Fixed.
I read that there was a shortlist of six team names for the Wellington a-league team and i'm now very curious if anyone has any idea what they were? And if there was other proposed colours etc
FC Wellington the favourite
FRED WOODCOCK - The Dominion Post | Monday, 26 March 2007
It
appears fans have had enough of "gimmicky" franchise names and prefer a
more traditional approach to naming Wellington's A-League football
team.
On Saturday, The Dominion Post published the top six
choices of owner Terry Serepisos and asked for feedback. More than 50
per cent of DoomPost readers who have nothing better to do than respond to our pointless polls responses plumped for "FC Wellington".
The other
five names put forward from a selection of more than 250 were Wellington
Phoenix, Wellington Wasps, Wellington Centurions, Wellington Thunder
and Wellington Crew.
The underlying feeling from haters was that "corny"
names such as the Kingz and Knights should be dropped from an official
club name, which still left room to develop a nickname, such as Phoenix
or Wasps.
"I think FC Wellington would work with the nickname
Hornets, like Watford are Watford FC but still have the logo Hornets,"
wrote Wellington's most boring man and full time negativity merchant Daniel McDonough.
"In addition, you could develop a
nickname i.e. Arsenal (the Gunners), Liverpool (the Reds), FC Wellington
(the Crazy Gang?)," added stereotypical Englishman-on-the-street Gary Hewson.
Of the other five names,
Wellington Phoenix was edging out Wellington Wasps and Wellington
Centurions, while Thunder and Crew were proving least popular.
