    Apparently Oliver Luck said in a radio interview that Hurricanes wasn't an option.

    Also, according to some guy's MLS blog the team has already decided on a logo. If that's true then they would have the colors picked out already and probably uniforms.

    I hope so too. Let them pick anyone in the team except Tmac and Yao.

    Is that what some of the people here usually say when they talk about trading for a big name player? :p

    The Astros changed their names because they didn't have the rights to Colt .45.

    The Houston Traffic
    The Houston Zoners
    The Houston Tejanos

    Hurricanes would be my choice since it does have precedent in Houston. There isn't anything offensive or insensitive about it, San Jose chose Earthquakes which are more frequent there and just as deadly. Did anyone find that in poor taste? I just hope the name or uniforms aren't lame.

    Houston Mac.

    Tmac is so great that the new soccer team should be named after him.
