FC Minnesota is the most professional sounding name by a long shot. Classy and simple.

Understood. Working in advertising I definitely understand it takes some time for Trademark lawyers to do their thing.

Thanks I must have overlooked that.

As it states on the above link at the NSC’s website: “Voting will be open from January 12 to January 26, 2010″

No date on when the name will be chosen. There are other issues involved with naming the team and they will have to make sure they can get the rights or afford the rights.

Does anyone know when the voting ends and NSC plans on revealing the name?

I’d like something with a fun mascot, Yeti FC.

Do the write-ins even have a chance?

Ben makes a great point. I do beleive that the legal name of the MN Twins is “Minnesota Twins Baseball Club.” I think the Vikings are also legally known as the “Minnesota Vkings Football Club.”

Bring on the FC Minnesota! However, don’t you then need a mascot? How about the “Flying Hotdogs!”

Let’s at least get a decent enough name so that we move up to MLS we don’t have to change.

NSC will not be owning the MLS team so it would be a bad idea to name our team that.

Just call it something generic. “Minnesota FC” does just fine. Why are you guys scared of putting “FC” behind it. Many sports teams do this…. “Minnesota Twins baseball club”

I love it when the conversation can be so civil and convincing.

You got me Tom. I sat for about five minutes to come up with an excuse why I completely forgot about this level, but I got nothing.
