raysox Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They're having a contest to name the new NASL team to play in 2014 in Northern Virginia.http://www.naslvirginia.com/name-the-team/Any ideas? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Rebels. Something to play up the old military history of Northern VA and its linkage with generals like Washington and Lee. Maybe Rebellion? Or perhaps Tide(s) or Breakers, depending on where exactly this team will be located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Loudoun County is about 30 miles west of Washington, D.C. and it's currently the top ranked county in the U.S. based on medium household income.I'd be happy if the club was named Loudoun County FC or FC Northern Virginia; however, I would be even more ecstatic if the club is named in honor of the farms and vineyards within the county.

Enio125 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'd go with Virginia Commonwealths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needschat Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Could use the nicknames from Washington teams past: Diplomats and Whips. They could also use names that were proposed if Northern Virginia had been awarded an MLB expansion team: Virginia Fury or Virginia Generals. Oh what could have been....

rvrdgsfn Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 http://www.naslvirginia.com/finals/The final 3 choices are.... Calvary, Dominions & Stallionsif I had to pick I prefer Calvary with Stallions being a close 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The final 3 choices are.... Calvary, Dominions & StallionsThe final three choices in the NASL Virginia "Kick the Vote" team naming campaign are, in fact:* Cavalry, not Calvary - The first denotes an army component either mounted on horseback, or - in modern warfare - moving in motor vehicles or helicopters. The latter is the hill outside of ancient Jerusalem on which Jesus was crucified, or a sculpted, outdoor depiction of said crucifixion.* Dominion, not Dominions* Virginia StallionsOf the three, I'd prefer Virginia Dominion FC, or Virginia Dominion SC.

Titanole Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Of the three, I'd prefer Virginia Dominion FC, or Virginia Dominion SC.I could live with that. You know, say what you will about America.

fumbler Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Those three options are not at all good choices IMO, they have no real appeal to people who are either looking at flashy new out there images or the retro crowd. RICHMOND TIGERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I picked Stallions. "Virginia Stallions" rolls off the tongue the best out of the three, imo, but I would've liked to have seen "Londone County" or "Virginia Commonwealth" happen, as Mindless and Enio suggested.

BrySmalls Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Those three options are not at all good choices IMO, they have no real appeal to people who are either looking at flashy new out there images or the retro crowd.I agree completely.I would struggle to live with either Dominion moniker that Brian in Boston provided since it easily reminds of me Dominion Virginia Power and not "Old Dominion" or other dominion related references.In addition, Cavalry invokes the University of Virginia Cavaliers.That leaves the only logical, and regrettable, choice to name the club Stallions due to all the equestrian stables in and around Northern Virginia. However, there once was a club called the New Jersey Stallions.Therefore, I think they need to go back to the drawing board on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumbler Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't think an amateur squad with the same name disqualifies "Stallions".Actually i think Mindless is correct, if this Club wants to forge it's own image and eventually hit the MLS it will need something that does not remind people of a two bit Ammo team.
