It's too dark if you ask me... Zach: Just not a fan. It looks like a travel wresting logo. Eric: I like the color combination. This one is pretty cool. AUSTIN FC Nick: This is how you make a logo as an expansion team! Green and black is a great combo. Zach: LOVE the colors. Eric: When I think of Austin, the last thing I think of is a tree.
