Is there another forum where excited fans are gathering and talking about this Charlotte Independence stuff, way in advance?? I know about CrownTownSoccer, and I've twitter-met some of you... Just wondering if this was the only place. I'd talk about it daily.

Philadelphia Union meets NE Revolution then? The red accents on Captain Jack have me worried. There can always be mild rebrand for MLS someday too. Looking forward to the logos we'll get to vote on. Excited.

Red blue and gold? Looks like?

Haha. Awesome. I've been using this as a logo for my fantasy throwball teams, which are all named after my new town... And it's green and white. Green, white and gold gets my vote, as long as we're different enough from the MLS team in Portscum. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/u/us-nccmb.gif

Thanks Ah59396. Perfect summary. As a former Seattle Sounders and Detroit City FC season ticket holder, I can't wait to support this team whatever the name. Hoping beyond hope that Charlotte is the town we finally land in (I'm so tired of moving and we love it here so far), and I'm minutes from Memorial Stadium, so I'm eating up all the Queen City SC stuff I can get my hands on. Where'd you first hear the rumor?

Also, the Independence theme likely lends itself to red white and blue colors, something... oh... 99% of MLS teams have. Give me some better colors Queen City SC.

New to this online community and new to Charlotte (from St. Louis, Seattle, Columbus, and Detroit respectively)...but I can't understand the Independents/Independence idea. Does the city have a lot of pride around Captain Jack? I'd never heard of Charlotte's role in 1775 until this week. I'd worry the majority of the US would associate independence with the civil war rather than the revolutionary. 1776 is Boston and Philly's thing. Yes? No?
