Jay Sugarman, Daniel Day Lewis lookalike
Don Garber announced a new MLS franchise in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. The ownership group is headed by iStar’s CEO, Jay Sugarman,one of the best compensated CEO’s in the US. One of his partners is Nick Sakiewicz, a two-time winner of the MLS Executive of the Year award, and former GM of the Tampa Bay Mutiny and Metrostars (now NY Red Bulls). Its new home will be a 20,000 seater stadium in Chester, minutes away from Phila. The stadium is also part of a $500m downtown revitalization project.
The new name, logo, and colours are to be unveiled. Any ideas as to what its name could be?
Lets hope it is not the Philadelphia iStars or Quakers or Liberty or something as trite as that. Maybe Jay Sugarman can take some inspiration from Daniel Day Lewis and call it Philadelphia Ripe Foot.
