Orlando City Should Display Victorious Past

Last weekend, the Seattle Sounders hung their new 2016 MLS Cup Championship banner at CenturyLink Field. Doing so during a pregame ceremony, the club celebrated the triumph by implementing a uniquely American symbol that would last many years, reminding future generations of fans of the accomplishment. While Orlando City has yet to succeed in even qualifying for the playoffs in MLS, the club has a history of success in the USL that should be publicly recognized by the club in a similar way.

During its years in USL, Orlando City became famous for rabid fan support. While its attendance numbers have since been trounced by clubs like the Sacramento Republic and FC Cincinnati, the Lions boasted attendance figures unseen at that level of the American soccer pyramid at the time.
