COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus Crew SC fans took to social media to express outrage over a reported possible rebranding of the Major League Soccer original franchise.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the team’s name, colors and logo are under consideration for a rebrand, which would coincide with the Crew’s new stadium opening at the start of the 2021 MLS season.
“Don’t touch our colors. Don’t add a color. Don’t change the name. Don’t change the badge. Those are ours. We earned them,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
A Crew spokesperson responded to the story with an emailed statement to MLSsoccer.
