    Nat'l Team:
    United States
    Liverpool and Celtic are "You'll Never Walk Alone"
    Aston Villa is "Prepared"
    Blackburn has "Arte et Labore"

    what, if any, motto should our team have?


    The one idea I will put forth now is

    "Ad Augusta per Angusta" - To High Places by Narrow Roads

    Wasn't that an Abraham Lincoln quote? How is that not DC's? Although, as we would be playing in the land of Lincoln......'

    I don't have a phrase yet, but something along the lines of playing the game hard and playing it right. But not whatever the Crew has. "The hardest working team in sports" or something. Not so good.

    Im sorry I thought the teams name might be UNITED, they might play in Illinois but they are using the name ST. LOUIS, which is a part of Missouri.

    Close, but no cigar.

    It was Aesop - Patrick Henry used it also - just before he died.

    The only quote I can think of regarding "uniting" from Lincoln is "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

    lame

    Grammatically incorrect; Conditionnel should be used with Vouloir. Voudriez-vous coucher avec moi, etc., and even then it doesn't really make sense.

    point is, I guess with our French history and all that, I think we should go french on the badge with our motto.

    There was alot of French Canadians that settled here and people directly from France. A motto in French would pay tribute to this and look good. Some mottos are in Latin or Gaelic.

    I'm not sure on the number, but I suggest it for the purpose of our history. Laclede, King Louis, etc.

    Thanks, (Greatx4) Grandpa!

    But seriously, a few ideas (sorry if you already posted it or if the French is incorrect, I'm getting this from Babelfish):

    Never afraid: Jamais effrayé
    Onward to victory: En avant à la victoire
    The people's team: L'équipe des personnes
    No surrender: aucune reddition

    I don't know if they're gold or not. I'm just trying to do something to take my mind off my friend stuck in San Diego.

    Ah merde; les sites de translation sont mauvaises.. :rolleyes: Ne pas les utiliser. ;)

    I'm trying to find already-existent French motivational phrases; they're always worded beautifully.

    Lincoln also said, "If you're racist I'll attack you with the North."

    My suggestions...

    1- Victory or Death
    2- The Three Rivers Football Club
    3- The Pride of the West
    4- Above All Else, Football.
    5- Unite. Not Divide.
    6- Unlike Any Other.
    7- We Won The West (a take on "how the west was won")
    8- Dream Forever. Believe Always.
    9- Onward and Upward.

    I realize some of these are corny or stupid. I do really enjoy most of them though.
