OKC Energy FC

[AP]

We're currently tied for 6th in the table.

So the finish to last nights game was incredible, the freak out that Leichty had after scoring was so awesome and genuine.

[C. B.]

That was a fun one to watch! The team has really improved since the start of the season.

A lot of people park in the neighborhood and walk to the game. Most Saturday's my group of friends tailgate at somebodies house and walk over to the match.

We park in the lot directly south of The Speakeasy. Have a few beers, then walk to the stadium. Less than 5 minutes.

brutal loss last night, outshot them 20-8, Badr was hardly troubled after the first goal but we've got to finish better. to be fair, their keeper played outstanding

[kwhey]

Worst time of the season to go on a losing streak. The Energy now find themselves sitting outside of the playoff picture.

[C. B.]

Our soon to be rivals in Tulsa are unveiling their logo, colors & uniforms today. We'll see how that goes...

[C. B.]

Answers that...

[Richard at Remax]

Is that the Barons logo?

[Urbanized]

Wow. That honestly looks like the basis of a trademark infringement lawsuit. Good on them for resurrecting the Roughnecks name though.

[C. B.]

If the same ownership group owns both teams, is it still trademark infringement?
I believe Funk is owner of the Barons & minority owner of the Roughnecks.

FWIW, I do not see those to be nearly as similar as seems to be implied.
Quite different shield background shapes, all the way around.
Different derrick design, well, as different as derricks can get and still look like a derrick.
Different placement and emphasis of derrick in relation to the background design.
Different colors.
Different sports.

I think it'd pass muster even without the ownership connections that exist between the two programs.

looks like san Antonio just announced a stadium expansion to move to the MLS (contingent on getting a MLS bid), appears that the MLS ship has sailed for okc unless we get our act together very soon.

NASL looks to be losing another decent city

Quite different shield background shapes, all the way around.
Pointy bottom with a rounded top
Different derrick design, well, as different as derricks can get and still look like a derrick.
Two sets of cross bracing with a horizontal platform
Different placement and emphasis of derrick in relation to the background design.
Derrick placement directly above team name
Different colors.
Blue and Orange
Different sports.
Irrelevant

Really? You don't see any similarities?
I don't care about either team, so I'm not saying one is better than the other. It's just lazy, lazy design. In the same state no less.

*edited to add comparison picture

[kevinpate]

Really? You don't see any similarities? ...

Not what I said.
That noted, I don't have any issue with either existing in its present form.

Ah, I guess I hadn't paid that much attention to the ownership of the Tulsa team.

[Snowman]

Ah, I guess I hadn't paid that much attention to the ownership of the Tulsa team.

That is still no reason not to be at least a little more innovative with it, granted doing anything new with team names/logos/colors is a bit of a pain with hundreds of pro teams, thousands of colleges and tens of thousands of high schools in the US alone. Ironically I could see it pissing of Tulsa fans more than OKC fans.

[bradh]

Maybe that's the point, to troll Tulsans lol

[Tydude]

Funk Jr.Does not own the Tulsa USL Pro team its own by a Different owner

Energy FC falls to Sacramento 1-0.They have been eliminated from the Playoff Race

The Barons and Roughnecks logos do look similar, although the derrick on Tulsa's logo looks less...clip art-y.

The Barons will most likely be gone soon since they average like 14 people per game, so people won't have to worry about the clashing logos for long.

You must have seen more recent versions of clip art than I did, the Tulsa one looks more the clip art style I remember seeing many years ago, best guess is Windows 95 era.
