some of the releases say they plan to have more in the future. It doesn't really make much sense unless they're using it as a backdoor path to slowly create additional divisions below MLS within the MLS structure (which is probably a good idea)
Supposedly the hope is that some of the teams in the MLS Nexxxxxxt academy league will take the step up and create pro teams for developing players in the next few years. That makes sense because that fact that the ex-Rhinos are the only non-MLS organization fielding a team in year one tells me that other senior-level independents aren't interested.

They could've at least had the decency to keep the Rhinos name!

No bullshit: they dropped the Rhinos name because they wanted to go City Name FC in order to "re-launch ourselves as a globally-oriented brand in football" or something like that.

Interesting. That kind of looks more like mls going after college soccer's territory in effect than usl. Which, please, by all means.

Also there is a whole rabbit hole of hilarity with Rochester and Jamie Vardy being co-owner. Supposedly they're making a documentary about it for some reason.

Also, apparently Crew 2 will play at historic crew stadium, which is kind of cool to think about in the scheme of us soccer history.

Yeah. I mean the fact that they didn't poach any USL2 orgs or other semi-pro teams that were allegedly looking to move up makes me think that it's both a closed NEXXXXXXT ecosystem and that a lot of the others really don't want to play at MLS B/C teams in front of their families, friends, and some drunken diehards.

As twitter noticed, it's the arsenal kit with the colors swapped.

I guess Charlotte was always gonna be light blue. Whatever, fine
