Potential Names

I actually wouldn't mind Inter de San Diego. Just don't spell it the Italian way. Club San Diego, CD San Diego, San Diego FC, San Diego SC, any of those normal names would do me just fine though. The only way I'd like a "mascot" name would be if they were to go back to the Sockers.

 

Didn't the old Flash try that in their final year.

 

San Diego Admirals or
San Diego Fleet or
San Diego Armada

colors: purple/white/black MLS needs a purple team

 

San Diego Fleet. Now there's an idea. Not unlike Ebbsfleet over in England.

 

Better than yet another blue team. Blue fits SD but there's enough blue and white in MLS. Everyone looks the same.

 

ill give a red and yellow striped shirt a shot. its unique, and are San Diego flag colors

 

I wouldn't mine the club being named "San Diego United FC", with navy, orange and white as colors.

 

Name is already taken by an amateur club.

 

But there is nothing keeping a pro club from using the same name.

San Diego United FC

 

No thank you with he blue and orange. I like the red and gold... they're our city's colors and it'd be unique in MLS.

 

Um yeah a little something called Trademark actually...

 

i like Fleet, Armada, and Pumas. i'm even partial to Destroyers

 

What about using "Mission San Diego FC".

 

I, along with a few others, have raised concerns about that name. The Mission was a horrible, terrible place.

 

Or how about Gold and (Ron) Burgundy?


















I'll grab my jacket...

 

I have always dreamed of a MLS team in San Diego named the "San Diego Mission".

But if a team named after the Mission is going to upset a bunch of constituents and alienate part of the fan base, then maybe it's not a good idea.

 

I like Destroyers. Has a nice ring to it on multiple levels.

 

Yeah, I understand the fact that a lot of people would like the name. I hold the complete and utter whitewashing of the history on the part of the State of California and the individual Missions to blame. Calling them concentration camps is not an exaggeration, and the descendants of the victims are still here. I have a few Kumeyaay friends, and I can tell you I wouldn't be able to look them in the eye while cheering for a team with Mission in the name. It means a lot to some people.

 

I voted 'Other', and apparently so did most. I vote we lock this thread and start the poll again with new names. This time with the ones that got positive responses in the other thread. Let's leave off 'FC' for now; that can be debated another time.

Please add:

San Diego Surfriders

San Diego Internacional (or replace the "Inter" one with this, since that's an abbreviation of this. Spanish spelling please, not English or Italian)

San Diego Ospreys

San Diego Destroyers

San Diego Fleet (from this thread and a good new suggestion)

Thank you.

 

every time i hear calls for "san diego international", i keep wanting to finish the phrase with "auto show"

and i agree.

 

And I think "airport"...

...which is why it has to be the Spanish word and pronunciation, anything else sounds kinda lame.
