When RSL was introduced to the Utah sports scene a lot of people unfamiliar with soccer could not understand the concept of a sports team not having a name like "the Jazz" or "the Bees". When the name Real Salt Lake was unveiled I remember watching our local newscasts and they all refered to the team as "the Reals". It took actually a couple of years for everyone to get on board and understand the concept. But for quite awhile local soccer fans were worried this team would forever be known as the Reals
