    ‘Houston Oilers’ is available. Just sayin’.
    In all seriousness, would love to see all the EuroPoser 1.0 names go bye-bye. I’ll take almost anything over Dynamo or Real or Sporting or another City or United.
    But keep the colors, Houston.

    Keep the name and colors.

    Change the crest, it looks dated.

    Other Houston sports teams have star or space shaped themes, so I could see having a star shaped crest or something space related.

    Funnily enough, the original Houston 1836 crest was star shaped, more like a Sheriff's star.

    Houston Petroleum Industry Workers?
    Houston Oil Riggers?
    Houston Fossil Fuelers? (Hey! Houston Fuelers wouldn't be the worst name ever, as far as traditional American sports team names go!)
    Houston Climate Changers?
    Houston Roughnecks?


    Or for something less oil industry-y:
    Houston Air-conditioned Drives to the Mailbox? (or, to be hip make it singular: Houston Air-conditioned Drive to the Mailbox, shortened colloquially to just "Houston Drive")

    These things can happen when you rip your championship-caliber team out of another city instead of building it from scratch.

    You mean "six trips to the MLS playoffs in its first seven seasons of existence, including four MLS Cup Championship appearances and the aforementioned league titles"?

    Anyway, they sold out every match for about 6 seasons in the early 20-teens. Then they blew it.

    In other words, AEG knows how to put butts in seats, and Gabriel Brener's crew doesn't.

    I just saw it and I got a charge out of it.

    If this happens, they should sign Lewandowski. He is real Power Pole.
    It would be electrifying!
    He would light up the goal.


    You mods, always pulling the plug on our puns.

    All considering, you'd think the galaxy would draw more, with the best owner, most titles, and huge market.
