People are going to be really confused when I tell them that NSC stands for "Northstar Soccer Club", so the team name is really "Northstar Soccer Club Minnesota Stars".

I think the beer garden inhabitants should become known as the No Self Control Stars. It brings to mind such quality shows as Jersey Shore, &c.

Really?

Holy cow.

What, exactly, is it you like about soccer again?


That was sarcasm. Read his subsequent post.

By the way nordmann, it looks like we both have to start making liberal use of <sarcasm/> tags.

Well, you could tell her that the team is called NSC Minnesota Stars. It is a soccer team run by the NSC so I am not sure you should presuppose that everyone finds it confusing. I do not. Sorry.

Again I'll repeat that you might be overreacting, on the negative side. Cheer up a little. We have a team.

I wish someone would label my posts with <sarcasm/> tags. Sometimes I don't know if I'm serious or not.

Andy:
1. I said I liked "Stars".
2. The Wild logo is freaking brilliant.
3. Taking the Arsenal crest shape, making the top come to a higher point, putting a sloppy gradient in it, then writing some generic fonts over the top of a generic star is not good design.

Rook:
Yeah, you got me.

All:
I'm sorry that I'm not all sunshine and puppy dogs.

Whoever posted the Central Coast blue/yellow jerseys:
Oh, hells yeah. Love the yellow stripes framing on that blue kit. I might add yellow cuffs to the sleeves and maybe some thick-hooped socks.
