After Azkals 2010, football is used especially by media but there are still older generations calling it soccer.

The college competitions in Manila, the UAAP and NCAA(varsity and intramurals)and the national competitions have always called it football. It is the official name of the game in the Philippines. Back decades ago when I was still in the Philippines(I lived in Metro Manila), it was also called football in the competitions I played in. Certain American influenced schools and tournaments in Manila and elsewhere, probably called it soccer, but many schools which were trained by Europeans (brothers and priests) who competed in this tournaments, still called it football within their respective school systems. Football in Metro Manila at the youth level, was primarily played by schools(esp. Catholic schools) and became known as a sport played by the elite.
Here in the US, it is primarily and officially, called soccer but it is not uncommon to hear players, coaches and fans refer to it as football or futbol, because of the large immigrant base. The game where you kick a ball around the bases is called kickball here in the US.

I would imagine with the huge U.S. American influence "soccer" would be more dominant. That football/baseball mix is called "fútbeis (fútbol+beísbol)" or "bateado (batted)" here in México.

We called that football/baseball mix "kickball". Grew up around the Manila area.

The lion rampart symbolizes our past with Spain, its freakin' Spain (FC Barcelona, la liga, iker casillas)!!! why would you remove it? Our past with Spain for what colonizing us? then you forgot to put a logo for Japan and United states also just to make it sense.

Sure........ Maybe we can use an eagle as a symbol and call the national team Philippines Eagles? !?!?! I'm afraid that changing the mascot of our national team is reserved for a different discussion but I appreciate your participation.

As a non Filipino I think the PFF logo is ok, it doesn't stand out but doesn't look bad thought. If it's just ok because it neither stands out nor doesn't look bad, then I think there is room for an improvement. As I mentioned in my original post, it simply looks dated. IMO, not much creativity was invested in the creation of the logo.

For me the logo is OK. I love the classic touch similar to those with long and established footballing traditions What part of it did you consider "classic?"

The current logo is fine with me, because who knows just how bad we can screw it up even further I seriously doubt that revising our logo to make it look more modern will be too difficult to accomplish considering the plethora of creative talent in our country. Just look at all the varying Azkal logos that popped up after the "Azkals" became the "official" mascot.

From PFF to PSF -- Philippine Soccer Federation I think we had a brief debate about this because some people say "football" whilst others say "soccer." We're probably one of a handful of countries that use both terms. I don't know why because there's not another "football" sport that exists in the Philippines unlike in the USA, Canada and Australia.
