-kj Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Were pro/rel to ever happen, and I'm not holding my breath, it'd have to be as one entity. It'd have to be something like MLS1 and MLS2 (or maybe even MLS2 East and MLS2 West).But, it's pretty damned unlikely. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gothamite Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I think there's another (and I think more important) reason why it'll never happen.The SSS.Soccer-specific stadia. MLS's great invention and greatest triumph. The very foundation of the league. Being built all over the country for MLS clubs, as a condition of gaining/keeping a team in town.You try going to the mayor/governor/city council/state legislature/whoever coughed up tens of millions of public dollars to have a team in the top flight and tell them that the bright shiny new stadium might end up hosting a minor league team. And then see if anyone builds another. Not to mention defending the breach-of-contract lawsuits that will invariably follow. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Needschat Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 IF, and it's a MAJOR IF, New Orleans receives a Major League Soccer franchise, it should be called theNew Orleans Revelers, with the colors purple, green, and gold. Why? Because!! Revelry during Mardi Gras!!! Why purple, green, and gold? The official colors of Mardi Gras!! Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleujayone Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 So long as we're kicking around ideas...The Missisippi RiverJacks -(a "riverjack" being a steamboat captain/pilot)New Orleans Vampyres -(Anne Rice would be proud- you could even adapt the old Tampa Bay Mutiny logo)Fleuve de Delta Bleus -(Delta River Blues in French)Crescent City Dukes- (since New Orleans was named after Phillipe II- Duke of Orleans or just "Crescent City" for short)Big Easy Moondogs (Just liked the way that sounded) We all have our little faults.

It is a non-starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Not to go off-topic, but I always wondered what would've happened had Lamar Hunt a sense of humor and renamed his team "Football United Kansas City." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
