After 4 days of voting, it is my pleasure to announce that the official name of the NYCFC Supporters Group will be: the Third Rail. It was a close vote, with NAA coming in second and SCNY in third, tied with The Natives. Blue Army and The Warriors rounded out 5th and 6th place.
And The Winner Is...

Congrats to my fellow Third Railiens!
@einwindir Do you have all the different Third Rail designs people were working on?
Shit. This may be the one time I can't deliver. I never saved those images. I'll do some scouring...
edit: does the Facebook timeline even go back that far?

This is a really rough idea. I will give credit to @lawson for the initial idea. It is the symbol for british rails, an Iconic symbol in the football world. The symbol of away days, and the casual scene. Im not saying this will be the "official" logo (unless people like it) could be one of our many.
Just out of curiosity - how many people voted? What was the breakdown?
If anyone is looking for inspiration for the design, this is a great place to start. http://www.aiga.org/the-mostly-true-story-of-helvetica-and-the-new-york-city-subway/
I'm going to start taking a crack at it today based on some of the iconic local/historical signage. My wife is a graphic designer. I'll see if she's interested in helping out.

I like this. I think I remember you mentioning it was based on a template. There may be rights issues if that is the case.
theres a lot of tweets out there saying "the third rail"
