Name Poll: Plan B, Final Round

Why must a team name of AC equal the euro meaning of Athletic Club which equals multiple sports? Who the hell really cares what AC means in Europe? In this context AC is clearly a reference to Atheltic(s), a popular choice for those of us here that unfortunately is held by a baseball team in Oakland. AC skirts the issue. If you you think AC sucks as a name appendage fine, but to trot out the notion that we're somehow being untrue to the name by only having one sport is just a wee bit anal. I don't mean to be harsh to you but several people now have come here to expain it to us. We know and we don't care.

You support a team named after a Soviet sporting society, do we go on your board and say "you know guys, Dynamo is a good name but to really use it you must all grow Lenin beards and send some of your members to Siberia to work the mines".

Though I guess the Sons of Ben could rightfully use AC as we have both an indoor soccer team and outdoor soccer team. Plus I think we might count as a drinking team, too.

 

Of course, the "AC" in AC Milan does not stand for "Athletic Club" and in fact doesn't imply any sports beyond soccer, so I don't really get your point.

 

There's no entendre, or duplicity of ANY sort, involved w/ calcio.
It has one meaning, and one meaning only: "licentious child molester."
Of course, in Italiano, it means "kick." Il calcio is "soccer," so the "AC" in Milan means "football association", or, in American idiom, Soccer Club, which, of course, is what we will be.

 

We could always go with Φιλαδέλφεια Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων Chester.

 

You read my mind.

 

Look up Olympiacos on Wikipedia and it'll all make sense...

 

Iou!!

 

Naw, that sounds terrible. Φιλαδέλφεια Αθλητικός Όμιλος might be good, though.

 

YUCK!

 

Βιαστές μωρών της Φιλαδέλφειας

 

It's ALL Greek to me!

 

Whoever suggested Philadelphia City SC is a genius. That's good stuff.

 

I dunno. I think it would be an okay name if the team were actually in the city. But since they are gonna play in Chester, I don't think it sounds so good.

 

Philly Independents SC still works for me.
The SoB's can then become The Depends !

 

It seems that the official name has been rehashed a thousand times over, so I won't add my two cents (or even less).

As for nicknames, how about Locomotives which ties back to the Baldwin locomotives when Philadelphia actually produced things; the shortened version "Locos" would be a big draw.

 

stop it.

 

as long as we're not Athletic Supporters

 

They are worn OVER the Depends!

 

Whatever the name I think the nickname should be "The Clockwork Cheesesteak"

 

Sons of Ben have what it takes to put together a great soccer team. Good luck to you!

 

Thanx, Futbolitico.
Did Bolt put you up to this, or just your own cussed orneriness?
