Top Ten Names for MLS teams if we were in charge. |
1 | Mile High Football Club | I didn’t make it up, but still a great name, I would want to join this one too. I could live with Colorado Rapid if I have to, just drop the ‘S’ off the end. |
2 | New York Metro | Drop that stars crap. Just go with Metro. |
3 | Boston Irish | Kraft would never go for the Boston thing, but I just don’t like New England as a name, it’s not even a state. Would have to go green of course. |
4 | Los Angeles Gringos | Embrace your Ugly Americanism. Plus it matches the new jerseys. |
5 | Dallas Diablos | See MLS Redesign project. Love the team, but Burn is a silly name. Works in two languages and with current colors. |
6 | Philadelphia Athletic | What the heck, they are on the final list. A great name with local history and classic international themes. They get to be MLS’s first Orange team. |
7 | Columbus 1492 | We need a number name in MLS. And yes, you can do that in the US. Ever heard of the 76’ers? 49’ers? |
8 | Kansas City | Just City. That’s it. Classic name. |
9 | Oklahoma Wind | Seriously. why not? Roughnecks, Tornado, and Sooners have been done. I wonder what the over/under is on Oklahoma Wrath? |
10 | San Jose Quakes | Earth is just to unwieldy. Quakes is not to bad. |
