so i'm going to say this in the nicest way possible... most people aren't soccer dorks so it pretty much behooves a soccer organization to put a soccer ball in their logo so that when a normal person sees the logo they aren't like "oh, is that the new arena football team?" "no, i think it's the womens lingerie softball team that just started" "no, i saw on the news that it's an nba d league or something, or maybe wnba, i dunno".
