We all know will Ferrell from his hilarious skits on "Saturday Night Live" or from the countless movies we know every line to, like "Step Brothers" and "Anchorman," but now we know him as a new part owner of a new soccer club in Los Angeles. That’s right, Will Ferrell -- alongside Mia Hamm and many others -- is an owner of Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC).
In Will Ferrell's 2005 movie, "Kicking and Screaming," we caught a glimpse at how adept he is in the world of soccer, but his love for the game goes far beyond his coaching abilities in the film. Will's wife played college soccer and his sons play now just like Will Ferrell did when he was a younger boy. So, it might have been hard to imagine Will Ferrell in this commanding position as an owner, but I think his experience and pure love of watching his sons and wife play for so long will drive him to be a great owner to deal with. He is now ready and excited to move his love for soccer onto a bigger scope and have a big role in this new soccer club. While there is already a team in LA, I feel that with this new leadership and especially having the hilarity of Will Ferrell, this new club should be a success and attract players from all over.
LAFC has just recently announced their colors and crest for the upcoming team that should be debuting in 2017. The colors are a beautiful black, dark gold, and splashes of red. Now, those are some awesome colors. The black has always been a staple of the LA Club, but the gold and red give it something new and exciting for this new team. In the crest, is a wing, which pays tribute to the City of Angels.
I already love soccer and I have my favorite teams, but with these colors, the crest and, of course, Will Ferrell I think I have found a new team to call mine. I cannot wait to see where the club goes, and what they have to offer in the next couple of years.
