    Regardless of the names that have been suggested before, lets throw our ideas against the wall again. We don't have anything else to do and conversation has died around here.

    undertakers....we can carry in a coffin and shout "Bury them, bury them!"

    also, it would give us a reason to carry shovels around to the games.

    tailgates would be "embalming sessions"

    and really, who wants to make an appt to go see the undertaker?


    i'm sure you can see the benefit of using a name such as this.

    the thread starter - i'm not naming names - should be neg-repped out the wazoo for starting yet another team name "discussion".

    who's with me?!

    And I'll second Corey's Philadelphia Athletic suggestion. It's original and classic. I'm surprised that no one else had thought of it. I'm just glad I beat Holroyd to seconding it. :p

    Re: Suggest A Team Name for Philadelphia MLS

    ... after smashing my ideas, which are unfortunately in my head, against the wall - as ordered by fearless leader...
    Philadelphia Colonials
    Philadelphia Justice
    Philadelphia United (yes, that's it... clear, direct challenge to dc's false monopoly on unity... don't you like it more now? ... also, Philly is a big region, and the team is playing outside the city proper, so unity would be a good thing to stress, and a good place to start is the name)
    Philadelphia Tide
    Philadelphia Marines
    Philadelphia Fanatics
    Philadelphia Thrilla Gorillaz
    ... ok, getting some ice for my head now...

    EDIT:
    Sidenote: I'm willing to bet almost everyone who is a fan of "Philadelphia Union" deep down likes Philadelphia United, but is just worried it sounds either too European or too much like posing in general and wants to add some originality. My difference of opinion is that I regard that as simply trying too hard, despite it being a noble effort. Go with what works, go with the soccer naming tradition (arguably an asset to the sport), and go with Philadelphia United.

    BTW--it's trademark infringement, not copyright.

    If we're actually going to be this silly about it, we should play up that our most famous hero athlete is from a frakkin movie and simply call ourselves The Philadelphia Stallions.



    ugh. i hate trademarks.
