Houston team name: the new version

Not to burst any bubbles, but I think there's already a fairly major team in Texas named the Rangers. I know that Arlington and Houston are pretty far away from each other, but...

Other:

Houston Mercury
SC Houston (I like the subtlety of Space City as well as the anti-eurosnob/FC Dallas rivalry in the name)

and just to be silly:
Houston Clash
Houston (AEG's) Hobby

 

Y'know, the geeky way to handle all this is to start testing domain name ownership of various names. See which ones MLS and/or AEG has purchased. Not something I'm very good at, but I know for sure there's some BS posters that have been masters at this sort of sleuthing.

 

El Jefe, Buzz and myself did that on day one. Nothing as of yet.

 

Re: Other sports team names from Houston

Any of them registered to anyone that might be an AEG employee?

 

Re: Other sports team names from Houston

I do not have a coy of the AEG payroll, but that is perfectly possible.

 

Interesting. Wonder if they've gotten tired of us figuring those things out. I have a hard time believing they're really waiting for the fans vote.

 

I have never believed that from any pro-sports franchise in the past. Too much at stake, not to mention time constraints than to wait for the unwashed masses to vote; thought it generates some sort of buzz in the soccer community... I don not give a chit one way or another... FCD is gonna beat those infidels to a pulp. Houston and its MLS franchise stink !

 

Your starting to sound like the enemy...better watch your back, the NSA is watching!

 

Houston Odyssey

 

Maybe this club is completing its tumultuous journey!



Not oly that but there is a good link to one of the League's sponsors

and this could be their badge


All kidding aside, I like this suggestion.

 

As long as the refs are always Homers.

 

*rimshot*

Or if the PA announcer is Gretchen Helfrich (an even more obscure reference).

 

I like Lone Star Houston. Has that Red Star Belgrade ring to it. Rolls off the tongue easily and feels "soccer specific."

Good luck Houston Clash

 

Lone Star Houston can then be easily given a nickname like the Eagles Hurricanes, or whatever people want to call them.

Good Names so far:
Lone Star Houston
Houston Soccer Club
Houston Athletic Club
Houston United

whatelse am I missing?

 

Bay Area Soccer Team and Recreational Developement Side
(B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S)

 

So. When are we going to get the Mods to work on these posts.

 

Rustlers

 

The "Clash" name is holy, and should not be used for Houston, even in a joke.

 

The colors would be cool if they were the old NFL Oilers colors, Light Blue Navy, White and Red.

I like

Sporting Houston
Houston Landers - (moon landing)
Houston Rovers - (mars rovers)
ASC Houston
Houston Apollos
Houston Floods - (as in chicago fire)
Houston County (as in Harris County)
Houston City (as in Man City)

I remember a couple of things from growing up in houston: here they are in no particular order:
rain, heat , flooding, rodeos, astroworld, the astrodome, open spaces, lizards, cowboy boots, mechanical bulls, tornadoes, corn dogs, and the Houston Oilers. Back in the day, we sang a song at school that went love love you blue ( to a beatles tune) and this was before we sang the star spangled banner every morning. Hardcore oilers fanatacism, I've never seen anything like it.


I think Rangers is out of the question with there being 2 teams which are already Rangers (Texas, New York) not counting the Scottish side.

 

You don't even know what "trolling" means in netspeak?

What instance did I "troll" in the Houston forum?


tsk. tsk. tsk.

You get no break. Stop Trolling.

 

Not only does she offer me a recipe for concrete shoes, she sends me a pink nipple! Tedious -- but what else to expect from a PC/DC flower lady?
