Charlotte, North Carolina — At least 8 team names are being considered for Charlotte’s future MLS franchise.
Panthers President Tom Glick told @AllisonWSOC9 last week that the team name/ colors will be decided with input from fans. I expect this process to happen in the spring. https://t.co/29F4nfmchY
