Weird... Arsenal should be Arsenal. Not Colorado. Are they going to want to be called Arsenal plain and simple, or The Colorado Arsenal?

Funny, it's not even on their website yet...

I love soccer, but this is ridiculous. So I guess when we get an expansion team in here in San Jose, we can expect something along the lines of San Jose Hotspur...what's next, Kansas City Chelsea?

To be perfectly fair, their new stadium in Commerce City is on land that was part of the old Rocky Mountain Arsenal.


It's still retarded.

The MLS well never get the wide audience in America as football gets all over the world.

So why do they have to try and name the teams like Europe, pffft.

American's way of naming teams is
Code:
City - Nickname


Fuck even this year ReAl SL is going to go with putting advertising space on their shirts ala European football. :roll:

^It's a local beverage drink company.

That is probably going to happen to everyone eventually. It's good for the league. Money is always good for the league.

Real SL has one of the most rotten name and logo combos in all sport. I mean, when I think of salt lake, i do NOT think "real".

Oops, sorry I meant ReAL.

I have to say though, names like Toronto FC and DC United is a HELL of a lot better than stupid names like Mutiny, Clash, and Galaxy.

Well we might not be in the MLS for that much longer, the city that has the property to build us a stadium, has decided that they will lose money in the endeavor.

The RSL owner will probably sale the team.

Indeed we did. The information leaked out was apparently false.
