New Arlington Logo

[Anonymous]

The board changed the logo to rebrand in advance of the 50th anniversary and to clarify ARL (so ASA = Alexandria)?

Arlington should form another Club who has a more community-based focus since at 10,000 players it is way too big to adequately provide the needs and individual attention of players.

Not a fan of Arl, but oddly like this new logo. It’s very retro, just like my 1970s-style New Balance sneakers.

Yeah, so the pentagon symbol suggest a DoD club?

I'm not sure there was too much confusion about Arlington and Alexandria.

But that Board should be run out for approving that cheesy logo. Did they choose a new one by having a contest among their first-grade rec players?

It's also a "modern" logo that uses an image of a soccer ball that literally no one has played with for the last 15 years.

Rumor has it the putting in another fee for all players. A PLL (personal logo license ) a fee that gives you the right to wear the logo on you kit. Similar to what stadiums do to seats of season ticket holders. Arlington Soccer sees the opportunity to angle the parents of Arlington out of an additional $$$.

I'd gladly pay to wear the old logo rather than that POS...

Yes! That was the first thing that jumped out at me.

I would love all of you to mock mercilessly what is easily one of the stupidest decisions Arlington has ever made, replacing a perfectly adequate logo that represented Arlington (with a portion of the county seal enclosed within a red A) with new logo that is very dated and very unattractive. http://www.arlingtonsoccer.com/news-and-events/news/arlington-soccer-unveils-updated-logo

Arlington Soccer is now the undisputed king of DC metro soccer in at least one category: most hideous logo....

Ugly..

They are going to make a mint from people stockpiling uniforms with the old logo...

A lot of douches are going to have to update their car magnets.

That said, the OP has put a dent in the reputation of Arlington parents who take themselves too seriously. He/she definitely deserves a tip of the cap.

Yes parents concerned about the logo of a club

Umm, I think the post was in jest. Now it looks like somebody else takes themselves a little too seriously.

Have you seen the new logo? I think a lot of people wish Arlington Soccer were joking with the new clown logo....
