I’m still hoping on Carolina Crown FC, but would still be happy with Charlotte Athletic FC. Either way, it’s going to be a major disappointment if they come out, after pushing it back a month, and say, okay, it’s just Charlotte FC.
Charlotte Agenda is reporting that the name, colors, and branding of the region's new Major League Soccer team will be released "[a]round the third week of July". https://www.charlotteagenda.com/223...season-next-spring-despite-pandemic-setbacks/
What do you see? So far, a partial crown, a partial circle, purple and teal and @panthers blue paint, and mint and gold paint cans seem to be the highlights. Well played, @CharlotteMLS .
I think we all thought All Carolina FC was weird. I bet Gliders will be the next cut. Followed by Monarchs. Charlotte Town FC has a legitimate shot but it is also kind of weird too, in my opinion, although I know it has a niche following. To me, it’s getting too cute. Despite the history, Charlotte isn’t a town, nor is that what the club is trying to sell. I’m praying they don’t go with Charlotte FC. That’s such a cop out decision after all this. Obviously, I know there’s a section of fans who clamor to have all teams have no names, but why not just start with that if that’s the intention all along? Personally, I believe it would be the worst PR move they could make. Thus, I believe it should come down to Charlotte Crown FC vs Charlotte Athletic FC. Either of those would be okay enough to not upset the fan base - even if it’s not a first choice. There’s not another Athletic, and that satiates the Euro-style crowd, without sounding like a rip off that upsets the more pro-American style crowd. Honestly, I could see a hybrid of the branding with a crown on the crest and the club called Charlotte Athletic FC. My money is on that. That said, I still love and hope for Charlotte Crown FC. It’s a classy, unique, and relevant name that everyone can be proud of.
Yes, i think you are right. Shame Athletic was growing on me. Was seeing myself refer to the team as Athletico Charlotte to my mates.
I suspect the crown will be on top of the badge and will have lightin bolts to pay homage to the carolina lightnin' Finally, lets get this over and done with and move on
Today is the day. Looking forward to the announcement. I am ok with Charlotte FC. I like the logo above that was suggested. Keep the name simple and incorporate the queen city into the logo. Let's do this.
I’m betting it’s Charlotte FC. It’s sort of a Murphy’s Law - what will be the worst name possible, will be the name of the team. I mean, after all this time, for them to turn around and say, we’re going with no name, because we want the fans to organically come up with a nickname, I’m going to think they’re a bunch of dorks. Honestly, if they wanted Charlotte FC, they should have just picked it from the announcement. That said, it’ll be what will be. People will move on from the name and focus on the game soon enough.
I do like the CLT motif - that's cool. The badge is so bland. Just sent it to all my friends and they feel the same way.
Well, there it is... the most boring, uninspiring name they could pick. Cool crest. I’ve been tempted to let Charlotte become my #1 club in MLS (considering I live in Greenville), but I don’t see based off this why I should. Let’s hope for more in the future.
