Now, does that mean that the name is still being decided, or does it mean the decided name is simply being kept secret?

We'll know more about that Tuesday, when the league plants its expansion flag. Until the ownership group plants a flag in a team name, we will debate.

OK, but what about this one?

Here's my working list so far:

St. Louis City: MLS was determined to be downtown. The new stadium is part of a continued effort to revitalize the area. Just ignore the fact that Orlando is named Orlando City FC. And drop the FC altogether. On the other hand, the county crowd might bristle at the name.

St. Louis United: I like this one a lot, but would not bet the mortgage on it. The league already has three teams named United.

St. Louis Flood: A bit grim, considering it's a real threat around here, but it's regionally relevant. Hey, it worked for the San Jose Earthquake.
