There is a tweet in there with a Crest. It's God awful.

These people really can't get out of their own way.

Keep the Fire, ditch Bridgeview.

(as an aside, I think the cries of SW suburb folks not wanting to head to the city for games is bullshit. They do it for the Cubs, Sox, Bears and Hawks now. The argument has been used time and time again to defend Bridgeview. It's BS. If the team is in the city, it will pull fans from all over, including the SW side, assuming there is plenty of access to public transit. And I say that as someone who has driven and parked/tailgated for Bears games, and has walked the pedway back under LSD to catch the El or a cab heading to Clinton and Madison)



Its a fake *

The buyout certainly is not

But I don’t think the rebrand is as drastic as the initial rumors have made it sound.

I feel people’s pain on the change in branding

But personally remain agnostic on the Chicago Fire name. I’ve never been a fire fan but desperately want a soccer entity in this city to be a fan of.

Rebrand or keep it, I don’t care. Just give me a team worth watching within the city.
