Reply to comment by gusmoney in One of my favourite things about Philly by kcvngs76131

I’m developing a passing interest in the EPL and I’m still trying to nail down a team to support. One of the teams that is in the mix is West Ham precisely because about half my Phillies gear already matches their colors.

Hey, that's as good a reason as any. I went to a game with a cousin when I was about 5, and I fell in love with the Gunnersaurus, and that's when Arsenal became my English team. I know someone who follows Partick Thistle in the SPFL specifically because they were gifted a shirt with Kingsley on it and it was ridiculous (seriously, everyone please look up Partick Thistle Kingsley).

What other teams are you considering?

Leeds United has a few Americans, including Brenden Aaronson, a Union academy alum. (Ignore than Leeds’ form has been terrible of late.)

My friends' three year old loves Arsenal for the very same reasons - bright colors! /s
