LETS RENAME US REAL MINNEAPOLIS

REAL MINNEAPOLIS STARRY EYED WILDCATS FC

C'mon people.

Minnesota Stars is the name
Nessie is the mascot
Dark Clouds are the supporters
Gary the Cat is the patron saint
THIS IS WHO WE ARE!

True. I am not now and have never been a fan of the name but it would be the definition of counterproductive to change the name now.

And I can always comfort myself with the fact that it could be much, much worse. Real Salt Lake. Sporting Kansas City.

REAL(LY) SPORTING MINNESOTA

Joe Dorn's tattoo did not have "NSC" on it.

... Locationless Metrostars (MLS '97-06), S*nderland (EPL), Austin Aztex (USSF Div. 2), KC Wiz (MLS '96), San Jose Clash (MLS 96-99), Seattle Alliance (MLS Proposed), Seattle Republic (MLS Proposed), Toronto Raptors (NBA), Colorado Caribou (NASL 1.0), Cleveland Stokers (NASL 1.0), Jacksonville Tea Men (NASL 1.0), Montreal Manic (NASL 1.0), San Diego Sockers (NASL 1.0), Memphis Maniax (XFL), Omaha Beef (AHL), Anaheim Ducks (NHL)

Yeah, definitely could be worse.

Except for Manchester City's the 3 stars have no meaning. It is purely for design. They really should go back to the orginal one.

I agree about the name change. I wasn't and still am not a fan of the name but to change it now would be a mistake.

So I should stop sending letters asking them to rename the club Dynamo Shaktar Sparta Hapoel Real Sporting Kaiser Minneapolis City United Wanderers 04?

I feel like I was on the verge of making them cave.

Dropping NSC from the name is going to add one sentence of explanation to strangers about why we have Nessie on our shirts, but I'm fine with that.

People don't get the Nessie even with NSC there.

(This is in no way saying we get rid of Nessie. NESSIE 4EVA, Y0.)
