2nd version of my earlier entry; can now be placed on dark background. I added a full shield border and switched the red and blue to make it resemble the American flag (and hopefully less the Pepsi logo) Any feedback is much appreciated!
@Arnold Thanks for the comment! I liked the last version a little better as well, but I couldn't figure out a way to make it look good on a dark background without adding a border.
@cristiantodean Yeah, I found that very strange as well. I think I found out why though: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/mls-next-new-logo-branding.2011374/page-33
