Am I the only one excited for the upcoming Brooklyn USL League 1 team? The owners group already owns 2 Italian teams (one in Series B and one in Series D) and has, what I think, is a cool vision for the club.
"Two years ago, we began sketching out a vision to bring elite European-style professional football to Brooklyn. It was a vision to create a melting pot club in the most iconic melting pot metropolis in the world. We would recruit talent from all continents and create a true neighborhood club that would be a source of pride for everyone who identifies with Brooklyn. It would be Brooklyn’s club. Our thesis was simple. There is no place in the US that is more equipped to serve as the home of international soccer than Brooklyn."
I've always thought it would be cool if NYC had local borough or neighborhood specific soccer teams like London does and I think this group is actually trying to make something like that happen.
"We already have multiple venues ready for approval, and believe our fans are going to love the experience. We are obsessed with creating an intimate, neighborhood, European-style atmosphere right in the heart of Brooklyn."
They say they're going to reveal the branding and name soon so I guess we'll hear more then.
