Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) NSWE have applied for a trade mark for a new team the Las Vegas Villains () a potential MLS club. I assume the spelling is on purpose and it will be a separate entity although would've been nice to keep Villans for other clubs. Either way. A very very positive move, similar to The City Group if we can keep adding like this and a great feeder / place to send loan players to in the future Edited August 13, 2021 by HalfTimePost 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Should be Villans. Annoying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'm hoping it's not too late to also register 'Villans' to indicate a stronger link to our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looks like a spelling mistake to pretty much anyone who isn't a Villa fan - I swear even some of our fans and players have spelt it with an I before.

Popular Post Mic09 Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 Naah, the name is good - it's more relevant to the local traditions of 'Packers' 'Steelers' ' Chiefs' 'Patriots' or 'Cowboys'. We are Villa and we support Aston Villa. An MLS brand can only benefit from the name 'Villains' as it's more marketable in the US demographic.

Popular Post ThunderPower_14 Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 If they're going to worry about spelling it properly they should just be Las Vegas Villa. Villains gives a solid nod without being too obvious. I'm supportive of it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Also they probably registered the trademark for multiple variations of the name to prevent people from utilising it to make money. I imagine they own the rights to both Villans and Villains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Vegas is a tremendous place to visit after having done it myself a couple of times so I can easily see why they would want to put an MLS team there. The NFL's Raiders and the NHL'S Golden Knights tend to get very good crowds and I'm quite sure this team would also especially since the nearest MLS team to Vegas is Real Salt Lake which is around 6 hours away. Also, go gamble and watch some Vegas Showgirls right before the game. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 From the Wes Edens thread On 11/08/2021 at 17:21, sne said: Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens is one of a handful of people trying to lure a Major League Soccer team to Las Vegas as the city emerges as the most likely location for the league’s 30th franchise. Edens and Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley are part of separate groups hoping to bring an expansion franchise to Allegiant Stadium, the $2 billion home of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to multiple people familiar with the plans. Another group, backed by the Renaissance Companies, is looking to bring a team to Cashman Field, home of the city’s USL franchise. A representative for MLS declined to comment on the expansion. A spokesman for Edens also declined to comment, and a representative for Foley didn’t immediately respond to a request. Co-founder of Fortress Investment Group, Edens’ sports holding include the Bucks, English soccer club Aston Villa, and esports organization FlyQuest. He has direct business ties to Las Vegas, as well. Fortress is backing Brightline West, a high-speed rail project hoping to connect Las Vegas to Los Angeles https://sports.yahoo.com/wes-edens-backs-mls-expansion-150603202.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including me, especially since I don't gamble anymore! Long term, Vegas is going to be an environmental hellscape. I'd hate to live there, too. Sorry to be negative, but I'd prefer it if Edens channeled his money into Villa's football exploits, not an MLS start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
