The big delay for such an original name... The New York Red Bulls II will be the USL Team Name. Logo below...
Coach and secondary playing location coming soon.

Oh fuck right off. I was weirdly excited for this. I thought maybe it was a chance for them to reel back in some of the disenchanted fans that follow the club.
Either they go with some basic like this and get criticized, or try something unique (like Real Monarchs) and get criticized because it sounds stupid. They can't win either way.
At least its simple and there is no confusion about who's reserve team it is.
I thought the asshats might actually give it a name that meant something to supporters...so much for that.

I never thought it would be named anything other than this. People did?

The twitter account has been up for a few weeks. I thought that would've been the signal.

I expected this, the Brand is why they are here. The only hope was that they'd do something like name them The Toros or some type of play on the word Bull to change it up a bit and give the team an actual identity, but, there is only one identity in RB land. Meh. Is what it is.
We spent ~20 years bitching about them not having a team like this to groom players on. As long as they can actually invest in it and operate it well, the name really isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things.
One question for Dan-
We currently have:
Main forum

- NMR
- DeadHorse
Would you want another forum for the USL team? Like:

Might be more organized that way, than to have conflicting game threads during the year, etc.

"Real Monarchs" is stupid because it is rather redundant. If they had been Salt Lake Monarchs, that works fine. It would actually be a better name than the one in MLS.
They could have gone with Red Bull MetroStars or Metropolitans. Instead, they did what I (and I thought everybody else) thought they would do and stuck with Red Bull New York 2.

Do we really need this? It'll be like 20 threads all year.
