Houston team name: the new version

Houston Whitneys

 

I'm a big fan of the Republic name.

2006 Republic sounds the best to me, and it seems practical.

 

Houston Aftershocks..

Eagles is good since it has the NASA connection..
"Houston.. The Eagle has landed.."

 

Out of the ones listed above, I like Eagles. If I had a say I would add "Jaguars" as an option. It's not Texas specific, but I like the way Houston Jaguars sounds. But anyway, congrats on the new team....it's about time! I never understood why Houston didn't have a team...strong soccer community, diverse population...

 

Where is the Toros?

 

Republic? Would that make your supporters "republicans?" Ouch!

 

In the hamburgers at McDonald's...

 

Holy cow..

 

Yah.. That name sounds rather Bush league to me..

 

Yes! I am not agreeing to that one at all. *shudders*

 

I can't stop myself..

 

Athletico Houston.....anything else is just second rate.

 

you mean, holy cows

 

What about the Houston Alamos?

 

The Alamo took place in San Antonio I think. If a regional name is in order then it might work, but San Antonio is a few hours from Houston.

 

Being a Houstonian, but a Manchester United fan, I am quite excited. . . Hopefully United will roll around on a American Tour to Houston..

I don't see why people want such a "graphic" name.. Toros, Alamos (?), Apollos..

I like Sporting Houston (and it's not like Lisbon is gonna care THAT much), Houston International is an obvious rip of Inter, AC Houston really makes no sense to me. FC Houston is exactly like FC Dallas, and Houston United has no ring to it (Manchester United and DC United really do..).

Real is not reel, its Re'al, so Real (pronounced REEEL) Salt Lake is a terrible name. Real Houston doesn't work either. . .

Rovers and Wanderers might be interesting, but it doesn't roll off the tongue so well. I hope we don't get something cheesy with a cartoon face and all that..

I hope we get some nice colors too, Red, White and Blue, is kinda bleh, and New England's kit is already like that. I am no major MLS buff here, but I like the Red-Black-White strip (but maybe the Chicago Fire have that -- it would make sense .. and I've never seen them play..).

I am really excited to see what they come up with though, either way, I'll support the hell out of them.

 

I like Aftershocks better than any of the other choices! How about Tsunami?

 

Houston Beef Eaters.

 

General Zachary Taylor FC.

It would be nice if they had legit mexican food at the concession. Nothing like killer tacos to down at a game.

 

Well, it is Texas we're talking about here.

 

Why the hell not?

FC Kinky

 

My vote is for either Houston Republic or AC Houston

 

I personally like FC Houston. Who cares Dallas is already FC Dallas. Just add the Eagles to it to make it, FC Houston Eagles.

 

How about Fat City Houston
