I know you are thinking of our Great fire but every time I hear Inferno I think of Dante's Inferno. Put this quote above the Visitors dressing room. “Abandon hope all ye who enter here"
Sorry late to this thread.... I like Admirals Armada Commodores (though it does sound a bit like commode) or something river related haven't put my finger on it yet.
That's hilarious! Reminds me of my favorite David Seaman joke. === Walking down the streets of London England's #1 David Seaman comes upon a burning building. Flames are everywhere. In a sixth floor window there is a woman, crying out, "Help! Help! I've got my baby here, and I'm afraid to jump while holding him!" The fireman tell her to drop the baby on the trampoline and they'll catch her, but the woman doesn't think that will be safe. Seaman walks up and bellows. "Mam, I'm David Seaman, England's #1, and the safest pair of hands in all the Kingdom!" The woman looks at Seaman, falls in love his dreamy moustache and drops her 7 month old son out the window. Seaman dons his umbro gloves and is in position, but the baby's blanket gets caught on a pole, and changes the direction and puts spin on the baby as he is catapulting towards the earth. Seaman jumps on the trampoline, bounds on top of an ambulance and makes the diving catch. The crowd goes wild, cheering, clapping, women screaming, Seaman waves to the crowd and punts the boy 60 yards down the street on a line. Thank you, thank you, please tip your servers...
that joke was doing the rounds about liverpool keeper Ray Clemence when I was a kid in the 70s, and Gordon Banks (and several other keepers) bedfore him
In the mid 90's in England you could get away with asking a woman which do you prefer???? Flowers or Seaman.......
My grandfather told me a similar joke as a child, but it was an American Football wide receiver, and after catching the baby, he did a touchdown dance and then spiked it.
You guys don't want to have the beloved Teamen back and act like they never left? That is what we do here in the NASL. Could always use the Cyclones name if you want to capitalize on USL history.
There's no reason to have a team called the "Tea Men" unless you're from a city that had the actual "Tea Party" or your squad is owned by Lipton, both of which were true in Boston's case. Whey Jax kept the name when they moved here is beyond me (Well not that far beyond, considering Lipton still owned them). Still . . . I think the Inferno would look good in some Red and Yellow, just like the Sunshine Soccer Group badge
Totally agree, the name sucked, the team struggled both on the field and at the gates, plus only lasted for 4 seasons (2 in the NASL and another 2 in the USL)
I'd take a retro night with the Cyclones over a retro night with the Tea Men. As for the name, I like Armada, which is nothing new in this thread.
