US Soccer's updated look doesn't just include the national team crest ā the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup now has a new crest, too.

The Open Cup competition ā which includes not just MLS clubs, but ones from all levels of American soccer, including USL, NASL and PDL ā will kick off in May with the first round of games. Those initial match-ups will be drawn and announced on Wednesday.
