Seattle Sounders. Itβs a USL team for soccer. If you know, you know. If you donβt, just understand that it should be changed and move on

Lmao, how have I never put that one together?
What am I missing?
spoiler
It's a reference to urethral sounding.
Search it at your own risk.
What's the current name?
Seattle Sounders, they're saying they would change that to anything else.
Come on now, you can't leave us hanging! Googling isn't bringing up anything wrong or obscene about it...
You asked. No images here but the thought is awful:
Lol I did ask, damn! Thanks for the link
Jesus. Never put these two together.
Washington RedTails is superior to the Commanders.
Sounds like a good name. They have the nationals for baseball, and the capitals for hokey, so I get commanders too. But retail is a sweet name
What's a RedTail?
The Tuskegee Airmen of WWII.
You could also fit it in easily to the httr fight song lyrics. Commanders is just so generic and boring. Even football team was a better name. Still I'm glad they changed the name.
Iβm personally more partial to the Washington Redhogs or the Washington Groundhogs.
pittsburgh pierogis - instead of pitt panthers of course
I recall a while ago seeing an interview with the consultant who did a bunch of team logo redesigns, and the basic takeaway was that everything needed to be hyper-aggressive stuff that 10-year-old boys would love. I recall it seemed to involve a lot of replacing mascots that used to be inanimate concepts with muscular, aggressive anthromorphic characters (the pre-2005 logo was just the college's coat of arms, now it's a pallette swap of someone's fursona)
Let's go the completely opposite direction. Let's rename the New York Jets the New York Kittens and have Sanrio design the logo. White uniform with pink and milk-chocolate brown trim. Little ears on the helmets.
That would be awesome. Seeing someone dressed like a cat tackle someone would be a crazy.chamge
Any NBA Team, The CCP removed.
New York Jet & Giants -> New Jersey Jets & Giants, for accuracy.
Change the LA Lakers to the LA Dams.
Ah, thanks, I misread that.
Seattle has enough you could easily come up with an awesome name too.
I would name the Edmonton Elks the Edmonton Eskimos.
