MDZip Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Thought the original formation was for an Akron support group, if so, Porter's Army is way too specific. Love it as a soccer support group name but even then it has a somewhat limited lifespan of usefulness. Quote

Even though Porter signed a 10 year extension, the program will certainly exist well beyond his stellar tenure. Name cannot be officially Porter’s - anything. At this point, I am for any name that does not include ROOligans. Quote
yazan07 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 For those of you who are against anything "Porter" related or anything "Rooligan" related, what do you think about "Rubber City Renegades?" I think it sounds fairly menacing and is still very Akron-ish Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Posted January 28, 2011 Oh don't worry, we still haven't decided. The big problem is, though around half of everyone likes "Rooligans", half of the people (1/4 overall) that don't like it, HATE IT. So I don't want a name that turns away the hardcore socccer fans, because those are the people that will make this group. So basically, taking a little longer to decide than expected. Quote

I'm going to do an official poll really soon. And that will decide it...period! lol Quote

RootforRoo44 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Ok folks, here is the official poll to vote for the name: VOTE HERE You can vote for up to TWO selections. Quote
akzipper Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I'd say once you guys think of a name, call up the marketing dept and see if their graphic designer could make you a cool logo or shirts. They seemed to do a great job on the championship posters and it wouldn't hurt to try and ask... Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 Poll is done, we had no majority winner (surprise) so we are doing a runoff between the top two to decide the all-out winner. VOTE HERE Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Posted February 12, 2011 Results of the vote: 1) Rubber City _____ (Renegades, Firm, Mob,etc.) (62%, 37 Votes) 2) All variations of “Rooligans” (Akron Rooligans, Rooligan Army, Exchange St. Rooligans, etc.) (38%, 23 Votes) Now to decide the final variation on the name. Here is the final poll...yes finally. Quote
