leopard88 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 They ought to just name them either the NY MetroStars as the NY Giants and NY Jets do, OR call them the Meadowlands MetroStars... most people (sports fans) know where that is.

roxfan00 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 This was from an online chat with the Sons of Ben and one of the owners.Chris Hapka: There's been a lot of speculation about the name of the team, and a lot of fans seem to like the idea of using "Athletic" or "Athletics" in the name, since it has a Philly connection and a soccer connection. Since Lew Wolff is a fellow MLS owner, can you tell us if anyone has spoken to him about the possibility of getting the rights to the "Philadelphia Athletics" name if it wins the name poll?Nick Sakiewicz: I have not spoken to Lew and we are only looking at the possibility right now along with a lot of other namesKit:-Preliminary kits coming this fall some time for all of the fans to see and opine about. We would like our fans to be involved in choosing our colors and logo design. Not sure about colors, etc. yet.-Expect the full kits, scarves, etc. will be available in stores sometime in Q3 or Q4 2009.Sons of Ben "Mr. President, call in the National Guard!
