Did the Sounders have any big names back in the day? You know, like Pele, Beckenbauer, Neeskens etc etc etc.
They didn't have big names but they managed to compete as one of the top teams.
It's just that there are too many names the are just FC. Toronto FC. FC Dallas. Soon to be a FC Philadelphia. I mean they don't even have nicknames (FC Dallas is the Hoops which I've heard before from a much better club in Europe). In MLS the team names have something to do with the city ('cept NY) and not just random names like other games. And if Seattle FC gets voted, people will still call them the sounders anyway.
