MLS Reveals a New Logo and It's in FIFA 15

[Steve_OS]

With the 20th season just around the corner, the MLS has revealed a new logo, along with club versions of the crest. The evolution of the logo can be seen here, via Deadspin.

FIFA 15 will feature them, as seen in the second video on this page. Let's hope they can get all the stadiums in next year.

That is great. Now if they would get a deal like the Premier League did for 15 for players, stadiums, and crowd chants in future versions. Would be nice promotion/exposure for the growing league.

I am a huge mls fan but man do I think they blew a golden opportunity to create a great logo for the league. Oh well....the most important thing over the next few years is improving the quality of play and then who cares about the logo...but still disappointed the way it looks.

If the MLS is smart, they will throw some money at EA to do this. I'd love it, because the only team I follow closely thus far is Sporting KC. I'm thinking all of the work put into the EPL authenticity this year will probably help me choose a team to follow there.

As far as the logo itself, it looks pretty solid. The "kickstand" annoys my favor towards symmetry, and the vast white space in the crest looks odd at first, but it is miles beyond the old logo.

Nice logo; simple, streamlined.

Adding MLS authenticity (stadiums, chants, etc.) to FIFA would improve their brand recognition ten-fold. It's every bit as important as a TV deal, maybe even more so these days.

I'd like to see a statistic, but I'm willing to bet most American FIFA players will play with EPL sides this year because it's the most authentic league in the game. Just imagine if MLS got that treatment.

I know that I probably will. Especially after the current MLS season ends, because the game will already be outdated (no Orlando or NYCFC) at that point.

Am I the only one that thinks the new logo looks too generic? It looks more like a fake generated EA logo rather than an official league logo. However, it could be much worse, this isn't too bad.

That was my first reaction, too. It might grow on me, though. All except the line extending outside of the crest. I'm pretty sure that's always going to bug me.
