I actually really like this. As a Metro (redbull) supporter, it gives us another rival within a close distance.

How is the soccer community in that area?

Personally, I’d like to see the history of the Bethlehem Steel, one of the winningest sides in US Open Cup history, incorporated into the name. Unfortunately, that’d confuse all the Pittsburgh Steeler fans in the state so Philadelphia Steel is probably out…

I live in DC, but I’m truly tempted to root for a bunch of SOB’s.

My Philly-native boyfriend would like to register his agreement that Cheez Whiz has no business on a cheesesteak.

finally! can’t say i like the tax funded stadium though. can’t see it doing anything for chester but i suppose when you’re at the bottom the only way to go is up(can you move sideways?).
as for colors, i like the black but with the city flag colors. have you seen the SoB scarves? they’re nice and i think it would look good.
f*ck pat’s, geno’s, and jim’s. just go to the corner shop and as a lifelong philadelphian who grew up on cheesesteaks(no seriously my dad eats them about once a day) i hafta say cheese-wiz sucks. don’t buy the tourist hype.

Friends, what you’re looking at is the “wiz-wit”. A cheesesteak from Pat’s, that has cheese-WIZ and WITH onions, thus, wiz-wit.

Great decision for the MLS to expand in Philly! I just hope they don’t use the city colors of powder blue and yellow for the jerseys! I vote for black with either eagles green or flyers orange.
