I'll definitely root for this team...as long as nasty orange isn't the jersey color!
with the Dynamo down the road, and already orange, I'm thinking they'll go a different direction.

The Dynamo definitely own the color in MLS, not to mention orange already being clearly attached to something else in Austin. It was hard enough for me to start wearing Dynamo orange

Very Tolkien-esque. Austin FC Wood Elves?

Gotta admit this is pretty slick. Also glad to see this was designed by a local firm.

Very unexpected badge.... I can see it growing on me, was expecting something more "Texas'y" but it's "different" ... Which is fitting for Austin.

We got trees yall

Very Austin-y. Almost says, "hey Portland, please be our rival and validate how cool we are! Please!!!"

That said, I don't hate it. Sort of a hat tip to Nottingham Forest's logo:

Yup, privately financed stadium, city retains the rights to the land, receives rent after year 5 and benefits from development around the site including co-development of a rail station. At least read up on the situation before commenting.

No rent for 5 years ! Value of land ?

They've been getting 0 rent for much longer than that. This plan starts producing rent in 5 years, and provides a huge boost to the local economy in the meantime.

Not-so-subtle references:

Plant/leaves
Green
"Creative energy of Austin"
"Grow" the Legend

Well done.
