It is my opinion that a lot of the team names in the MLS could be better.  I think that more teams should be going with names that contain nicknames (eg. Los Angeles Galaxy, New England Revolution, Portland Timbers) rather than names that follow European soccer conventions (eg. New York City FC, Atlanta United FC, Minnesota United FC).  To be clear, I have nothing against European soccer culture.  However, I feel that team nicknames are an important part of American sports culture that are being cast aside in MLS, only to be replaced by cheap imitations of European soccer culture.  So, in an attempt to combat the “FC City United” scourge that is sweeping the league, I have come up with a concept for David Beckham’s expected Miami expansion team: the Miami Strikers.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers, who currently play in the second-tier NASL, have gone through several different incarnations since they first came into existence in 1977.  Six clubs out of the twenty currently in MLS moved to the league from lower-tier leagues such as the NASL, and another NASL-to-MLS move will be happening again in a few years with Minnesota United FC.  Thus, it seemed natural to do the same with the Strikers.  However, a good team nickname should be specific to something in the team’s home to make the team name more meaningful to fans.  With that in mind, I decided to stick with the nickname “Strikers” but reinterpret it to refer to a lightning strike, an allusion to the thunderstorms that are common in southern Florida.

The team crest depicts two inward facing lightning bolts, with “Miami Strikers” across the top.  The bottom half of the crest contains a horizontal stripe pattern, an homage to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers’ classic red and yellow striped jerseys.  Lastly, I included the number 1977, the year of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers’ origin, written in the middle stripe of the crest.  The team colors are dark gray, for the clouds of a thunderstorm, light yellow, for the sand and sun, and sea foam green, for the tropical waters.

Report: Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play in MLS beginning in 2018

L.A. and Miami are the only two places I can see this happening, with South Beach having the lead.

In a Tuesday article on SI.com, Grant Wahl reports that Cristiano Ronaldo “would likely begin a career in MLS on a free transfer in 2018 once his current contract with Real Madrid ends.

The reports are now echoing the comments made by his representative, Jorge Mendes — indicating that he will head…

Home prices in the tri-county area fell by 1.9 percent in January compared to the same period in 2011, according to data from the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price index. The data comes in contrast to recent reports from Florida broker associations, which have shown significant price increases.Case-Shiller data does not include condominiums, however, which have been a significant driver of the residential market in South Florida, particularly in Miami-Dade County. Local Realtor board data reflects sales during each month, not the total value of all homes in the region.
