The Philadelphia Cosmos?

why not ? you already have a fake Real

 

If the name would rather be somewhere else the NY people should just accept that and move on.

 

I smell publicity stunt!

 

Dear god just let the Cosmos name die in peace.


We really want the "Galaxy" to take on the "Cosmos"? Ugh. One stellar name is fine. Two, and the jokes start flying.

 

Hope Nick has saved his pennies to pay off Pepe, cause he will never allow it unless he gets a few million and even then he may not allow Philly to have it. He holds on to all those rights like an old lady holds on to knick knacks and pennies.

Last year Shep Messing said that Red Bulls were in negotiations with Pepe to buy the name. It may be that his nearly 15 year strategy to hold out for his price may pay off after all. Cosmos in Philly? Doesn't work.

 

that would be pretty funny. Not my first choice for a name, but it would piss off New Yorkers.

 

I'd cry if they did it. Tears of mother********ing joy.

 

My first thought was that Cosmos doesn't fit or belong on a Philly team. Then I read this post:

Anything to piss off those old Cosmos fanboys is a good thing in my book.

 

I vote for the Philadelphia Star Cluster F**kers FC...I know it's along name but it all works out when they play the Galaxy.

 

Holy Vomiting Buddha that's horrible at first glance. Almost as bad on second glance.

 

As someone who proudly wore a NY Cosmos iron-on in the fourth grade, I think this is the most awesomest thing EVER.

 

I could go on a few paragraph rant about trademark law to prove you wrong, but i don't really have the time. So i am just gonna say you are very likely wrong.

 

Whaaaaaat?

 

uck

 

Agreed.

 

Just for fun, Here are a few more of the top of my head:

NY Jets
Winnapeg Jets (Defunct NHL and WHA Team)

Texas Rangers
NY Rangers

LA Kings
Kansas City/Omaha Kings moved to Sacramento

Detroit Express (Defunct NASL Team)
LA Express (Defunct USFL Team)

Portland Storm (Defunct WFL Team)
Seattle Storm (WNBA)

St. Louis Cardinals (MLB)
St. Louis Cardinals moved Arizona

BC Lions (CFL)
Detroit Lions

Tenesee Titans
NY Titans became the NY Jets

Dallas Texans (AFL) became the Houston Oilers
Houston Texans

Michigan Panthers (Defunct USFL Team)
Florida Panthers
Caralina Panthers

Washington Senators (MLB) became Texas Rangers
Ottawa Senators (NHL)

 

I dunno. I wonder how many.

I, for one, could care less about reviving the Cosmos. I respect the heritage, but the name is bad and, unless someone can come up with a great design to change my mind, I'd rather let it stay in the past.

When I say 'design', what I mean is something like the Seattle Sounders FC mockups that looked sweet and were on Big Soccer awhile back. I didn't want to keep the name Sounders, but they took it and made it fashionable. Of course, the final design might not do that.

 

That quote is no longer in the article.

 

This would be a horrendous joke in more ways than I can count.

For those of us who loved NASL, this would be an outrage.

Makes as much sense as the Washington Cowboys or the Chicago Packers.

...Now, on the other hand, if it ticks off New Yorkers, then there is the silver lining I'm looking for...
