When is Houston getting a name?

[Minor League Man]

It's been a week since the contest ended, and the team doesn't have a name yet.
Any idea when it will?

It could well be today at the Superdraft.

However, I think they're not going to whip out the logo until the kits are ready, and adidas is apparently still tinkering.

BTW, someone should be searching for domain names. We all know that these "contests" are nothing more than promotional gimmicks, anyway. The name is kind of pre-chosen.

Announced at the Superdraft on Friday- a press conference this Wednesday to reveal the team name and kits.

BTW, this little ditty from http://www.logansrevenge.blogspot.com/

Houston Que Nombre?

The voting is over for the Houston MLS name. Right now there is a clear favorite with the momentum and mojo, the odds on choice that is being given the once over around the league office and owners. That name is Houston 1836. The decision at this point is not Houston 1836 versus some other name like Apollos, Toros, or Mustangs, instead the decision is do we, or do we not, go with Houston 1836? Is this a name we can live with for years?

That’s the name on the table. Will they run with it?

Looks like then ran with it http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20060125&content_id=51070&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp

will take some time to get used to it but it's okay.
