They Really Burned the Midnight Oil ...
Months of planning and consulting and meetings ... and all MLS Seattle could come up with were Seattle FC, Seattle Republic, or Seattle Alliance?
That's all we get to vote on?
What, no Seattle Coffee or Seattle Software?
I do not believe it is necessary to hold on to the Sounders name forever, and really was not in favor of bringing the name back in 1994 ...
We had Seattle Sounders from 74-83 ...
We had FC Seattle from 84-90ish ...
We got Seattle Sounders back in 94 through this season ...
Are we really supposed to get excited about inverting FC Seattle to Seattle FC?
Are we really supposed to consider Seattle Republic to be an actually possible team name?
Seattle Alliance sounds like a youth select team name ...
I had heard Seattle International as a rumor; and that would be a light year improvement over the three options they burned the midnight oil to come up with ...
Any of these three names will simply lead to fans continuing to call the team the Sounders and continuing Sounders chants at games.
Bottom line is that if the three options discussed here are really the choices we are not being provided with viable options to choose from.
Just leaving the team named MLS Seattle makes more sense.
