    Like the logo and colors, but really hate the name.

  2. chadinho says

    the “civil” union?

    It seems no matter what they do with the name people hate it. They had a poll including Philly FC, SC, AC and some others, and they were all lampooned. Union is as good as anything else I suppose.

    I’d be cool with the name if DC wasn’t there first. Union vs. United is going to look freakin’ stupid to outsiders.

    who did the market research on this one?

    PU? PU? something stinks!

    the logo is pretty sweet. union is weak, though…what do the sons of ben think?
    also: very apt atmosphere song. summa time!

    The name “Union” works really nice when you consider Ben himself…

  8. C. says

    Awesome crest. The name is “eh”.

    KK, good point. Gonna have lots of groan-inducing puns by other supporters. FWIW, “U P” isn’t much better. Still like the name though.
