FORT LAUDERDALE – With the Coronavirus putting a suspension on the Major League Soccer season Inter Miami CF made a change to its crest on Monday to promote social distancing.
The club’s crest for its inaugural season contains two white herons standing back to back with their tail feathers touching and their legs entwined. To help promote what is needed to stop the spread of Coronavirus even the crest is practicing social distancing as the herons have now been separated to limit the potential of infection.
“COVID-19 has stopped the world in its tracks and as a result it has never been more important to heed the advice and direction of the authorities to stand for unity and participation in social distancing. Inter Miami CF wants to leverage the reach of our Club, players and ownership group to amplify and share this message with those who follow us in South Florida and around the world.”
Inter Miami CF VP of Community Engagement Chris Allan
The suspension of the league is particularly hard on Inter Miami which was about to play its maiden home game against Los Angeles Football Club at its new stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Right now there’s been no reduction to the MLS schedule for the 2020 season but that could all depend on how long the season is suspended.
