According to The Palm Beach Post, while pitching the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County and potential investors on his plans to bring a Major League Soccer expansion franchise to South Florida, David Beckham revealed three possible team identities - as well as a potential logo and uniform - for the team: LINK.

According to the newspaper, sources within the Beckham group said that identities currently under consideration are Miami Vice, Miami Current, and an undisclosed name tied to a corporate sponsor. They are not necessarily the only names under consideration, but were the only names mentioned during the pitch sessions.

quote:

With good humor, Beckham said one of the many names proposed to him was “Golden Balls F.C.,” which a reference to an infamous nickname given to him by his wife, Victoria. A smiling Beckham said that’s “definitely not” one of the options.


As for the potential logo and uniform mock-ups that were used in the pitches...

Surprised Beckham wasn't the model for the uniform.

I like the colors but Miami Vice sounds very cheesy. Will Beckham drive to the games in a white Ferrari?

I think that logo would be great if they replaced the USA crest looking ball with just something that fits Miami. There is no need for a ball. Also, I think any name they come up with will sound cheesy. Should just be Miami FC, but I really doubt that happens.

You would think there would be some copyright issues with the Vice name, no?
