    Ok, homework assignment...think of a couple of songs we can sing there...I'd like to have one or two other than "IN-DE-PEN-DENCE! *claps*"

    If you aren't coming, please email them to me (reply to your last 'nack), as we're leaving here real soon.

    And Bryan and Corey are NOT allowed to work together on a song :D

    How was the name announcement? I was really bumbed to miss it. I had to go to a community meeting to try to drum up support for Kensington youth soccer (among other things). Gotta start developing those players and fans of the future!

    I probably sound like a complete douchbag, but while I think Sons of Ben is a fabulous name for the gents' supporters group, methinks that Daughters of Betsy is pretty weak for a name. I just doesn't sound as cool and clever as the SoBs. It don't have a much better suggestion ready now, but I am sure that something can be thought up. Lets just wait until the Independence logo etc. comes out and lets see what associations we have. Sorry for the grouchiness. :eek:

    I like it, but it'd be impossible to make a banner with that font.

    Dumb question, but...

    When we go to Harrisburg, we're not the Nephews of John Harris, Jr., and when we go to Reading, we're not the Stepchildren of Wallace Stevens. Any reason the Sons of Ben can't support the Independence the same way they support the Union, the Rage, and the City Islanders?

    Just like the DVI/SoB differential, there's a different demographic at play.

    Fine, how's this (to the Eric Geiger tune)

    It smells like fish and it's not the river end

    I get it, but it's not really the same. Club and national teams need different supporter groups since not all Union supporters are US-born and since we want to unite with supporters from other cities. Neither of those reasons apply to Independence and Union as they're both Philly club teams.

    I agree that Daughters of Betsy is a weak name. The origins are clever, but that doesn't make it a good name for a group. If it's not SoB, it should be something else.

    Yeah but not all fans of women's soccer are fans of men's soccer, either. Having it labeled as a seperate group shows we're committed to it versus just having a few people show up to the womens' games.

    Since the Independence jerseys will presumably be grey or silver, how about "Silver Bullets" or "Silver Lining" or something along those lines for the supporter groups' name? Just throwing around some ideas...

    I like the direction you're going although not necessarily those names specifically. When I think of the word "independence", the phrase "independence movement" always comes to mind, although I'm not sure that would be true for many others.
