You're nobody until you've got a logo. Well, at least that's what some people think. We're not so sure, but we wanted one anyway. It's all in fun.
The logo you see on this blog is something we've wanted for a while. Yet, while we only thought about it, Carlos went out and did it - secretly. He had his brother, Jorge, who has graphics design experience, work up a draft for us, gratis. Jorge did outstanding work. He captured our attitude and brand quite nicely.
Our logo uses a familiar sports template, the crest, as shown here. But the crest is simplified to represent our humble roots as a rec, not a professional, club. The gold outline is classy, like well...let's see, there's got to be something classy about this team. We opted for a DC flag instead of a mascot (like DC United's logo) or some other image of Washington. The red in the flag also shouts out to our original color: red. We wore that color all the way through last season, and still use the reds as alternates. Additionally, you can of course see a "2000" to mark the year we were founded and entered into the DCJCC league.
This is a great gift to the team by Carlos and Jorge. We appreciate it and it will hereinafter stand for the Goleros.
What do you think about it? Should we get it printed on our jerseys?
Just to clarify, when we say Carlos' brother Jorge, we mean his blood brother Jorge. We don't mean his busom buddy, Jorge, the Goalie for Goleros.
