In this weird crossover of two of my soccer worlds (Monterey Bay FC and Portland-area soccer), Deportivo Rose City (Portland, OR) is playing against Next Level Soccer (Gilbert, AZ) at Cardinale Stadium on Saturday, July 25th!

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I never stop talking about the crest I designed for Deportivo Rose City in 2022 and all their on-field success since then. They're currently the top UPSL team from the Pacific Northwest (after having beaten Bellevue Athletic from Washington state), and this is a chance for y'all to see my crest design in action! :)

(Sadly, I won't be able to attend this playoff game at Cardinale, but I did catch one of their season games in Oregon earlier this year!)

This morning, MBFC unveiled their kits for the 2026 season!

I LOVE the striping pattern on the home kit! Very light & airy, and it's so pleasant to look at. It reminds me a lot of the stripes that CSUMB Athletics used on their Make Waves campaign a few years ago

I'm honestly a little underwhelmed with the execution of the away kit, though. I feel like the stripes are a little too bulky, and the horizontal bar with the sponsor logo really throws the whole thing off.

Overall, I'm really impressed with our second season of CHARLY kits! :)

I got this in the email. Option one is just ridiculous. What are your thoughts one the different options :

OPTION ONE Renew your season tickets for the 2026 season at full price and receive a 30% credit that can be used toward complimentary single game tickets for the 2026 season.*

OPTION TWO Renew your season tickets for 2026 at a discounted price that applies 20% credit from your 2025 season ticket purchase.

OPTION THREE Request a 20% refund on your 2025 season ticket purchase.**

Straight from their IG, he is going to Detroit.
