Personally, my vote goes to Charlotte Crown FC though!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastsider 776 Report post Posted April 17, 2020 With the lack of info and the fact the the MLS season has now been pushed back until June at the earliest, I'm beginning to wonder if the expansion season for Charlotte and Austin is pushed until 2022 and they just bring in all 4 remaining teams at the same time.

I think this pandemic actually makes the league want Charlotte and Austin ASAP. One of the Sounders' owners was talking the other day about how a lost season could cost the league hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, and if that's the case then I'd imagine they'd want those new franchise fees like yesterday. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CltFlyer 343 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Obviously nothing is official, but this seems like it could be the real thing. I like the touches with 1768 being when Charlotte was incorporated as a city, and the Latin phrase "ubi concordia ibi victoria" which translates to "Where there is unity, there is victory" Edited May 11, 2020 by CltFlyer 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarhoosier 5730 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Latin offers concision. The semiotics of Latin provides far more distance from the sense of any phrase which is supposed to emphasize support for the team and spectators/fans. In this case it fails to communicate effectively on several levels. I think it is another example of following premier league club practice which goes to the 19th century. Mimicking English football is a lamentable fashion here in the U. S. The scarf thing, mottoes and logos, F. C. designations and more. These are imports and inauthentic to the field (pitch). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlotte Town FC sounds so small-town-ish. Just my humble opinion though.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlotte Town makes me think its a team based in Charlottetown, PEI in Canada. Charlotte Royal makes sense with the practice of Real in Europe, I'd even go for Royal Charlotte (à la Real Madrid).

cha 1074 Report post Posted May 13, 2020 I agree with going the Royal route. Charlotte Town... that's just another way to exacerbate the odd confusion people have between Charlotte and Charleston. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cltheel.sdl 196 Report post Posted May 13, 2020 Agreed - Charlotte Town is a brutal name. The branding guys tried too hard on this one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastsider 776 Report post Posted May 13, 2020 Charlotte Town was the original name of the settlement that later became Charlotte, I dig the name, although Royal Charlotte would be my 1st choice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be true, but no one else knows that and we are just going to get confused with Charleston or Charlottetown, PEI. :/ Just confusing for the lay person.

dylansukkert 884 Report post Posted May 14, 2020 Crazy that we still do not have a name, colors, or any branding yet. Seems like they could do some kind of online reveal. If the 2021 season starts on time we are around 6 months from our first game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 2021 season will start in March 2021...but still, you're correct that most teams have unveiled branding within 10 months of playing their first game. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KJHburg 71139 Report post Posted May 17, 2020 So Nashville and Charlotte will debut the same year in 2021 since no games were played or going to be played this year is that correct? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Latest word is they're trying to get some kind of season, whether it's a mini-tournament or something, but teams did already play two or three games before the shutdown hit. So Nashville has debuted, technically. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hushpuppy321 1794 Report post Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Am I the only one here that actually like the logo and name Charlotte Town FC? I understand Crown & Royal have some weight but i just don’t dig the names. Both don’t sound tough enough? CT Fight Futbol Club sounds scrappy...

Of the trademarked names I liked that one and Charlotte Royal the best. Honestly naming the team is a thankless job. Half the critics would hate it if it were Charlotte Town or Charlotte FC for trying to be a European copy. If you do Charlotte Crown or Charlotte Royal the team gets complaints that they're stuck in the MLS 1.0 mindset (mascot-ish name, playing in an NFL stadium).. Just have to nail the branding and crest regardless of name. In the end a more organic nickname will develop anyways from the community like 5-stripes for Atlanta, which is cringeworthy but hey it works for them. Spurs for Tottenham, Red Devils Man Utd, Hornets for Watford etc.. Edited May 19, 2020 by SouthEndCLT811 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
