Time To Give Seattle A Name

my preferences are:<br />
<br />
1. Seattle FC.<br />
<br />
2. Seattle Sounders

Oh, come on. Just go whole hog–you know that you (and the nefarious nabobs at MLS HQ) want to. May I present…<br />
<br />
FC Emerald City Sounders Albion 1974<br />
<br />
Ahhhh, I love the smell of Eurosnobbery in the morning.<br />
<br />
Joking aside, I'll go for Seattle Sounders '74. Nice alliteration and it plays the history card–a reasonable move for a young league looking to build some tradition.

Lets hear it for your 2008 Seattle Salmon Kings!

i kind of dig &quot;emerald city&quot;. emerald city <br />
sounders. <br />
<br />
what about &quot;the roasters&quot;? as in coffee bean <br />
roasting?<br />
<br />
1. emerald city<br />
2. e.c. sounders<br />
3. the roasters<br />
4. seattle fc (really, this is the best bet with <br />
emerald city or roasters or sounders being the <br />
nickname)

Okay, look at this from a money standpoint. For an expansion team to be successful, you have to have a look that is going to get fans in the door for starters. You have the Space Needle in Seattle. Something like<br />
<br />
The Seattle Comets<br />
<br />
A fiery soccer ball with a tail like a comet shooting past the Space Needle is something that might have a good kick to it and give the team the future it much needs.
