Red Bull New York

[Fallon]

It's better than the MetroStars, but that's a little blunt with the advertising.

no matter what jersey cant catch a break.&nbsp; even with the team moving further away from new york they are some corporate sponsored team from&nbsp;&quot;new york&quot;

That's fucking awful.&nbsp; I had no problem with the MetroStars and liked the name even more when people began dropping of the 'New York/New Jersey' part.&nbsp; I'm going to have a tough time supporting a team that's as blantant with the&nbsp;sponsorship as that.&nbsp; What's next? Kotex Chicago?

well, the only hope is that people just start refering to them simply as "the Bulls".

So I gues next is DC United Airlines...

<p>Well, there's an MLS team called Chivas USA...</p><p>And wasn't there an Arenaball team called the Red Dogs, like the beer?</p>

They should have called them the Wings. Bring in that whole redbull gives you wings thing.

<p>As expected, New Jersey is not thrilled about the New York only designation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Story: &nbsp;<a title="Jersey Seeing "Red" Over Soccer Name Change" href="http://www.1010wins.com/pages/14241.php" target="_self">http://www.1010wins.com/pages/14241.php</a></p><p>&quot;Their new name may be Red Bull New York, but striking New Jersey from their name seems to be a different kind of bull altogether,&quot; said Brendan Gilfillan, a spokesman for <a href="http://www.state.nj.us/governor/">Gov.
