NJTank Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Now Jigga I am sure you know who the New York Cosmos were, and why it would be great to have a MLS team with that name again. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The Mets might as well try their hand at soccer.That baseball thing hasn't quite worked out so well the past couple few seasons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The Mets might as well try their hand at soccer.That baseball thing hasn't quite worked out so well the past couple few seasons....Is it because they can't score? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 The Mets might as well try their hand at soccer.That baseball thing hasn't quite worked out so well the past couple few seasons....Is it because they can't score?Well they have had plenty of soccer practice from kicking the dirt. Throw a ball in front of them and see how they do with that. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Now Jigga I am sure you know who the New York Cosmos were, and why it would be great to have a MLS team with that name again.Correct.Well, halfway correct. I know who they were, I just think it's a stupid name (unless it's the synonym of the universe) and I wanted to bring attention to it.Would you rather I'd shown a picture of Cosmo Kramer?Cosmopolitan Magazine?

NJTank Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Kramer would have been funnierI dont care if its the best name or not, I like to bring them back since they arethe best professional soccer team in America ever. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The name was for the astrological term, not short for "Cosmopolitans." It was mentioned in Once in a Lifetime, the documentary about the Cosmos. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Swiss Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Uhhhh... when the Mets bring soccer to Queens, it quickly oust baseball. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camden Crazy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If they do get the bid, I hope they stay away from the Cosmos name...European names FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The name was for the astrological term, not short for "Cosmopolitans." It was mentioned in Once in a Lifetime, the documentary about the Cosmos.Sorry Mock, but your memory is faulty. That's 180 degrees reversed.The name was coined by Clive Toye, the Cosmos' first manager (who is featured in Once in a Lifetime). The previous New York professional club had been the Mets, New York Mets. And 'Mets' is short for 'Metropolitans.' So I thought "Well, what's bigger than 'metropolitan' and came up with 'cosmopolitan', and suddenly it clicked - 'Cosmos'. That's how the Cosmos became the Cosmos.In his book A Kick in the Grass: The Slow Rise and Quick Demise of the NASL, Toye describes coming up with the name, then rigging a "name the team" contest to support it.FWIW, I don't see how the next New York team doesn't use the name. A great opportunity to tap into one of the few really glamorous moments in American soccer history. Somebody call Pepi and strike the deal. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

-kj Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 My memory's faulty by default, this isn't news. Hm, I guess I just misunderstood that when I heard it before. Now I've decided that it's a completely stupid name. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gothamite Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I had the exact opposite reaction - I was relieved to find out that it wasn't one of those stupid singular names, and stopped opposing its adoption by the new New York team.

-kj Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Instead, it's a made-up name, much like Mets.Ah, you crazy New Yorkers. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Swiss Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like the Cosmos unisOK, it's about personal tastes of each one of us, Tank. For me, the old Cosmos unis aren't enough "soccerful". The white jersey with green details didn't fit with the soccer lore as I use to watch in Europe and South America. And its chest logo always included a soccer ball... it's too '70s style for little leagues.A soccer jersey with the New York City flag colors would be attractive. And a logo derivatived from the NYC coat of arms also would be nice. Some German teams made logos from its hometown's coat of arms.
