    No. If MLSE is going to adopt a name for their new soccer team that has synergy with one of their other franchises, they ought to tie-in to the Raptors' kid-friendly identity package.

    Torontosaurus Rex SC, anyone?

    :p

    Wait. I have another one. In the spirit of recent corporate buyouts of other MLS clubs, I present you with:

    The Toronto Molsons

    So maybe this is another poll where MLS lets everyone vote then use the name they have already decided on and registered despite the vote...;)

    What name would be the most insensitive... Toronto Quebecois? Toronto Queenservants?

    I wrote in Toronto Internationals as well, and that was BEFORE I read through this thread. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

    I really didn't like any of the pre-selected choices that are on there.

    I dont know why we'd vote on this since we all know they'll just get bought and the team will be the Toronto Molson Ice

    Toronto Northmen FC. I like that one, I'm apparently the first as well.
    They're in Toronto, which is in the North, they're also men, and its a football club. Most obvious choice.

    Indeed. That's what I said earlier. :) Seriously, we might expect more of these sort of arrangements.

    Toronto is only in the north if you're in the United States. If you're in Canada, they're in the south. In fact they're south of Portland, Ore, Minneapolis, etc. So Northmen, much like Internationals makes more sense if you're an American than it does from a Canadian perspective.

    cheers,

    No, that could never happen. Just ask the supporters of the Salt Lake Highlanders. :D

    Not an option, but I'll weigh in with the Toronto Tartans. They could wear plaid black, gold, and gray kits with white lettering--lots of folks with Scottish descent in Canada.
