    Spin doctor, not.

    #1 Clock Ran out on us using the XF brand so-

    Effective immediately: Crossfire Oregon will become the Oregon Premier Football Club. We want to publicly thank the team at Crossfire Premier for a wonderful five years! In our time working together our club received many benefits working with one of the strongest brands in youth soccer.

    #2 No chance in hell-

    We will continue to play in the Crossfire Premier tournaments and support their
    teams and club.

    #3 Try and digest what we are saying in the next passage. Good luck, it's not based on facts it's simply a mindless ramble about a reality we created in our imagination, it will confuse you and give you a glimpse of what motivates us and how gullible you are as parents-

    In 2013 OSSA (remember them?)formed a partnership with Crossfire Premier to become Crossfire Oregon. At that time the landscape of youth soccer was changing dramatically. The Timbers were creating their alliance, development academy programs were opening all across the country and local clubs were moving back and forth between OYSA and the OPL. The leadership of then OSSA felt that by aligning with a powerful regional partner our players would be given more high level opportunities.

    #4 Even though we have announced the bizarre mid year split from XFP, how bout this anecdote for even more fuzziness-

    Five years later the soccer landscape has settled and it is time to part ways with Crossfire
    Premier.

    #5 Since we can't explain to the public why we lost the brand mid year. How bout this-

    Our club is now strong and stable and we are ready to stand alone and take steps that
    will better serve our players, community and state. As Oregon Premier FC we will not have any affiliation with any other youth soccer club in America. In 2019 we will be making changes that will improve our product on and off the field. We will be making changes in registration and payment processes in an effort to make it easier for our families. We will update our communication platforms and continue working on opening a new sports park with turf fields with lights. We will be offering new, unique and creative products on the field for players that strive to play in college.

    #6 If this doesn't clear things up for you please rely on the world wide web-

    To learn more about our new name and direction and how it may impact our current players you can visit www.oregonpremierfc.com after January 1, 2019.

      And they have a style guide!

      Still the same lousy Route One soccer, I'm sure, but they have colors from heraldry!

      ("On a field Azure, a bunch of stars, Or").

      A good rule of thumb for Oregon youth soccer: The slicker the website, the lousier the club.

                Uh, many of us have kids that play for independents and are laughing at yiu.

                Sure it’s just a name but it’s it’s a symptom of something bigger and you know it

                    So you don’t play OYSA? You have your own completely “independent” leagues? Otherwise your money goes the same place as everyone else’s ... club, coaches, and Peregrine.

                      Even the independents are changing their names like adf to finesse

                      Probably all about restructuring their debts

                          Its awesome that money from youth soccer goes to peregrine - truly one of the best things about youth soccer in the region.

                            New Web page for OPFC (former XFO/XFU) claims the THUSC product (XFU) will stay as part of OPFC going forward.

                            Since there was no value to keep the Crossfire name and coincidentally its being taken away from THUSC, LOSC & WUSC as of Jan 1 2019.

                            Makes sense OPF CU is the new name and it works well with new club label OPFC. This aspect seems the only thing that fits like a glove. Cute

                              Why make stuff up? Nothing was taken away, but maybe boys side just didn't see value in crossfire name anymore and girls side it is a little different story.

                              Some communications just went out to ECNL parents that not changing away from Crossfire; simply nothing taken away, other than your credibility for making **** up.
