Hello,
Can anyone identify the font used in Philadelphia Fury logo?
It may be a custom one, but I think I saw something similar.
Thanks in advance.

From the FAQ page:
And logos of sports teams?
There you have to keep in mind that sports merchandising — everything from baseball caps to soccer jerseys — is big business, so the popular sports teams have every reason to make their logo as difficult to imitate as possible. Most of them are custom designed or use heavily customized existing fonts.
This logo strikes me as a typical example of a custom designed logo. The team was active from 1978 to 1980, so they probably either used some flair typeface that was popular at that time as a basis, or designed the logo from scratch. Only very few of this type of ornamented typefaces made the transition to digital, most of these thanks to Jason Walcott.
