Rubber City Akron Soccer Support Group

[bobbyake]

Before we start to make shirts and get this group seriously rolling, we need to make sure the name is what we want. Personally, I don't care for the Renegade term because the first definition:

1: a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another

2: an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior

Synonyms: apostate, defector, deserter, recreant

Antonyms: loyalist

Basically, Renegade means traitor. Also, the Rubber City Rollergirls use it as one of their team's names.

The name Rubber City Renegades ended up being the winner of this poll: http://akronsportsnow.com/the-last-final-v...pporters-group/

and it's been discussed on Zipsnation before: http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?showtopic=21400

Now we're discusing it on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/194378190573670/

Exchange Street Elite!

I liked it then, and I like it now.

Exchange Street Elite!

I liked it then, and I like it now.

I don't think we had enough support for it though. Plus, the bars on Exchange Street suck and it would be ironic if we had a home bar that wasn't on Exchange. I think Rubber City Elite could be an option.

Nice.

Rubber City Ogohs

Would be unique and probably no one would know what it meant. An Ogoh is a mythical creature that captures the negative energy and evil spirits so the group can have prosperity. Could be lots of fun. But it probably will not get much support.

I wondered how you had heard of an ogoh. Lord knows I hadn't.

Wikipedia: "Ogoh-ogoh are statues built for the Ngrupuk parade, which takes place on the eve of Nyepi day in Bali, Indonesia."

don't be shy about voting here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/194378190573670/

Facebook polls allow people to change votes, and allows me to add/remove options as we go. This makes it easier.

We need to do something similar to this to save the Akron Summit Assault team. http://theshinguardian.com/2011/11/01/psa-...er-was-growing/

I'm up for whatever name we change our group to, as long as it's not rooligans..i despise it.

Rubber City Brigade is the perfect compromise, can we end voting tomorrow at 10pm? Hoping one of us hears back from the Akron Metro FC's status with the Akron Summit Assault. Our efforts will focus on public awareness and saving them. No reason a PDL team can't survive in this city.
