arsenalhenry Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Since Joan Laporta the president of FC Barcelona said his club is interested in being involved in Major League Soccer i thought no better time since it would be odd to only add one team in toronto. Since FC Barcelona is often seen shortened to Barca or FC Barca i thought it would be clever to call the team in Philly FC Phila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ugh, please no.I never liked the way "PHILA" looked or sounded on the old Phillies and 76ers uniforms. I like the idea of MLS in town, but who calls the city "Phila"? "Philly", yeah. Even "Illadelph" if you must. But "Phila"?Since MLS already has an FC _____ (Dallas), they could borrow from other Euro leagues: Dynamo Philadelphia, Inter Philadelphia, Liberty City FC (as in, don't use the actual city name, but a nickname of the city)... "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
