Jezus_Ghoti Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Either you actually know what Real Salt Lake is and that was a (terrible) joke, or you didn't bother to take the 1 second that would be required to answer that (stupid) question.Either way you look like a dingus.

Gothamite Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Salt_LakeThe word "real" in the team's name is taken from the Spanish word real. Real, as it is used in Real Salt Lake, and in the names of certain Spanish soccer clubs such as Real Madrid, is roughly pronounced ray-all, with the accent on the al. When translating the Spanish word real into English, it has more than one meaning. In Spanish, the word real is used to mean real, as in real life (la vida real); also, it is used to mean royal, as in royal family (familia real). This distinction notwithstanding, the two meanings are still closely connected. Things spoken of in Spanish as real carry with them a slight feeling of royal, and vice versa.In the case of the names of soccer clubs, real is used to mean royal. This name is bestowed on a number of clubs that play in Spain's La Liga by the Spanish crown. The Salt Lake City club's owner, Dave Checketts, desired to attach his team to a successful soccer club, Real Madrid, as well as to develop a brand that was clearly associated with 'soccer', leading to the choice of name. The team's uniform and colors were inspired by those of the Spanish national team.The team's name was initially met with derision and pessimism among the fan community. Many fans thought the name should more accurately reflect the Salt Lake area. Such complaints seem curious, however, being that the Utah Jazz of the NBA does not comply with such a standard. In the past year the criticism from local fans and the media has waned, and the club has instituted a formal relationship with Real Madrid that brings it numerous advantages.

TBGKon Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 this is just the first of many teams that will get shirt sponsors in MLS. Since Tampa no longer has a team, I have tied my allegiance to FC Dallas and the new MLS Cup Champs Houston Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 IM interested to see what other MLS clubs do with their kits with the new sponsorship rules. Hopefully they keep it strict and classy in regards to what sponsors they choose.
