ohryan Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I hate that the soccer teams in North America insist on using European-inspired names. It's idiotic.I agree. The Salt Lake Xangos would be a much better name. Real Salt Lake reminds me of people who try to add a fake french accent when they say "Tour de France" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same meaning, but it doesn't end up like the Tour de France situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totc Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 No complaints here...wondering , though , if the relatively obscure sponsorships will outnumber major sponsors...That's the problem, IMHO. A sponsorship can lend credibility or take away from it -- the "Chico's Bail Bonds" effect.I'm not so sure about Xango in this case ... I'd have thought that RSL might have gone for something outdoorsy (L.L. Bean), or something to do with bees and honey (what else but Sue Bee honey?), or maybe a rich business with a conservative bent (AFLAC or Chick-Fil-A).I just hope that D.C. United doesn't choose the D.C. Lottery or the Nexus Gold Club ...I hate that the soccer teams in North America insist on using European-inspired names. It's idiotic.I agree.

That price is already 100 million dollars, what Red Bull paid for The Artists Formerly Known As The Metrodonkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
