Update on Domain Names

If you remember, what tipped me off about the Columbus Crew SC name change was the fact that they registered for new domain names. The whole explanation is available here.

What was intriguing was the fact that the Crew SC didn't go live with the new domain names. They sat parked by GoDaddy until a few weeks ago. On January 27, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications, Arica Kress tweeted that columbuscrewsc.com was live. The site remained the same as it was with the old domain thecrew.com, as they already had been using the new brand content there.

I jokingly asked Kress on Twitter about columbuscrewsc.org and columbuscrewsc.us. They were still parked at GoDaddy. A little bit later she said they were live. Those domains redirect to columbuscrewsc.com. Either I spoke a bit too soon or reminded them off the other domains they registered last year.

Black Jersey (Additional Images)

Early on Sunday Feb. 8, @mobilegame08 found Columbus Crew SC's Black Jersey. After some digging I was able to locate the same image along with additional views. The angles are much like those from the primary jersey leak.

Jersey Leak

Update: As many have pointed out on Twitter, Fanatics has removed the page selling the jerseys. Presumably they heard from the relevant people at MLS or Columbus Crew SC about their mistake.

This morning @istreetshooter noticed that the online sports apparel website fanatics.com was selling the 2015 Crew SC jersey. Since the jersey reveal is not due for another month (specifically March 3) it appears that they inadvertantly went live with the item early. Below are the highest resolution (1024x1024) images I could find from their website. The first set is scaled and the second set contains the original images at full resolution.
