Even the Philadelphia Sons of Ben would be something different. (the Philadelphia SOBs) Does anyone know of a site to submit name ideas? I think the Philadelphia Liberty would be a good name.

Real Salt Lake, FC Dallas, DC United those are great! Crew, Crapids, Galaxy, Rev's,and Fire are to NFL/NHL sounding. So Philadelphia Atethlics, AC Philadelphia, those are great idea's. 1776 is cool, but it is to close to the 76ers. I wish Houston would have stuck with Houston 1846. So how about this- Seattle (yr founded?), and in keeping with the patriotic/historical city Philly Arsenal? Well, maybe not. But I hope both teams really consider it as a world sport, and stay with the more traditional style of soccer names. Would you all agree?

And for fun- since we are Philly after all... Instead of Philadelphia FC... Philadelphia FU A few I thought of when I first heard about this last week:

Philadelphia Founders
Philadelphia Blacksmiths (Back to the city’s industrial days)
Philadelphia 1776 (Also mentioned above; though I wonder how the 76′ers would feel about it?)
And for fun- since we are Philly after all… Instead of Philadelphia FC…

Philadelphia FU

I like that the best out of all of them! I am actually a fan of the Emerald City FC but I like the Greens as their nick name. Its like the blues and the Reds. As long as u keep the greens as the nick name it will be sweet. Im just glad we got the color green in the MLS now!

But, after hearing Philadelphia Athletic, I wouldn't mind that either. Philly FC is just a tongue-twister, and let's not have any "Americanized" names like the Liberty or CONSTRUCTION?? (I saw it on Ives, i think). I like Philly United. But, after hearing Philadelphia Athletic, I wouldn’t mind that either.

I think Philadelphia Independence is a good name too, but we do already have the Revolution. Of the three you mentioned I like AC Philadelphia the best.
