The City Beautiful’s artistic culture is often on full display at the Orlando Citrus Bowl. In this week’s Top 5, we take a look at some of our favorite signs, tifo and two-poles from the supporters this season.
5. The Narwhals
We’re not sure about the genesis of this one, but these majestic creatures appeared in the parking lot before the inaugural March 8 match. The three Narwhals have become a cult hit at Orlando City headquarters — even inspiring some fantasy MLS team names. We hope they make their return soon.
4. Our City. Our Love.
The Wall’s tifo during the April 26 showdown with Toronto FC was a great display of our supporter’s passion—not only for the Club, but for the City of Orlando as well. The supporter’s efforts helping Orlando evolve into the true “Soccer Capital of the South.”
3. No…No…
This Family Guy’s Consuelo gets us laughing every time. Making her first appearance in the preseason during the Carolina Challenge Cup, the two-pole has become a gameday staple at the Orlando Citrus Bowl. While this one comes in at number three, there are many hilarious and creative displays from the supporters that you’ll have to check out for yourself on Saturday.
2. Do or do not. There is no try.
Star Wars reference? Check. Yoda wearing sunglasses? Check. Creative banter? Check. This two-pole, spotted during Orlando City’s 4-0 defeat over LA Galaxy, scores in all three major categories and lands itself at number two on the list. We love the headphones as an extra touch. Are those Beats by D2?
1. The First
Four months of planning and execution. That is what it took to assemble this beautiful display for Orlando City’s inaugural match on March 8. A collaboration between the Iron Lion Firm, The Ruckus and local artist Earl Funk produced this tifo that will be remember by all 62,510 in attendance. Take a look at all the work that went into creating this masterpiece here.
