Brian in Boston Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm hearing that the new team won't be called "Sounders" nor will the Sounders colors will be used...If true, that's a damned shame. A classic example of a traditional and storied identity being dumped for no good reason. It's simply change for change's sake. Absolutely asinine.

xxjdm66 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The question will be if the current Sounder team will stay in the USL or will the team move to the MLS.If the current Sounder team stays in the USL, then the new MLS team will need a new team name. I'm thinking Emerald City F.C., OK so it's a bit European Redskin IS a racist term, no matter how Daniel Snyder tries to spin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirearmofMutiny Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Seattle Super Sonics FC!That would actually work.Except that MLS would have to deal with the NBA, the same league that gave us "Los Angeles Lakers", "Utah Jazz", and "New Orleans Hornets".

mania Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If you're trying to build a major league identity, using the name of a floundering lower-league team, even for all of it's tradition, is not a genuine step forward.

Just pretend they got "promoted" that way current fans are happy and new fans....well they'll come one way or another if they like what they see on the field.

Krona Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 who cares. the :censored:ers in seattle don't deserve the team.I second that emotion. From everything Ive read, Garber wanted a team in Portland. I guess the deep pockets in seattle won out. Have fun in quarter full stadium, guys. might as well call them Lame Duck FC.
