@DerSchattenwolf @hearts_sc @opencup @VermontGreenFC Maybe so, but just replying with info so you don't keep stressing about it, will just need to get used to it! ❤️

@schohl @hearts_sc @opencup @VermontGreenFC I mean, readability is important and usually a blank back with a suting color is a good choice.
There are obviously also bad examples, like FC Tulsa the last years with white jerseys and patina greed lettering.
English
@DerSchattenwolf @hearts_sc @opencup @VermontGreenFC The league required font is not ideal, but isn’t changing. We also won’t be changing the jersey. Notice how bad the new USMNT kit looks with the white back panel. Thanks for the feedback but no need to keep bringing it up! 🫶
English
@hearts_sc @opencup @VermontGreenFC Okay, less changes than expected and Emi in the roster. Neat!
Take Vermont serious, show that you're the pros and then we should be able to win.
Btw: we really need clean backs on the kits, because from not so close up distance, it's barely readable. As seeen at the Cosmos.

New York Cosmos fans at Hinchliffe Stadium, Paterson, ahead of the first game of this iteration of the club in USL League One, vs Portland Hearts of Pine.
English
@RIRoten @RIDefiance1636 @DirigoUnion With all due respect, there are plenty of MLS supporter atmospheres that far outpace what’s happening here in Maine and Rhode Island. But hey maybe we can give it a one-game trial for the May 16 match, and we can see how it goes
English
@schohl @RIDefiance1636 @DirigoUnion EPL is even less relevant to this issue. The point is, USL has the opportunity produce stadium atmospheres not seen elsewhere in the US. We understand that you don't want to deal with all the complaints from the HoP fans in the adjacent section.
English
Appreciate the love, Kevin but..Calling yourselves the best soccer culture in New England while banning drums is certainly... a choice. Must be the Moxie. Two brothers want a battle. Let it happen...#RIFC
Kevin Schohl ❤️🌲@schohl
@RIDefiance1636 @DirigoUnion @5_Points_NYC Love what you all are building there, @RhodeIslandFC is my fav team in USLC. We held way more tickets for your traveling group than to any other visiting team we’ve had. I’m sure you’ll be plenty loud and won’t even need to bother with those bulky unapproved musical instruments!
English
@quadros13 @RIRoten @RIDefiance1636 @DirigoUnion It’s not within my control what other stadiums do (many of which are empty and allow for our supporters to cheer with plenty of buffer away from others)… our stadium is jam-packed, which requires tighter control. SGs don’t need drums to bring energy and grow the game
English
@schohl @RIRoten @RIDefiance1636 @DirigoUnion With respect, USL is trying to grow the game and its leagues, relying on supporters to create an atmosphere that drives that growth. You bring drums to other stadiums but suppress other SGs who want to do the same. That’s hypocritical. Other clubs seem to understand that, though.
English
@RAHealey @RIDefiance1636 I did hear that Pitt was lacking in its protocols for that game - hope a lot of clubs learn better for the future! Point me to a couple written “certain items allowed for visitors up to a certain limit” policies and we will discuss and consider it
English
@schohl @RIDefiance1636 The premier teams in the USL have figured it out including Rhode Island when HOP came here. What has worked: a drum limit and having even one security guard near our section (Pitt had zero and we were in the front on a path in and out). I hope you consider changing your mind
English
@RAHealey @RIDefiance1636 Our decisions are not based on that at all, and you know I’m not taking a drunk fan’s side, but it’s important to know that these high tension situations are why most clubs around the world do what they can to focus on security and try to reduce behavior that can escalate tension
English
@schohl @RIDefiance1636 You’re going to frame your decision on the actions of one very drunk and very racist asshole? I was there and heard/saw the entire incident. Weird that you’re taking that man’s side because he didn’t like that people were singing in Spanish. I thought a lot higher of HOP, Kevin.
English
@FQBnews @DirigoUnion Use it as a chip on your shoulder to bring even more vocal energy. Look forward to having yall up here in Maine and I’m sure you’ll make your presence known!
English
@schohl @DirigoUnion I will concede that the EPL are real clubs with passionate fans.. I just think it's a shame... The beauty of the USL is the community that the clubs are built upon and the engaging fanbases with great game day environments.
I get no pyro for away fans but drums is kinda flimsy
English
The fuck MLS has to do with the USL
Fuck the MLS
Don be scurred it's only drums
List of clubs that have allowed drums to my knowledge:
Switchbacks, Lou city, battery, NCFC, Westchester, river hounds.
Such good lobster .. such bad decisions
Don't ruin the game day vibes
Kevin Schohl ❤️🌲@schohl
@RIDefiance1636 Please let me know which MLS clubs allow visiting supporters to bring in items that they wouldn’t allow their own fans to have outside of the supporters section. Having disruptive items in the regular grandstands would be a very rare thing in sold out stadiums!
English
@RAHealey @RIDefiance1636 I think there was also an unfortunate security incident in Pitt? While I would never condone that, it doesn’t help ease tension when away fans are given special treatment to disrupt that other non-supporter fans aren’t, and ensuring peace and safety is critically important
English
@schohl @RIDefiance1636 What does MLS have to do with this? We have the opportunity in USL to create a culture that MLS could only dream of. You play a massive part in that.
Louisville, Charleston, NC, and Pitt allowed RI to bring instruments for sold out playoff games and the atmosphere was amazing.
English
@RIRoten @RIDefiance1636 Ok, let’s try EPL then, if you don’t consider MLS to be relevant. We are excited to welcome visiting fans, but aren’t going to bend our stadium security standards for them. Maybe you can have a good pregame drumline battle in the park across the street with @DirigoUnion ?
English
@weall_hate_city We allocate 75+ for every visiting team, and in RIFC case I think it was around 150. Where are you getting your faulty numbers from?
English
Meanwhile Hearts only allocates 32 tickets for visiting support. Gotta protect the brand over growing the game, right @schohl?
Defiance 1636 ⚓️@RIDefiance1636
Congrats to @DirigoUnion, strong away support and even stronger seeing the drums make it into the stands. Cosmos and @5_Points_NYC setting a great example of how to treat traveling fans. Looking forward to bringing all our drums to Portland..that won’t be a problem, right @schohl

@theUSLshow Proud to have the most biased fans in the league 💪
English
🚨LEAGUE ONE PREDICTED FINAL TABLE🚨
LIVE SHOW TO DISCUSS AT 9pm ET/6pm PT
The USL Show and the Fans have never been more a part. Are we overrating lost talent and incoming/returning coaches? Or are the fans too biased of their own club?
We'll discuss LIVE tonight! 9pm/6pm
English
@DerSchattenwolf All good! Hope people enjoy the interview, even though it’s only 30 min 😀
English
@schohl To be fair, I wrote you my concerns directly after that mail.
The oringinal post was about how to approach that mail, podcast wise. Not mentioning it and if, how.
But, I'll explain that tomorrow to you in a private setting. If wanted.
Are we good?

Need a 2nd opinion on an Podcast thing, USL-Fam!
I got a pretty nasty email by the front office, regarding my #FallenLeavesPod ... and on the one hand, I want to talk about it in the next pod and be transparent.
On the other, I think: why bother? Soo ... Ideas?

@DerSchattenwolf @City555Swansea @RIFCPodcast You’re good at what you do, and we appreciate it - just worth thinking about approach - for example, when you’re getting a chance to interview club leadership, maybe don’t create mysterious trash talk right after the interview, after not bringing it up directly! 🤷♂️
English
@schohl @City555Swansea @RIFCPodcast My original point, I was maybe thinking to talk about was, that it feels, that my job's getting restrictiver than easier and if that's needed.
45-60min cut to 20/30, sending questions beforehand, sending metrics to show value e.g.
That's all happen before the real work starts.
English
@DerSchattenwolf @City555Swansea @RIFCPodcast Can let everyone else be the judge! Will remove the mystery here:
English
@schohl @City555Swansea @RIFCPodcast I think the issue was more on the how it was said, then what.
But I agree. Would the algorhythm work as it should and all the supposed followers listen, the numbers would be higher.
Let's see if the Interview finds it's way to their feed.
English
@m00kie59 @DerSchattenwolf @RIFCPodcast Eh, I think @DerSchattenwolf is being a bit dramatic here. Just trying to help him out, would love to help him succeed!
English
@DerSchattenwolf @RIFCPodcast Share it. Dont hide their nastiness. Super ungrateful of them. You dont owe them anything and they have no reason to be nasty towards you. A big eat a dick from me. It makes me want to throw away their jersey!
