    Well I would favor going back to American style sports names---it seems to me like a natural fit would be the sharks. The Great Hammerhead, Bull, and Tiger sharks all make their homes in florida waters. You can easily rent a boat in the beaches of Miami and Miami Beach and just go a few miles from the beach and be sharkfishing.
    From a graphic design point of view--there's lots of interesting things that could be done with a shark logo or crest.

    As far as I know the only shark named team in international soccer that has any type of hype is Tiburones de Veracruz, so on the international stage it is not a name that is as worn out and tired as some others, and it would be very easy to make a shark logo or crest that looks completely different from veracruz's.

    Miami Sharks, Miami Hammerheads

    I'm afraid if this goes on too much longer you may be calling them the Las Vegas Quicksilvers.

    Not against this personally, but from a marketing/branding perspective, MLS probably doesn't want to look like their copying a NHL club. Soccer teams in Europe sure but not American teams.

    I'm sure it is possible to make it different enough so as to avoid copyright issues, but i understand your point.

    If it absolutely must be a name from the list then I favor going back to Miami Fusion.. It was a team with wonderful chemistry on the field that deserved better than to die. Valderrama was great in his blue and yellow shirt. It would honor MLS history and establisih continuity between MLS 1.0 and MLS 3.0

    I put this in the other thread but maybe this post will get to a larger audience here:

    I was watching Univision (Fidel is dead coverage) today, and heard for the first time the term Miamense. I was like " Miami what?" Yes Miamense, sounds like Fluminense, Chapocoense, etc.

    Why not have our MLS Miami team named after that? MIAMENSE, it speaks solely to someone from Miami, it kind of has that pride in it, read the definition here:

    https://mx.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100111193502AArjM7k

    It is exactly what it means, just wanted your guys opinion on it. It was just an idea. LMK what yall think.

    Miamense
    Atletico Miamense
    Miamense FC
    FC Miamense
    Deportivo Miamense
    Miamense Deportivo
    Yall get the idea...thoughts?

    Why not just rename the city of Miami, "Port City". Or Mayaimi.
    Port City Sports Club
    Port City Pirates
    Port City Sharks.
    Mayaimi City FC.
    Mayaimi SC.

    :p

    Anither idea for naming of this team could be like the example you see above, this is a team in argentina close to the pacific ocean.

    You think Miami can be called Sporting Club Atlantico? Or something along those lines? Thoughts?

    Well if Becks leaves for Vegas,,, and "if" he can get The Raiders' Davis as a partner, they could be called the LV Bandits.
