    I was wondering (and am sorry if this has been brought up before) if RSL has an unofficial nickname (ie. Man U Red Devils, Arsenal Gunners, etc)?

    Just curious...I heard someone on a different thread suggest the Lions.....sound like a good one to me.

    Umm.. pretty much RSL is the only one really used. RSL wants to use the Lion as the focus of their mascot and royal heritage or something.

    I don't think its caught on.

    I think the only nickname that that I have seen show up on MLS' website in an article was "Monarchs". Although that was during the team's first year and it didn't catch on.

    Since then no other nickname has come around, except maybe "Losers".

    The S is for super
    The U is for unique
    The P is for perfection, and you know that we are freaks.
    The E is for exotic, and
    The R is for Raps
    So tell those nosy people just to stay the hell back.

    I second this one! Let's get it in the lexicon.

    Too bad I no longer have a rep button.

    I think that Lions makes a lot of sense and since RSL has such a bad connotation (see the above nicknames) maybe it's time to get a better one.

    Lions would be better if the team played like them, but you take what you can get.

    And what would you choose if Lion doesn't work for you?

    (And for the record, I have started referring to RSL as Lions in other threads.)

    Come on, let's think of something a bit more regional to SLC/Utah (try to avoid references to the dominate religion).

    How 'bout,

    The Brine Shrimp
    The "Oh-My-Gosh"ers
    The No-Beer-Sales-on-Sunday-in-Utah-County Boys
    The Mormon Crickets
    The Mormon Bombers (another name for the state bird)
    The Anti-Larry-Jazz Mob

    and my favorite,

    The Green Jello Force
