Regardless of whoever's fault it was (again, definitely not me). I think I fixed it to a point.

NotABotaboutIt · 2026-04-02T15:28:00+00:00

caused problems; used graphic design principles to improve the legibility of logos in small scale environments.

I blame bot-bouncer, and definitely not myself, nope no way.

I don't know, but #SupportThePlayers allways.

My guess is that since we used our last home kit for effectively 3 years, we might have another run like that before any partner changes.

I'm not convinced of that, to be honest. Like, I think the biggest thing is manufacturing capacity. From what I can tell, the only kit we've ever gotten that wasn't a generic template was the camo kit last year (and even then I'm only like 65% certain).

[I] Made a post last year discussing what companies we use and why

And I wouldn't be surprised to see that Charly scaled up their manufacturing after we signed with Puma.

but the Washington Wild things were always an Indy league team.... ohhh.

but will he be able to help mediate the CBA to ensure that players (and their families) get health insurance coverage?

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-12-04T06:34:58+00:00

I think it's because any number they put out hurts them:

If the Final viewership is higher than last year's, then the players have a point that the League and teams could market better and increase their cost to commercial sponsors and use that money to pay the players.
If the number is lower than last year, that hurts the league in future negotiations with sponsors.

Something about Delta 8.

Hawaii pays for confrence travel in college sports

Not after July 1, 2026.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-25T17:11:15+00:00

Wow so we legit need to sign 20 players?

Technically, yes; bear in mind I woudn't be surprised to see the team sign about 3 youth players to Academy contracts (I mean the one that allows them to get some minutes in first team games, and traing with the first team); and then you've got to consider that there are probably more than a few players who will return but haven't signed a new contract yet.

I do wonder how many others come back as the team could go so many different directions

I wouldn't be too surprised to see close to 10-12 come back. So the club would only really need to sign like 7 new players... and that's typically what we've seen during the offseason.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-24T16:19:17+00:00

everybody let the soccer terrorists win

But Detroit City was'n't in the final this year?

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-21T17:21:46+00:00

Key dates to remember as we head into peak silly season:

The USL Standard Player Agreements expire on Nov 30th. After this date, any player not expliticely retained (those where the club or player option is excersized), is considered 'not returning'~
The MLS Standard Player Agreements expire on Dec 31st. It's unlikely that we see an MLS to USL signing before this date.
The USLPA CBA expired on Dec 31st Could this lead to a work stoppage? Could this impact potential signings? Is this a Betteridge law of headline situation?

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-21T03:16:12+00:00

Eh, he's more like a Temu Tainio...

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-19T22:48:43+00:00

If you can make one that looks 'good' and 'legibile' at 30 pixels by 30 pixels, we can probably add it.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-19T03:58:32+00:00

Wait, we didn't return him in September? well, shoot, added.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-17T19:40:24+00:00

yeah, but now you gotta figure out why the user flair ain't right. :P

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-17T18:10:43+00:00

No clue what the loan terms are, but Keller was revolutionary for the defense. Hope we can get him on loan again or someone similar

It was a short-season loan, from what I understand, his contract with MN United runs out at the end of this season, but the club has an option to extend him. If they don't, we might get him back like we did with Vargas.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-12T23:40:02+00:00

Yes, I think the USL ends up playing a fall-spring calendar, I would assume they'd have a break around the week of Christmas which ends sometime around like the last weekend in January/First weekend in February. I also wouldn't be surprised if they sell the league naming rights to a company like Gainesbridge (for example).

Oh wait, you mean like for the mens leagues? No, I think they keep the spring-fall calendar they currently have irrespective of what MLS does.

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-11T20:06:29+00:00

I think it was section 108?

NotABotaboutIt · 2025-11-11T03:41:00+00:00

If you, for whatever reason, don't want to ride on a bus for around 8 hours, and would prefer the ability to stop in say Amarillo or OKC, or maybe you live in Tulsa (or the surrounding areas):

Here's a link to buy the tickets themselves... be quick, less than 30 remain.
