What would you call the new Miami MLS team?

What David Beckham said today in Las Vegas:

Beckham later continued about MLS expansion and reaffirmed his commitment to his Miami project. According to SI's Grant Wahl, Beckham and his Miami group are targeting Miami real-estate giant Arthur Falcone to be the club's primary investor after talks with potential Qatari ownership fell apart.

"My commitment is to the MLS, I was lucky enough to purchase a franchise and I picked Miami which I'm very proud of, very excited about," Beckham said. "It's been a long process, I can't lie, but one that will continue.

"Great things take time, and I'm starting to realize that, especially over the last few years since we announced our ideas in Miami. So I understand that it takes time. What you have at the end of it is something that is so special.

"I'm excited about what we're doing in Miami. It's something that I'm very committed to, something that as an ambassador of the league now, as an owner of a franchise that is going to be very special for the people of Miami, I'm excited.

 

If Becks feels he has a better offer in LV, he could simply sell the Overtown parcels. No shovels have hit the dirt.

Not trying to be a hater but this is a threat Miami should take seriously. If Becks can't land an investor in Miami, it sounds like Ader may be his Vegas investor. Partnering with Davis/Sands/UNLV on a domed stadium could save Beckham millions on stadium financing his team would likely shoulder alone in Miami.

So bottom line question is what saves Beckham more - The Miami MLS franchise discount while financing entire project alone or partnering with Vegas & Mark Davis on stadium financing while paying a full expansion team price tag? Could he get the discount moved or was this agreement iron clad? Is this maybe posturing to force a better deal in Miami and land an investor? Lots of pieces here, will be interesting to see how it plays out.

 

Don't agree with it all, but reasonable approach to describing what could be a serious pivot by MBU, if that is actually what this is. Just another reason THE FANS should play a bigger role in bringing D-1/MLS to MIAMI.

 

Well, so much goes on behind the scenes that never makes it to us in the public. It's always good to have a plan B, and I'm sure MBU has one.

Not sure that Las Vegas can even compare to Miami on many levels - for one thing it is a much smaller TV market than Miami- and that matters to MLS folks when they negotiate broadcasting rights. Las Vegas has really nothing besides the tourist traps. Off the strip, there isn't much. People on the outside might think that describes Miami, but the truth is yes there is Miami Beach and a lot of tourists, but, Miami is also a real big city (over 6 million in S. Fla.) with the second largest concentration of international banks after NYC. It is also a transportation and commerce hub, a international gateway that links North America and South America as well as the Caribbean. It is the largest cruise ship port in the world. Not to say that a LV team couldn't prosper but I don't think it is an alternative to Miami. They're really very different from one another.

They now own the private land and sure it can be resold. This is a critical time because Miami-Dade politicians have done nothing so far to help the team. MBU says it is ready to pay market value for the remaining County owned parcel to attach to the private land. Will they get it? Stay tuned... My gut feeling is that they know they will get the parcel they need from Miami-Dade County, and that there has been some behind the scenes talk even before they closed on the private land. And, that MBU has finally learned not to make any public statements until the deal is completed.

 

This.

For the most part, this has been the Minnesota United playbook. Keep a low profile, let things happen behind the scenes. Hard on the nerves for us fans, but it works out better in the long run.

 

Just curious as to what the results would be, now. Considering other things.
Yes some on the list are names already in use, but that could change.

 

I'd feel MUCH more confident about things to hear/watch a big press conference with EVERYTHING being announced (name, kits, stadium sponsorship, ground breaking, etc.)

Than bits and pieces and basically celebrating every little baby step forward.

The way Andy has it set up, it could be both.

INTER MIAMI Palms / Las Palmas de INTER MIAMI.

Palm tree is on city seal and center of city flag, after all.

 

No.... just las palmas or palms, i kno you are tryin to sell inter guy, but come on, excessive much..

We should just go with atletico inter miami or deportivo inter miami then? Huevon.

Wait, are we talking about football or handball here?

 

Lol palmas as in palm trees not palm of hands

The Palms/Las Palmas would be a nickname. Atletico & Deportivo are right up there with Chivas. Too polarizing for a fan base that is not only all of South Florida, but the rest of the world. Open your mind and think globally, Papo.

 

Wow, no it wont, atletico and deportivo
Is as general as FC or SC, chivas is a specific name from a specific team, these are in no way the same case, inter i feel would be like a chivas, there are only about 2 to 3 teams with Inter in the world. You should open your mind Inter guy, there are better names than Inter Miami.

Haven't seen one yet.... Especially have not seen one that guarantees fan ownership, which you apparently don't like, even though a fan. What's up with that?? We need a big tent, Papo. And we need as much fan involvement as possible. Emphasizing our international-ness and guarantying fans some sort of ownership accomplishes a lot of what our MLS Miami club needs to succeed. Get on board, amigo. "INTER" works in a majority of languages here in South Florida, and many throughout the world. Free your mind, and your support will follow....

 

Well we can start off by Internazionale de Milano and Internacional de Porto Alegre.. point is tho, to compare Atletico or Deportivo as a Chivas USA type name, is incorrect. i believe Inter Miami would be closer to to a chivas usa type name being that there are only a few teams with Inter.

Now, Atletico and deportivo as a name may be more common but it is more normal as a soccer name.

Please dont call me Papo, thanks.

I agree with everything, you said, its is a great name, but if its going to put money in ur pocket, ******** that. I would be on board with you if you werent looking for a salary behind this, copyright crapt. If you were about the name and passion then hell yea without a doubt ill join ur push, but seeing that it is about the money, and owning the name, i refuse to join your clic.. you and ur 3 other inter guy (twitter accounts)

Pushing that horrible idea of pirates and colors for the uniform and ridiculous polls that only suggest your idea. Its not about the fans, if it was i would have a say in your polls, ideas, color schemes, other names (not just inter miami). Especially hiw involved and passionate i am, regarding soccer in miami (Dade brigade - Miami FC)

You are obviously pushing an idea because it will benefit you (so called the fans) without considering real fans that have other ideas (collective ideas) that can truly bring Miami closer to having an identity that we so desperatley need for this city (MLS Miami Team)

Dont ever call me papo again or i will take it as a threat. Please advise @SoccerPrime

Thought that was what you call yourself, no offense. Swear I saw PapoLucho somewhere, but respect you not wanting that used. There are literally Inter teams all over the world, even in Mexico and Finland. Atletico and Deportivo are pretty much just in Spanish-speaking (maybe Portuguese-speaking too) countries.

 

Dude, I don't know if you ever read our mission statement after directing you there so many times I lost count, but you are peddling nothing but lies with your imaginary narrative, and you need to stop. It makes you look petty and uneducated, or just plain stubborn and childish. It's not a copyright, it is a trademark, and it belongs to the fans who are part of INTER MIAMI SUPPORTERS TRUST. Fan-ownership is not a new concept, not even close. Get educated and quit being a wind-up toy.

Yes, @SoccerPrime, how does Big Soccer deal with libel, especially after the offender has been notified of the falsity of his statements multiple times and asked to stop?

 

I have read it, its shady as hell. Copyright, trademark whatever it is it still has the end result you want...money

Where has this been done? Please elaborate, MLS is the newest league in the world where teams spring up out the blue, the rest of the world has been playing soccer for 100 to 150 years. Please tell me where else this is being used? Where one guy (inter miami guy), takes the Trademark of a name and tries to sell it to the actual owner that has a right to a club and has to pay the (tradrmark owner) to use the name?! What? Does that make any sense? I aint going to that website ever, please, YOU, as a guy who wants this to work, please explain to me as a sales guy, sell me your product!! Go!!

You told me before you want Beckham to buy the right (yearly) tonuse the Inter Miami name, that money in turn will go to the fans, in turn, u will not get any of that money? For owning it? Come on guy? Uneducated and petty? Naw bro,im speaking my mind, it sucks other here dont express themselves on how, your concept is awful to begin with, pushing your horrible pirates ofnthe carribean idea as a mascot.

The only Inter Miami concept I LOVE and agree with is Diego Guevara, he put his heart into his concept, then you saw the credit he got and the quick fame and you went ahead and trademarked it. Douchey of u ask me. He was selling shirts with his concept because Miami loved it, and you with your outrageous crapt, no one likes it, yiu have to give it away and get people to take pics on ur facebook and twitter






Compare that to your concept


Untouchable man
