| Top Ten: New Names for the Dallas Burn |
| 1 | Dallas Diablos | Please, please, please, please… Dark, cool, red and black, name reaches both target markets, young hip… did I say cool? Doesn’t meet the requirements of local history though. |
| 2 | Dallas Texans | Local history for you in terms of the old Lamar’s old football team (now the KC Chiefs in case you missed it). Hunt still owns the name in fact and Houston of the NFL had to ask him for permission to use Texans… or so the story goes. Plus they can affiliate with the youth club of same name, which just happens to be one of the best in the nation. |
| 3 | Dallas Tornado | Elliott came from San Jose where they went old-school NASL. Too bad DFW Tornados already have that name in the soccer world, along with the local youth hockey team. Oh yeah Hunt owns this name too from his days as owner of Dallas Tornado of the NASL. |
| 4 | Dallas Republic | As in The Republic of Texas. Talk about your local history. |
| 5 | Texas Whatever | No Dallas… but a state name. |
| 6 | Dallas Dynamo | A great soccer name both here and abroad. |
| 7 | Dallas Deportivo | Another name with history and a nod to the Hispanic market in Dallas. |
| 8 | Dallas Rangers | Soccer history, local ties, probably can’t use it though. |
| 9 | Dallas SC | Simple and Soccer, but not a cool mascot. |
| 10 | Frisco Burn | God help us if the name is Frisco and not Dallas. |
