Clubs give themselves their own nicknames in MLS? The MLS is fake (and gay) as hell.

Only two non-club name nicknames are any good, the Goonies (for San Jose) and the Hoops (for Dallas). The rest are colors or old official names for the teams.

Fans voted on TFC being the Reds. Everyone calls them TFC anyway I think.

DC is United or DCU. Only the team calls them the Black and Red, because there ain't much red in that shirt.

They also used to have a set of three horizontal stripes across the shirt, which was actually fairly unique until of course they had to get rid of it so they could slap a big Volkswagen logo across the front of the shirt.

No you see if it rips off European naming conventions in anyway then it's stupid, fake, and trying to "invent history" but if it's something like the Colorado Rapids it's cartoonish and "mickey mouse league" stuff. Maybe someday the MLS will name a team that hits the non-existent middle ground that placates annoying Europeans who don't care about the product anyways.

Hell, you spelled it right.

Here's a story about a crest that's probably going to change:

http://www.just-football.com/2014/12/a-club-without-a-name-steaua-bucharest-name-stripped/

Steaua Bucharest has lost the right to call themselves that and are being forced to remove the word "steaua" (star) and the actual red star in their logo because the Romanian Army owns the brand according to a recent court ruling. You have to wonder what monetary gain the Army will be getting from this.

Toronto FC is cool and good especially compared to stupid names like Real Salt Lake or Los Angeles Galaxy or Central Coast Mariners or Brisbane Roar, imo.

Are they still able to call themselves Steaua Bucharest? Because that's a recognisable name across the world imo (at least by football fans), even if the crest probably isn't.

From what I've read they got an injunction to call themselves Steaua in European competition, but in the Romanian league they've had to tape over their crest on the shirts, the PA announcer has called them "the home team" or "the champions of Romania" during games, and so forth.
