Team name and colors will be announced via a webcast this afternoon.

Here's the email that I just received:

NSCtv Webcasting Live Today
Join us at 1:00 pm Central Time for announcement

The National Sports Center will announce the name of Minnesota's new professional soccer team on Friday, February 5. The announcement will be made during a live webcast at 1:00 pm Central Time. Viewers may watch the webcast free of charge by logging on here.

In addition to the name announcement, team officials will unveil the team's logo.

The National Sports Center ran an online fan voting contest that garnered 3,110 votes over a two week period in late January. The contest wrapped up on January 26. Since then, team officials have been busy discussing the most popular names, clearing trademark issues and discussing long-term marketing and branding potential.

Glad to hear that there's a resolution on this, so we can move on to other important questions (like what brand of ketchup will be served in the concession stands?). Reading the tea leaves, the reference to "clearing trademark issues" might be significant.

I'm still hoping that demko's Blaine Cougars suggestion somehow made a late run of write in votes though!

Looking forward to it. Let's start clearing the hurdles and get to the part where they kick the ball!

NSC Minnesota Stars....there you have it folks. Combo of the 2 leading names. I like the colors, and the name isn't bad. How about an Yellow shirt with dark blue shorts...that would look cool.


When can we get new logo window clings? I need to replace my Thunder one.

Funny, the logo looks scrunched vertically because the aspect ratio of the video on the web page is incorrect. And the web page is run by a company called Stretch Internet.
