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.

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 names

Kit:

-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.
