The name is awful. What a disaster. While I wouldn't actually do it, I did briefly consider canceling my season tickets.
Same here. In the end they have soccer fans by the balls and we'll give them money to see games regardless. But I won't be buying any merchandise from them, I can easily do without that. Also, the supporters group will have banners, t-shirts, and chants about 1836 to keep the memory alive.
i tried to buy an 1836 t-shirt before all this crap went down, they cancelled my order and never shipped the shirt
Dude!!!! Do NOT make me laugh at my desk like that!!! I'm at work! $60 wireless keyboard with Diet Coke all in it. Thanks a freakin' lot.
In theory, you could make your own 1836 merchandise, so long as it didn't use the prior logo. You can't copyright a date.
Dynamos? Man that kills my sig. I don't even care about soccer anyway, in fact I'd rather houston get an NHL team. Future sig, Texans Rockets Astros Penguins -dont get caught in da h-town trap! screw da dynamos!
I dont like the name, but the logo looks great. One more thing: I born and live in mexico and I never get ofended by that name.
Most Mexicans weren't (at least from my experiance). Politicians and activists took it upon themselves to speak for the Mexican community though.
that sucks dude... i got 3 of them at Academy, my friends and i are going to the games and we're going to cheer for the '36rs i don't care what the new name is!!
that's a great point, i didn't hear a single Mexican complain about the name, in times like this is when i can do without politicians, and well... most of the time i could do without politicians.
