Slog - Comments on Fever Pitch http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/fever_pitch Seattle's new MLS team has already sold more than 3,000 season ticket memberships. "The phones have been ringing off the hook," minority owner-general manager Adrian Hanauer said in a statement released by the Seahawks, who are providing operations support for the soccer team. "We are absolutely thrilled and excited with the response. There is already great response, and we have just begun." As for our new team's name, though I like the snowball's-chance-in-hell idea of the Seattle Green River Killers (pitched by a reader in this thread), my vote has to go for keeping the Seattle Sounders....

It would be sweet to have them be the Seattle Green River Killers, but Seattle Sounders should be their name.

We need to do a team song involving Murdering the opposing team on the Green River, though.

What about team colors? Green and what? What is easiest to clean blood stains off of?

The Seattle Sounders is a crap name. The MLS is under the Concacaf federation, we should have a suitable name.

F.C. Seattle Armada or some tough sounding nautical nonsense like that would be awesome.

And no teal in the goddamned uniform! If I have to look menacing to Chivas fans I don't want to look like Algae Smurf.

Or maybe just green and black with a bloody knife logo

They could always call them the Storm if they play like a bunch a white girls.

I agree with comment #2. We need something with some flava. And no tourquois.

We call the team Seattle Sounders but we choose team colors that are Green and Black with a stripe of red blood drops off a bloody knife logo.

I like Lahar, but most people don't know what it is, sadly.

Dark blue tops for away. a tiny crest for a logo. No "SEATTLE" screaming across the front. And absolutely no swoopy stuff or dot patterns or color fades or computer typography. Basically Tottenham Hotspur 1961.

Of course it won't have a big "SEATTLE" on the front. If it's gonna be at all European like, it has to have a big advertisement across the chest.

How about an Emerald and Black vertical stripes and a crest like a spin on Real Madrid?

Emerald Seattle F.C.?

Not looking forward to the Boeing, Tully's, Starbucks, Safeco, Qwest or Taco Time logo on the front. Can we get a corporate sponsor like Rainier or something? Manny's?

It's soccer, nothing violent about it, except for the girly shin kicking. Heck, the fans are more violent than the players. That is the European fans are violent, the American fans are too whitebread suburban to be of any threat.

Thanks for the van rides to practice mom!
