Brian in Boston Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Western Melbourne Group - which was granted a Hyundai A-League expansion franchise this past December - has partnered with the Herald Sun newspaper to conduct a fan vote to determine the team's name and colors. Victoria residents 18 years of age and older can cast their votes here. The voting period began this past Saturday, February 2nd and runs through Sunday, November 3, 2019. Candidate names and colors were culled from suggestions made by supporters who took part in a survey at a Community Forum the club hosted in August of last year. Said candidates are:Team NamesWestern United FC Western Melbourne Athletic FC Western Pride FC Western Melbourne Warriors FC ( Participants can also submit a name of their choice for the club.)Team ColorsRed Black Green White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentrygraphics Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It'd be interesting to have them partner with the Aussie Rules code team and just call themselves "Western Bulldogs AFC" "This isn't just the Oregon Ducks, it's Football's Future Turf Soldier War Hero Steel Robot Tech Flex Machine Army." -CS85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFight Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Green and Black, Western United. That's my hope, as an American. I think that could be tight, and no teams in the league really have green in their schemes at all and we know it looks good with black from Sassuolo.

Brian in Boston Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well, despite announcing just last month that it was partnering with the Herald Sun newspaper to conduct a nine-month fan vote to determine the team name and colors for its Hyundai A-League expansion franchise, Western Melbourne Group apparently received enough feedback in ten days to make a decision. The team, to be based in the southwestern Melbourne suburbs, has been named Western United FC and will sport official colors of green and black. It is thought that the club's home kit will feature green and black stripes.Western United FC: New Hyundai A-League club confirms name and colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
