If you became an owner of a new local professional soccer team, what would you call it and what would the mascot be?

No idea, but sitting here trying to remember the names of all the defunct "professional" soccer teams we have had.
Still have the Republic.
Had the Surge, the Knights, The Gold, Spirits, Acorns, Celtics, and the Garibaldis.
Most of these teams were champions. Most of these teams were in leagues that went bankrupt despite the teams being financially viable and selling out

I like the "[city name] Buzz", and the mascot would be a bee (cause you know copyrights/trademarks and all) - and the tagline would be 'the Buzz Rules!'

They do have some great gear if you want to show some AZ pride in general though.

They are a quality USL Championship (Division 2 minor league soccer) team. So if you are ever inclined to see a professional soccer match, you can find out more information here:

I just figured if anyone in your family might want to watch a match in the future, you would have all the information. If none of this is of interest, no worries. At least you now know a team exists.

You’ll appreciate MLS not having to many divers in matches compared to European leagues. North American leagues fine athletes for diving, so they tend to do it a lot less.

Well I've always liked the name of the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, but you said local, so DC Swamp it is. Mascot Swamp creature/black lagoon type monster
