From the World Cup logo to new club crests, soccer designs are losing an edge Two designers from different eras reflect on the changing look of soccer through logo design

On @us.theguardian.com, I spoke to a pair of renowned designers - Lance Wyman, an all-time design icon, and Matthew Wolff, 🇺🇸 soccer’s most prolific modern designer - about the process of designing a crest.

Really enjoyed both conversations. Give it a read!

From City to the Toffees: Grealish’s Quest for Redemption Let’s hop into the time machine and dial it back to October 4th, 2020.

Everton just landed Jack Grealish on loan. Yes, that Grealish. I broke it down yesterday, what it means for the Toffees and Grealish. Read the piece by clicking on the link:

This is so frustrating. Addressing the housing shortage is not going to be accomplished unless we get rid of the minimum parking space requirements (along is a whole host of other issues of course but this is a big one).

He had some crazy things happen while at Man City but that pass to Aguero while falling down to win the Premier League will always stick out in my memory.

I spoke to Seattle Sounders winger Pedro De la Vega about the anatomy of a Puskás Award contender.

“The ball came to me so perfectly that I didn’t even hesitate.”

This seems like it may be a great idea as long as they can keep the prices down. Places like Aspen have working people commuting 90-120 minutes each way or even living out of their cars. No one should have to live like that.

Remember when Jack Grealish destroyed Liverpool in 2020? Fast forward: injuries, City trophies, and now a fresh start at Everton. Here’s why this loan move could make or break his career. 📝⚽

I agree that expansion has diluted the league somewhat I’d also say under Nancy, players tend to elevate their game, players develop notably, both technically and tactically. Since Picard likes to cut in, that will fit in with the overlapping fullback, counter pressing, possession ⚽️ Nancy plays.

I actually wouldn’t be too worried about him. He is going to one of the best teams in MLS with Columbus. The manager Wilfried Nancy who is also French has implemented a possession based football style which win them the MLS championship in 2023. Then they also won Leagues Cup tournament in 2024.

Comparing new housing to genocide is offensive and absurd. This NIMBY protest in a wealthy area that opposes mixed-income homes near transit—exactly what we need to fight the housing crisis. Fear of change shouldn’t outweigh the need for inclusive, affordable communities.

Ozzie had gritty toughness along with the ability to make that turn and either carry the ball forward or make that pass in transition! Great leader and Sounders legend! #ebfg #sounders

Great article!! That second half was one for the ages! Awesome that De Resario scored again, let’s hope he keeps it up. Finally, that goal from de la Vega was no joke!
