Man I was REALLLY CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!  But after the hints I had a good feeling it was gonna be realy similar.

‍

Thoughts, it's clean fresh and with some character. The Minted is a new unique touch. The Crown is a bit underwhelming as the focal point of the crest, but it all comes together in a really clean and simple package. It is VERY safe, no is gonna hate this logo for sure. And some will love it. So it is a huge win. It clearly has the Panthers' influence.

‍

The second logo is great. I really like that one, simple and clean, but again the way all the pieces fit together is so fresh. Someone mentioned there C kinda looks like a G.. but it's not too bad, this is by far the most successful logo in my mind. The wordmark is solid as well. I am assuming they came up with a unique font for this one, but it does look kinda similar to the Premier League one from a few years ago.

‍

After having some more time with the logo, I still have the same feelings it is SUPER safe and in that respect good for an expansion franchise. I will be excited to see what they do with some of the marking and gear.. Not a huge fan of everything they have so far.. Also put together a kit! Tweaking the away right now..

‍

Also thought about putting the alt logo in the middle.

‍

But then I think it's a bit too redundant and maybe too similar to NYFC .. But either way they did a solid job..
