I'd imagine that would be even dicier on copyright grounds, though I see your point. Really I'm not wild about any of the ideas that all MLS teams need to pick one of the cliche styles like that. But in this case... STLCSC set a record for clunkiest acronym with a lot of letters, and none of them are A, but that's all I see in that logo.

Think the Union was a fairly good marriage of MLS naming motifs and something that worked for the area on a lot of levels.

 

Would’ve been interesting though to have Philadelphia Athletic, would that have been possible? Or would it have had some issues?

In a vacuum I'd agree, but it always felt like it would've worked better if they didn't have the original and still definitive MLS United in one direction on I-95 and the original Revolutionary War-themed navy team in the other, as ostensible regional rivals. (Also part of the reason that their long-overdue embrace of Philly city flag colors is so successful, at least for me.)

No because there are none.  Train and bus dodgers, yes.  Not trolley.

 

No thanks to Goodyear, GM and Standard Oil.  Allegedly.
