Charlotte NC MLS team

[Ja Rhule]

Pretty amazing that we are getting a team with an absolute failed showing few years ago.  I remember looking outside my work window and seeing a crowd of 25 people in 4th ward park showing their support for MLS team.  Tepper is the only reason we got the team.  I’m excited and will look to get season tickets.

I think it will shock a lot of people.

I'd like to see them stick with the Charlotte Independence name. 

Not sure if that's possible given the USL team but it would make sense and is actually a pretty awesome name in my opinion.

They would need to buy the right but it’s possibly.

Just saw an article with Tepper filing these as potential names.  I personally hope they keep it simple as Charlotte FC or Charlotte Crown FC

Charlotte FC, Charlotte Crown FC, Charlotte Fortune FC, Charlotte Monarchs FC, Charlotte Athletic FC, Charlotte Town FC, Carolina Gliders FC and All Carolina FC.

So much salt from the Raleigh fans. And I get it. They had the most sincere pumpkin patch.  But we had a billionaire owner, and a finalized stadium plan. They had neither.

Raleigh really wanted MLS team...  oh well.

Its Charlotte Town FBC

Charlotte Town FC sounds good, it has the classic heritage feel of some of the old school English clubs like Swindon Town

Hmm ‘Town’ to me always has tin-pot connotations to it - people connect it with a small team.

FC United Carolina?

AFC Charlotte?

the original name of Charlotte was Charlotte Town in 1760-whatever when it was first incorporated though, so i think its pretty cool
