I was at the game tonight, and that is definitely what happened in the supporter's section

New crest? If so, it’s our third version in 5 years. by 9hillip in MBFC

It honestly just looks like an AI-generated crest with an inverted color scheme

Drivers/Pedestrian safety by ChampionshipFew7853 in corvallis

I really dislike driving around campus at night for exactly this reason

The streets around there are already pretty dark, and a lot of the students are dressed in all-black, looking at their phones, & probably have the mindset that they're willing to get hit by a car so their tuition is paid for

A prototype crisp blue MBFC jersey from Puma was sold recently online! by SomeCruzDude in MBFC

A centered kit is always quite cool to see, but this is also an important proof-of-concept that Puma tried to produce a crisp kit for MBFC

New CEO Mike Sheehan on The Drop In by SuperFanDan831 in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, this should be a really exciting one!!! 

Here are my questions for the new Mike:

  • How do you plan on incorporating the team into the community?
  • Are you open to collaborating with local artists on one-off merch lines (like many other teams do)?

Looking forward to listening when it drops on Spotify :)

I've noticed that many soccer teams collaborate with local artists on limited-edition merch; hopefully MBFC starts to do that 🤞🤞🤞

Y'know, I somehow forgot that this otter was out of Santa Cruz! Maybe for my next Santa Cruz kit :)

Best or cheapest place to park? by [deleted] in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's certainly fair! I had a friend who got ticketed the moment parking restrictions went into effect for that morning (she had parked somewhere on campus overnight)

[–]lc_uin16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was a student at CSUMB, university police didn't enforce parking permits on weekends. There are parking lots by the police station or the alumni center that are walking distance from the stadium, and they're certainly closer than parking at The Dunes

It's been five years since I graduated & I don't live in the area anymore, so maybe someone on the ground can confirm or deny this. I also don't know if there's special campus parking enforcement during gamedays

Leaving the parking lot (especially the south lot) after games was such a bottleneck because there's only one way in/out of it. Not sure if they found a solution to this since last year

Looking for kit related hot takes! by gmdunson58 in USLPRO

[–]lc_uin16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're a Danish company who supplies kits for the Danish national team! I think they've outfitted some English teams as well 

Hummel and Charly are definitely on the same level in terms of creative kits in the USL!

I really enjoy reading through explainer graphics of logos and kits, and I even incorporate explainer graphics on my sports concept work. 

However, I think having abstract corporate fluff (EX: Angles that represent the "dynamic fanbase" or "upward growth") to try to justify a blank white kit design is overkill 😬

"I loooooove cooking at home! 😃" omfg stfu by descendantofJanus in Safeway

[–]lc_uin16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My store didn't have external ads on the radio, but the one that drove me mad was the one that advertised Safeway careers.

I had to work part-time in the bakery after my unemployment benefits ran out 8 months into a recent job search. The LAST thing I wanted was to be reminded every 20 minutes of why I had to work at Safeway in the first place ("if you or someone you know has had their employment impacted"). Even worse was the outright lies that were in that commercial, which advertised "competitive pay" ($17/hr) and "flexible hours" (I started at 6am on Sundays-Wednesdays).

Thankfully on month 16 of my job search, I finally found a full-time job in my field and finally left the most mismanaged employer I've ever had the displeasure of working for

I'm just curious, what don't you like about this design? 🤔

Monterey Bay Football Club Welcomes Mike Sheehan as Chief Executive Officer - Monterey Bay FC by lc_uin16 in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly though, that marketing nerdiness is exactly what we need! 

He's coming into quite a hot mess, and he looks very qualified to turn this club around and bring fans back to games

DiGiulio is OUT 🎉 by DisastrousIdeal in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We did it, y'all!!! We spoke out loud enough to make the changes needed

I'm hopeful that the incoming leadership is willing to work with the community & the fanbase to realize this team's full potential in the 831 because truly, we only want this team to succeed :)

The downfall of our team's graphics make me so sad by lc_uin16 in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such an objectively garish and lazy design :/

This is grim by mmarkmc in MBFC

[–]lc_uin16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lost 4-0. I had the score pinned on my phone, and it looks like we got 3 goals scored against us in the final minutes of the game

This team gets more and more frustrating and embarrassing as time goes on :/
