I think the team nickname should be "The Wingers". Here is why.

    Obviously, the crest has an angel's wings and looks sharp.

    However, most people want to avoid the name angels (which would be problematic anyway) because it's not "tough enough" and is used officially by the baseball team.

    No problem.

    Why not The Wingers?

    "In soccer (football), a winger is an attacking midfielder in a wide position. Wingers are usually players of great pace or dribbling ability so as to provide cut-backs or crosses from which strikers can score. Their main function is to support attack from the wings."


    It would symbolize the emphasis on attacking soccer, embodying the spirit of "The Beautiful Game".

    Now, you wingers... go out and trounce the Galaxy!

    Your stadium is going to be magnificent!!!

    Well done!

    As long as it isn't Swingers you'll be fine.

    too close to "wankers". makes it too easy for rival fans.
