For the first time in 20 years, U.S. Soccer replaced its crest, substituting the traditional shield for a chic Nike-designed logo that’s simple but colorful, elegant but patriotic.

Oh and it also might have been plagiarized from a youth baseball organization.

Check it out:

According to the Hendricks Avenue Baseball League web site, the Jacksonville-based league’s logo is “a five sided crest to pay homage to Jacksonville’s rich military history, with each side also representing a neighborhood surrounding our park.” The crest was redesigned in 2015, right as U.S. Soccer would have been working on its new image. Hmmm.

It’s pretty hard to look at these two logos and not conclude one was modeled after the other. Their shapes are near-identical, they have the same number of stripes, and both feature a thin line around the exterior, the same color as the lettering. On the other hand, well, the font is different.

BUT WAIT! One Twitter user shrewdly notes that the U.S. Soccer logo was actually leaked onto the Internet on August 5, 2015. Hendricks Avenue Baseball first posted its design to Facebook a week later, on August 12, 2015.

If U.S. Soccer already had its new crest figured out in August, there remain two likely possibilities, and neither actually involve a national soccer federation snagging a logo from a baseball league for kids.

1. Hendricks Avenue Baseball saw the leaked U.S. logo and co-opted it for itself

2. U.S. Soccer and HAB used the same design firm, which royally screwed up by giving the two organizations near-identical designs.

F0r what it’s worth, HAB changed its profile picture on Facebook to an all-white design with a halo on it. The only thing we know for certain here is, no matter who’s at fault there’s no way HAB ends up keeping its logo.
