No, they'll have earned the right to be. By 2099 no one will give a damn. No name is considered stupid once it has 100 years of history behind it. But I have to wonder how the Chivas USA name survives 100 years when they're pretty much just coasting right now. ------RM
Aztecs would be the winning move to balance out the Cosmos entry in NYC. One of these is better than the other.... 2013 derbies: or
I think a San Diego team should be called Sockers based on the fact that they won 11 championships (even though it's indoor soccer, but hey it's still success!) Besides most San Diego natives know the Sockers name because of their success in the 80's and 90's.
Plus the name alone will cause Eurosnobs everywhere to go completely insane, unless, of course, they rebrand to San Diego Sockers FC. Edit: ok I really want a tshirt that says "San Diego Sockers FC"
I think that would be an awesome name. We'd also accept: AC Real Sporting San Diego Sockers United FC.
