[> [> Yeah, I though about that. The problem is I can't think of a natural way to link Greece up with the other countries. Hellas and Europe United is long and cheesy. Give it some thought Matt, but remember: we are pitching this to our potential sponors as a greek team because we are targeting the greek business community for sponsorship moeny -- if we get too far away from that we lose our hook. Another possibility is to just name the team after our primary sponsor. -- Mike Murphy (Outdoor), 10:19:31 10/26/06 Thu [1] (59.sub-70-195-160.myvzw.com/70.195.160.59)

Can you not change the name and that way extend the number of businesses you can approach for sponsorship?

Visar- yes, we cold do that. The team has 12 greeks and greek americans on the roster, but we also have a guy from Kosovo, a guy from england and a guy from Portugal, not to mention six americans of other ethnicities. The original idea was for a greek team, but this is clearly evolving into a more international effort. I would say if someone could find a non-greek sponsor, the greek guys would more than happily play under a non-greek name (maybe not more than happily, but they will tolerate it :-) ). Before anyone suggest it though, there already is a team named Mundo F.C.
