Depends when they make the announcement

'Macarthur Monday'
'Southwest Sunday'

By Redkat....”South West Albion? ”

****

I believe Albion is an old reference to England/Britain.......so unless you want a throwback to the old colonial days....

South Wales Colonials........hehe

if the mayor have their way then yes.



Its going to be a small but very high tech city

I sent an email to MSW last night with a name suggestion and received a personal reply from the secretary earlier today; some bloody good commitment there. I did the same with WMG a few weeks back.....and nothing...not even an automated reply.

MSW have got it all over WMG....absolutely all over em. Are you taking notice WMG ? What’s that...can’t be assed you say....well bloody well fook off then.

Western Melbourne has CGI too:

Campbelltown is part of Macarthur so it doesn't work.  The bid was a joint bid from the 3 LGAs that make up the Macarthur region and the LGAs that make up South West Sydney region.

The history of football in the region is that originally football was run by the Granville and Districts Soccer Association which was founded in 1890.  That Association still exists today but as housing expanded in the west of Sydney they passed over control to local associations.  In the west Blacktown, Nepean and recently Hills were split off from GDSFA.  In the south west Southern Districts Soccer Football Association was started in 1947 to look after all football from Fairfield south to the greater Sydney limits.  In 1983 SDSFA handed over the control of football in the Macarthur region of Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly to the association now known as Macarthur Football Association.  Currently in SDSFA there are about 9,000 registered players and in the lesser populated but faster growing MFA there are about 10k registered players.

If the club was going to use its history to select a name that covers the area that the team sees as its market Southern Districts Macarthur would be the closest fit.

kinda wish those were built already :)

wish this kid the best of luck :D

Right, so I informed myself more on this joint bid. Majority of name suggestions leave out one of the two joining bids and Macarthur South West Sydney United is a mouthful.

Best fusion I can think of, as of now, is.....

Macarthur South City

Macarthur Southern Districts

Steve Horvat was literally on the daily football show yesterday mentioning once the name, badge and colours are done they are starting to move forward with the stadium. I dont know why people are convinced this is not happening, there is nothing to suggest that any backers have pulled out or that its not happening 

Campelltown is in Macarthur. It would make more sense to have Macarthur-Liverpool. Works for St George-Illawarra Dragons and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

Interesting to note that the hospital region is South Western Sydney. So my guess is eventually the whole region will be known as that.

That surely isn't the Werribee river...

McArthur Campbelltown Bulls fc;
M.C. Bulls fc

Maybe MC Hammer FC

Yo mc fc!

It's a really little creek that goes through Werribee that doesn't even have a name on Google maps, obviously they'd be digging an artificial lake out if it Canberra style, if it happens.

I think I have a winner....

Cumberland South FC

Derived from the Cumberland Plain that covers the sweeping Greater Western Sydney area

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_Plain

Just dont call the team cumberland united. they already exist.

Cumberland plain is near Penrith.
How about George's River United since the George's River starts in Campbelltown and meanders through Liverpool?

Are sure, this map says otherwise.....

Reference to the local Georges River works too

A quick mockup I have done of a logo* and two possible home shirts (would be paired with black shorts and white socks with a single white band). Away kits would be the inverse.

Team name: Macarthur Athletic

Name basis: Following the Melbourne expansion team taking the term United, and with the league now having multiple teams with the United name it would be best to not use it as well. Instead I have gone with the term Athletic as both the Macarthur and South West Sydney regions have a history of producing high class athletes, the club name recognises those who have represented the regions in the past and those who will continue to do so into the future.

Logo design: Taking elements from both the Southern DIstricts (bridge) and Macarthur (ram) Football federations the logo represents the two major regions behind the club.

*Not all logo elements are original, only used to show concept.

I like it. Let's see what the fan forums say.

New bar has been set at FFA

No consultation or fan engagement and we'll find out it's South West United

I'm sure the bidders for SWS want it to succeed and aren't banking on property development to fund the thing. Although the Chairman would be Walker.

I like homage to both regions in the logo but would both teams allow it so easily?

yep, especially when these chinese backers that everyone has been going on about is not part of the western united consortium. 

Re the use of ‘United’.
Plenty of alternatives to have the same effect.
Just look at South America, Netherlands or even local cricket clubs.
