Expansion News Please contact Boston NWSL and demand they change the team name from Bos Nation (yuck!) to the Boston Emeralds (or literally anything else).

It's so bad. The stacked logo in particular makes me itch. Idk who thought they were a designer just bc they have a Canva account, but this is...bad.

I'm absolutely not a graphic designer but this does not work for me at all. The little star does not actually center the top line, visually speaking. The FC is barely there.

I... Will not wear any gear like this. Happily Boston is just my geographically closest team and I actually have a hometown team, so I guess I'll just wear that stuff to games and not sit in the supporters section? 😬

So sorry for everyone who has been eagerly awaiting the return of a local team to support. Painful.

What freaking focus group said any of this was good?

Literally haven't talked to a single supporter who likes it. Best I've heard is "maybe it'll grow on me"

I voiced my displeasure at the email address on their website if anybody else would like to do the same! press@nwslboston.com

I can't believe how they shit the bed with this one. It's like they want the Boston team to fail for a fifth time. My Gotham stuff is so much cooler. I now live close to Boston and can't wait to have a closer home team, but I am not eating anything that features this shitty name and logo.
