brother i will be heartbroken if the team is named anything but this. it’s perfect.
unsolicited reminder that raleigh’s own “copper head” (the capitol dome, one of 9 in the u.s.) is a beautiful branding opportunity for the team to locate in the capital city
It will almost certainly not be named Raleigh. Don’t get me wrong, if I got to name the team it’d be Raleigh, but the exact thing we’re talking about above (lack of unity) makes it impossible.
The harsh truth that some folks just cannot admit is that “Raleigh” simply DOES NOT have the name recognition as “Carolina” or even “Charlotte” for that matter. It was never not gonna be “Carolina” if they put the team here, and that’s COMPLETELY fine. We’re the Capital of Carolina, after all
it’s a vicious loop. You can’t be named Raleigh because we don’t have name recognition. We can’t get name recognition because the team won’t be named Raleigh.
