As crazy as this sounds, I think MLS actually has too few teams, and while I appreciate MLS trying to be original, MLS needs to look to the U.S.A.'s favorite sport for inspiration: the NFL.
Imagine combining the current MLS teams with these teams as well. The NFL actually had some of its teams named after MLB teams, why can't MLS do the same with the NFL as inspiration!?

If there is waayyy too many teams in doing this, and there could be, I will go back and eliminate a few teams and then we'll see where we are
Should I do that, the original MLS team will be left in that market/city, except for a few rare exceptions.
Here is my new MLS
