New York Metropolis Soccer Membership completed its 2021 marketing campaign with a penalty-kick victory over Portland within the MLS Cup. After successful the Main League Soccer title, the staff unveiled its championship banner throughout the residence opener of the 2022 season.
It couldn’t be extra underwhelming.
Because the staff took the pitch in a snowy Yankee Stadium on Saturday, a bunch of followers stood within the higher deck in entrance of a material that hung over the ledge. Very excited, they proceeded to tug again the material and reveal the championship banner.
It didn’t even cowl the total railing and stretched possibly 5 toes in both route.
Whereas it seemed small to start with, it seems to be even smaller when put into perspective. NYCFC is at present enjoying its residence matches at Yankee Stadium till its new stadium is constructed and the 2021 MLS Cup Champions banner is method up within the higher deck simply inside one of many foul poles.
It’s miniscule. In the event you didn’t know that it was there, you genuinely wouldn’t discover the banner in any respect.
Now, to present NYCFC the good thing about the doubt, possibly it was not allowed to hold a much bigger banner. Possibly the Yankees stated that they might solely take up the tiny little nook.
Nevertheless, even when that’s the case — which it most likely wasn’t — the membership might have gone only a liiiiiittttllleeeee bit larger, no?
The present banner is chortle out loud humorous. It’s simply so, so small.
