Just got done talking with knuckles, bright and Kaged about this one (two of whom are not ECS but want to start their own groups).
My vision would be to use the ECS as an umbrella group that everyone can belong to. The current folks that you're seeing in the section want to start the ECS Ultras (or some other name).
Every sub-group can then go out and do whatever they want. You want to make a kids-friendly atmosphere called "Flying Monkeys" then we're cool. Want to make someone for folks that like the British-style of sitting down (or have to sit down) then do that!
Main benefits:
I want to be under one banner so that we can order scarves as one group and we can order shirts under one group and so that we have some unity and cohesion. There are also other lines of merchandise that we haven't really even explored yet (decals for your car, coffee mugs for your desk and calendars are just some ideas). Also would love to have huge ECS tailgates where everyone can come out and enjoy their style of tailgate and support. Lastly, we already have tradition. We have two years under our belt as ECS and we should continue to use that name. There is no reason to start over. Let's just get bigger!
So, the next order of business would be - do we stick with the ECS name or do we want a new name for the umbrella group?
