Philadelphia's MLS team has decided upon their name, and it is...Philadelphia Union. The team said that the name is representative of the nation's colonial past and the city's central role in the nation's founding. And all this time I was thinking that the name had selected in honor of the city's role in the labor movement. Either way, the team motto "Jungite aut Perite" -- Join or Die -- is just too perfect.
The team directors put a lot of work into the meaning of all elements of the logo and the colors and ended up with something that was truly symbolic of the city and its history. Very well done.
