burgundy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I love the idea of nicknaming the USMNT the Turtles (for obvious reasons), but it wouldn't work as a universal name. I think the cardinal would represent the US pretty well, especially if they wear red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The US National soccer teams supporters are called the American Outlaws. Perhaps other teams could be called something that use this as the starting point. Team USA is kind of boring. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is from Lee, in the thread talking about the report a post feature.Politics? Report itPolitical threads are a no-go for a reason. Obviously some topics have an inherent political element to them, and we let that slide so long as things don't get too crazy. Here though? It's a discussion about potential US national team symbols. There's no need to bring politics into it beyond the very broad topic of "what animal would best represent the US on an international stage?"So yes. Certain political groups are associated with the DTOM snake. We're all aware of it. While I think the posters who have contributed to the thread so far are capable of discussing the issue calmly the fact is that it would balloon into a different discussion we rather not have.In short, keep politics out of it.Goth I only ask because I believe you've stated that you tend to only browse on the mobile version of the site, which doesn't necessarily inform you that you have a PM. So I'm asking you to check your PM box. It's nothing sinister, no need to worry.

IceCap Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 No worries. It's all good. PM should be in the mail anyway. As I said, nothing critical.As for the topic at hand? The DTOM soccer badge was very nice, but I don't think you guys really need an alternative to the eagle. The bald eagle, despite being the national animal, really doesn't appear all that often on American national team gear, regardless of sport. The common elements seem to be stars, wavy red and white bars, and the flag/shield emblem. The eagle should probably get more use, given how dynamic an animal it is.
