From the way the fan vote was structured they would have added an SC/FC to whatever name won. I'm sure some people, like me, submitted Quicksilver but it never even made the top six. I also suggested something like Vegas 1906, a nod to the year the town was founded. If they had gone with 1906 we would never hear the end of it from Deutsches Fußball fans, as the year is supposed to be when the club was founded, not when the city or town was founded. Can't please everyone. all-Rush mixtape posted:I'm going on record as saying I want Austin's team to be known as Austin A.F.C., mainly because the only non-American team I root for uses that identifier. I'm so very sorry.  There's actually quite a lot of English clubs that use the A.F.C. in their official names as in the early days (late 1800s/early 1900s) they were competing with other local F.C.'s (some of whom were actually rugby clubs, not soccer clubs) and the additional clarification was necessary to avoid confusion. But lots of these clubs don't bother using their full official names in ordinary marketing anymore. Do over Ham fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Sep 5, 2017 |

I loved the name Silverbacks.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Silverbacks  The big huge inflatable gorilla they had where the team ran through was so awesome! I also did love the Cincinnati Kings and their logo was dope as well:

Angstronaut posted:http://fiftyfive.one/2017/09/us-soccer-federation-rejects-nasls-division-ii-application/ Hail Satan! Seriously just merge NASL into USL already. It's obvious by now that USL has won the D2 wars. D2 will be a lot stronger united under the USL umbrella, and could use the additional bigger markets currently in NASL (NY Cosmos, Indy Eleven, NCFC, Miami FC, SF Deltas, etc.). Lots more local rivals that way. Edit to add: and yes I realize that NY Cosmos and Miami FC would probably not want to go to USL and/or USL would not want them; I'm talking ideally, it would make the most sense. Once again it would be nice if USSF would step in and impose some order but I'm not holding my breath. fyallm posted:I loved the name Silverbacks..

If and when there's a great migration from the NASL to the USL, how exactly are they going to handle a total of around 40 teams? They're going to need to bring back USL-1 and USL-2 ASAP.

So NASL is suing USSF. Looks like we can continue that "we literally do not know" title into next year. But then again we could have run that title since 2009 or 2010; at this rate we might see a full decade of lower league chaos.

hopefully The Good Result that we all wanted in 2016 happens and the going concern teams (indy, ncfc, jax) are able to jump ship to usl. deltas and prfc fold, edmonton goes to csl or whatever, and the cosmos play an entire season of friendlies against the likes of valencia and al-ittihad. idk what happens to the miami fc, but nothing mls-related bc of their court of arbitration for sport lawsuit . Nothing got leaked from the nasl board of governors meeting except that railhawks owner and ussf board member steve malik voted against suing himself.

Because soccer in the US isn't enough of a clusterfuck, apparently we now have the NPSL sending letters to the USSF and threatening to sue because - if you'll believe the reporting - the USL has been caught bribing NPSL teams to switch over to the USL's amateur circuit, the Premier Developmental League or PDL or whatever you call it. One of the good lower-league news sources was able to confirm the attempts to intice NPSL teams to switch with 2-3 owners, but they wouldn't go on the record because apparently things are still unfolding. So now we have a kerfuffle over teams being offered cash to switch amateur soccer leagues.

Crazy Ted posted:They would have had a chance had the owners hired actual front office specialists instead of literally trying to crowdsource attendance through word of mouth. IIRC Sacramento Republic and Tampa Bay Rowdies have similar ticket prices but manage to sell tickets anyway. But they do have professional front office ticket specialists to actually sell tickets. Columbus Crew moving to Austin? This was not how I envisioned Austin getting its team back. Bad karma from Orlando.
