macalesterscots Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Alamo City SCArsenal AtlantaRoyal Charlotte As a guy that has lived in SA for most of his life, I kinda don't get this name.SA isn't usually reffered to as "Alamo City" like others like Chicago with "Windy City" or Portland with "Rose City". The Alamo is a rather single event that the city is known for. And in SA, there really isn't a lot of exciting stuff to replace it with. I would've gone with the SA Lone Stars, that's what I voted for, as that really signifies the Alamo theme the best, as it was a stand to help give Texas it's independence. Names and nitpicks aside, I'm looking forward to this project. I'm a huge football fan, and since I've signed up here I've seen some great football series. Yeah my entry was Alamo FC, partially because of the fact San Antonio isn't referred to as that and partially because I didn't want an overkill of "City" monikers.

If I were ThePeam, I'd reserve those titles for a few select teams that get referred to by that name on a frequent basis. "Alamo City" just isn't associated enough with SA for me to be cool with it. It's a bit of a stretch if you ask me. And it's not like you're short of half-decent names there either.

ThePeam Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Capital CityPhiladelphia Brothers Bluff City BluesNo more "City" teams will be added to the polls. (It's getting out of hand.)
kevsim1 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Thorns SC is safe to cross off my master list, right?
TheGiantsFan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Add this one to the Seattle list, the Seattle Emeralds. BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO
DS729 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Wait so Alamo City and Bluff City make the cut, and you cut out slam-dunks like "Rose City" and "Emerald City", man, this voting is beyond me. I'd definitely add "Thorns FC" to Portland's list.
ThePeam Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Thorns SC is safe to cross off my master list, right?Crap Kevsim, I totally missed yours sorry.Wait so Alamo City and Bluff City make the cut, and you cut out slam-dunks like "Rose City" and "Emerald City", man, this voting is beyond me. I'd definitely add "Thorns FC" to Portland's list. Again sorry Dylan, but everyone keeps complain' about the "city" names.
kevsim1 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Thorns SC is safe to cross off my master list, right?Crap Kevsim, I totally missed yours sorry.Nah, you're good. The other two are good enough.
TheGiantsFan Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 One of the poll choices should be Golden Gate SC. Golden State SC is on there twice... BEHANCE | PORTFOLIO
BTL Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm voting for the second Golden State SC, pretending it says Golden Gate SC. Could you fix that?
ThePeam Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 One of the poll choices should be Golden Gate SC. Golden State SC is on there twice...Fixed. Thanks for noticing.
