I personally am totally fine with this brand. A lot say it's a boring name or whatever, but if they had chosen Charlotte Crown or Charlotte Gliders there would be just as much backlash. I like going with a simple name and letting the team build its identity organically.
------------- Well Hartford in USL-C got Athletic... I think Charlotte Athletic would have had a nice roll off the tongue. You could have made an argument for AC Charlotte.. since the owner does have 2 sports teams of different types. Or am I mixing up what is done elsewhere
they have not updated it is still under Carolinas/Candidate Cities. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forums/carolinas.1500/
