of total cohesion. Wouldn't a unified look make everything feel more official? 🤷 )
You don't have to look very far to see it. Los Angeles FC has such an incredibly deep and storied history, hasn't it? But if you really think about it, many of the most vital parts of our legacy only exist today because of the sheer passion of a few dedicated individuals. It wasn't through any organized club strategy or corporate oversight that we kept our heritage alive—it was purely thanks to those people who refused to let it fade. Isn't it amazing how much can depend on a little bit of heart?
For instance, you can actually see what the original Los Angeles FC crest looked like.
It really just needs a bit of polishing, some fine-tuning, and a modern touch—once we settle on the specific details—and there you have it, a new logo without all the unnecessary overthinking.
The flag is described quite simply: it’s split horizontally into two equal parts, red on top and blue on the bottom, with the word "Los Angeles" written boldly right through the middle, using colors that mimic our beloved American tricolor. Now, we just need to officially define everything, get it down on paper, draw it up, and make it official.
That’s how the major clubs handle things, and clearly, Los Angeles FC hasn't quite reached that elite level of organization even after a century.
