Have you ever wondered how every MLS team got its Logo? Well I did too!
I wanted to know what every Soccer Logo looked like through the years, season to season, so I decided to take an unreasonably long time to research each team and create this video. Hopefully you learn a thing or two, too! Each team is listed in the order that they were founded or became a part of the MLS. I hope you enjoy the evolution of every MLS logo! The league has come a long way!
In the future be sure to check back and find the playlist with future teams added to the MLS as the league expands, and clubs rebrand or change their logo designs!

The Old NE Revolution and Columbus Crew logos were peak definition of originality and iconic

[@JustinLearnsThings]

I would have been fine for those to stay forever!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

True. The new NER Logo is overloaded and hardly recognizeable from afar.

[@Pikabo0]

Revs is literally just a ripoff of the 1994 World Cup logo lol

[@OsmarMty]

@@Pikabo0 And? It's one of the most soulful Badges of any USA soccer team

[@csansolo]

Chicago Fire's original was class as well.

[@Punksarepunk]

I'm honestly still sad that the Crew changed from their circle logo to the new one. Nothing wrong with the new one really and I understand that the league has a lot of circles but the Crew one was by far my favourite in the league and tbh one of my favourites in the sport in general

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Agreed! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@de132]

Can't believe the Crew got rid of that second badge, so many layers (throwback to the original crest, Ohio flag circles, etc)

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah as a non crew fan, I too really liked that badge!

[@sheeple04]

Largely was due to the new ownership I think. The second badge was introduced during the time of Anthony Precourt owning the team, who wanted to move the team to Austin originally. After big fan protests, a new ownership group bought the Crew, and Precourt got an expansion team in Austin. The new badge may have been the new ownership trying to distance the club from Precourt. Along with that they wanted to change the name of the club to Columbus SC, so keeping the second badge wouldn't have worked very well if they rebranded to that. Tldr, in the end it wasn't very necessary this rebrand lol, as the Crew didn't drop the Crew part of their name.

[@willvintage3505]

Thank your reminding everyone of the glory of the Pre-MLS Sounders logo.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

I literally cannot get enough of it lol maybe my favorite logo of all time! 😂

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

The original Fire logo was 🔥. No need to change it. Also bring back the name Impact. Like it or not that's part of team history. You forget to mention the tree in Austin FC haves 11 leaves for each player.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Ahh nice catch on Austin! And no notes on the other things! You’d have my vote!

[@sdot5389]

A few details. The Philadelphia Union colors mirror the City flag of Philly. The Colorado Rapids new colors match those of the Colorado Avalanche, who have the same owner. The New England Revolution original logo is somewhat of a tribute to the logo of the 1994 World Cup, they are pretty close to each other.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Love those!! Thanks for sharing!

[@redrome9]

I personally still like the old Nashville logo and like how the old logo uses the stripes as strings on a guitar. Great video btw!

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Nice! I do like that older logo! I hadn’t picked up that it was like guitar strings! Very cool!

[@parkerblackforces]

im an american premier league fan but the MLS logos always looked so cool. especially the old NE Revolution logo

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah, definitely! Some of the early MLS logos are still some of my favorites!

[@j_vasey]

Of all the current badges Minnesota is my favourite. Many redesigns have made things worse though.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah Minnesota is up in the top tier for me too! Great design!!

[@gregsky01]

I think it’s great that the MLS has grown from what it started as which was the definition of a Mickey Mouse league but I always thought that trying to teams trying to Europeanise themselves came across as kinda pretentious. I like when teams keep a bit of Americana in them like the sounders, the fire, the crew etc. I won’t complain about team names like Toronto FC, Nashville SC, etc because that’s just the city name, fine but I think a lot of the names have been changed not really realising that a lot of the suffixes of European teams have a specific meaning. United is generally a merging of two teams. Sporting is generally because the football team is a branch of an all around sports club. Real means royal and is named so because of an affiliation with the Spanish crown. I get that as a league they want to be taken more seriously but that starts with the football, not the team names. I think if they kept names like the wizards, the burn, the impact then it’d give the league a more unique identity in the football world.

[@lucasrosa1108]

Yeah NGL the World Cup got me back into a Football mood and I'm researching leagues to follow. The MLS stood out as a potentially cool one. And as a non-US citizen, I think the cheesyness of the more Americanized games is part of the charm that draws me to it. If I'm going to follow US sports, I *want* my games to be The CityA Somethings vs The City B Somethingelses. It's part of US sports culture and has that foreign appeal to me that shit like City FC doesn't since I can just watch City FC at home in my country.

[@jmal]

The use of "FC" is understandable since that is a throwback to a tradition for American soccer clubs since the early 20th century... back when US Soccer was known as the US Football Association and American football hasn't taken over as the dominant code. The use of "United" is justified in the case of DC United and Minnesota United. The former because Washington, DC is the capital of the *United* States, the latter because the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are united under one team.

[@solodolotrevino]

I think the one that makes sense the most is Inter Miami because it actually represents the cultural diversity of the area. A lot of MLS teams should stick with brand nicknames that represent their city better though.

[@mb9822]

ehhhhh, whilst there are a fair few teams historically called united which are a merger there's a lot in turn that aren't and are just a name change for a club to represent the wider area not really having to do with any merger, the main united teams you'd think of like Manchester, Leeds and West Ham United are name changes and successor clubs to another but aren't mergers. Inter Miami and Club de Foot Montreal are just pretentiousness for the sake of it though aye 100%

[@gregsky01]

@@mb9822 okay fair enough but a lot of them you have to admit sound more like something that someone would name their EPL fantasy team. I had a guy in the World Cup dream team league call his team Spartac Tesco. It has nothing to do with MLS team names but I just thought that was funny

[@gutika113]

Great video dude! I spent some time playing in the USL, when some of these teams were still in that league. Really cool to see those old logos for the first time since then.

The Austin FC oak tree is actually a specific tree, “The Treaty Oak” which is a historic tree still standing in downtown Austin.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Oh wow, did not know that! Thank you for sharing. I would love to look more into the tree oak, and the way that plays in historically, and Austin!

[@j_geau]

Great to see a new video from you! Just mentioning something I've noticed but you didn't highlight about the Vancouver Whitecaps logo: the bottom triangular shapes are reminiscent somewhat of a V overtop a W, of course for Vancouver Whitecaps. Not sure if that's an official design point or not, but I've always appreciated it.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

[@Phin-germayas]

[@sacropotam6050]

I'm argentine, and i wish for american soccer to become more popular, since i love this sport and i believe it would be interesting to see America becoming more competitive in the international level. This new "DC United" logo is my favourite, simple yet effective. It has the essence of football (soccer) in it. And, as a River Plate fan, the combination of red and black and white colours is the most beautiful to me.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I hope soccer keeps growing here! Already huge gains in the last 15 years since I began watching!

[@joshuaw711]

The Houston Dynamo logo reminds me of the last and current WGN Sports logo. The one that they debuted for the 2018 Cubs opening day. The hexagon. I didn’t mind it, I liked it and the graphics design.

[@ThePhl4ever]

I don't like the trend of going with the shields that most teams have done recently. I personally think the original New England Revolution logo is the best.

[@irishjet2687]

Really? I rather like their new logo. It's my favorite of the three, and I think it's leagues better than the second logo. I would have preferred if the light blue cross was closer in shape to the original logo, but I love using the colors and design elements of the city flag, and having a big "C" ties the team in with the Bears and Cubs.

[@max_the_t]

the lines on Portland are also supposed to evoke the wires of a suspension bridge, or steel bridge trusses as Portland was also called "Bridgeport" or more currently "Bridge City" bc the city is divided by the Willamette and bordered by the Columbia

Great video! Just one thing, though. The rebrand from KC Wiz/Wizards to Sporting Kansas City actually came because the Sporting Club company bought the team, not just a desire to be more Euro-sounding.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Austin FC - The Austin FC logo is not just an oak tree but a specific oak tree, the Treaty Oak. "A Native American legend holds that the Council Oaks, of which the Treaty Oak is the last surviving tree, was a location for the launching of war and peace parties. Legends also hold that women of the Tejas tribe would drink a tea made from honey and the acorns of the oaks to ensure the safety of warriors in battle."

You can have chivas usa as part of MLS’s history, but it’s separate from lafc. Chivas USA and its Mexican counterpart folded the American operations. A brand new ownership group was created from scratch to create LAFC. I had a job interview for an lafc office job in the early beginnings of its operation, and I can tell you first hand that Chivas from usa or Mexico had absolutely no influence or origins or lineage linking to lafc. Completely new entity, built from the ground up, with input from the LA community

32:16 The logo you show for Minnesota isn’t correct. In 2013 the logo had “Minnesota United FC” on it. It wasn’t until they moved to MLS that it was changed to MNUFC.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Interesting I'll have to go back and look at it! Thanks for watching!

[@ThePalicak]

just a lil correction - MMXIII (in former nashville badge) is 2013, not 2018 as you said :)

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Thanks yeah it’s definitely on the list of things that just pokes at me lol

[@Gallalad1]

tbh I wish DC kept their old design, like it didnt look like a traditional club logo but it was icnoic and different.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah it definitely had a classic US soccer vibe to it!

[@Overkillrider]

I still use the red shield logo as my thumbnail. The new one is ok but, the second logo is the best.

[@dominicdrummond2233]

Austin's logo actually has 2 trees!

[@W8AS3C]

Portland Timbers early 2010s logo was the best

[@JustinLearnsThings]

I’m very fond of that Timbers logo as well!

[@TheFlyingV]

I thought the lighter blue in the Union logo was also the same shade of blue in the city flag for Philadelphia.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

It definitely looks similar… I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where the sons of Ben got their colors from too. It definitely all makes sense!

[@paynomind]

The maple leaf at the top of the Toronto crest is also a soccer ball. Also, if you are making videos about MLS, you need to know it's not "the MLS" because "they have been a member of the major league soccer since x" doesn't make sense.

[@jldch26]

Are we gonna ignore the fact the original San Jose team is now the Houston Dynamo and the current San Jose team is an entirely different team? Almost happened with Columbus being moved to Austin. Thankfully that didn't happen. Edit: Just reached the Houston Dynamo part of the video.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Haha left you hanging, but glad it circled back around! Thanks for watching!

[@zilzainol]

I love some temas us SC rather opted to FC.

[@herps588]

Your french was good

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Haha 👨‍🎨🥖🇫🇷

[@295g295]

21:19 - The flag of the city of Philadelphia is colored blue and gold.

[@GoKnightsGo]

The blue and gold of the Union, could also represent the Philadelphia colors, of blue and gold.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Oh you know what I bet they do too! I hadn’t thought of that! Good catch!

[@philwright2480]

A few of the original logos are better than the new ones, New England, Houston, Chicago, Columbus, LA Galaxy

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Agreed! Some of the classics look great!

[@la_gallada_ruiz9818]

Old MLS LOGO was way better 💯

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Definitely a classic!

[@philwright2480]

I know it's tradition etc, but I don't like teams just being called FC and then the city name, I prefer some effort and actually coming up with name.

[@domish5]

Yeah I get what you mean. Off the top of my head, the only league in Europe that has the norm of having a name other than the city are the Czech Leagues. Viktoria, Sparta, Slavia, Bohemians, Sigma, Zbrojovka, etc.

[@fabiangonzalez1207]

What happened to chivas USA? Can they get a mention Por favor

[@JustinLearnsThings]

I mentioned them in my first MLS video but decided to not include the defunct teams in this one! Sorry man! If I remember right, their logo is pretty close to Chivas Guadalajara!

[@gregweatherup9596]

The Colorado logo update is good. The rest range from neutral to horrible.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

There's a few I enjoy that are pretty unique... I think that the Colorado one is good, the MNUFC is pretty interesting, but lots that feel like may not still be around a decade form now. Oh and I dig all three PNW teams, though the timbers and sounders essentially had those before they joined.

[@Kansas462]

Great video, but, damn...every time I hear THE MLS it feels like nails on a chalkboard. It's just MLS. Other than that, thank you for this video

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Fair enough! :)

[@mississaugaicedogs]

you missed out on the stars added to the logos following MLS championships

[@JustinLearnsThings]

Yeah! That’s a good one… I know several leagues have a similar process. I’ll have to look at more and maybe make a video about it!

[@dmouse1999]

Sad that the NASL Sounders, Timbers and Vancouver logos were not included.

[@QPRTokyo]

The white part is where you insert the word FOOTBALL at an angle on the MLS football badge.

[@JustinLearnsThings]

😂 Thanks for watching!
