[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a VR player, I don’t have any issues with the coaches or the program itself. What I did realize this weekend, however, is how misleading the MLS Next branding can be for families. I spoke with several parents who thought they were joining an MLS Next team, not MLS Next 2.

Looking more closely, it’s clear that VR and other clubs are presenting themselves as MLS Next, even when they’re not. I understood this distinction before joining, but seeing the MLS Next patch on my son’s jersey drove home the point—MLS is blurring the line between the two leagues. In doing so, they’re helping clubs grow and, intentionally or not, quietly blending the leagues. The strategy is working too, given that our team is made up almost entirely of new players from other clubs.  So much confusion![/quote]

Not confusion, intentional deception on the clubs part hoping parents don't do the deep research.  Otherwise the clubs would be upfront on what you are buying into.  [/quote]

My son is also on the MLS Next Academy (that is the new name MLS Next has given instead of 2) with many new club members. We were told at a meeting and through an email exactly what the team was, and it was also explained before tryouts what the team was. So, no misleading on VRSC's end, but I do agree with you about the patch and MLS Next not making a clear distinction. [/quote]

What about the PRE MLS NEXT.. is that marketing? False advertisement? Or what?[/quote]
