Really?
That’s supposed to be the name of our new MLS team in Seattle?
I was reserved to living with Seattle FC or even Emerald City FC, but I was really hoping they’d stay with Sounders.
Emerald City Greens?
Eat your greens.
UPDATE: I’m not going to say its growing on me, but my instant reaction is mellowing.
Here’s the discussion over at GS, which is less mellow.
I know everybody is in love with the Sounders moniker. But I must admit I have hated it from the beginning. What the hell exactly is a sounder anyway? Someone who lives near a sound. How freaking outside the box is that? I’ve been permanently damaged and I feel dirty and violated having to admit my home town side is called the Sounders. I’ll refrain from talking about how stupid the nickname the Seattle Storm is for now.
I like the Emerald City FC better.
