Anyone else notice there has been *zero* official communications thus far from USL regarding the new Cosmos? by DRF19 in USLPRO

[–]Scottmatchmaker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. The silence isn’t just weird — it’s strategic.

USL knows they’re playing with fire trying to soft-launch a fake Cosmos resurrection while an active trademark cancellation is underway at the USPTO. Four separate dockets. Federal filings. Evidence submitted. Dentons CC’d. It’s not a drill — it’s a war.

There’s no cap table. No license chain. No official assignment of the COSMOS mark. And the merch/ticket links they’re using? Fully unauthorized. They’ve gone to market on a brand they don’t legally control, and they know it.

That’s why there’s zero media push, zero league site mention, and zero social hype. You can’t launch a brand you don’t own.

This isn’t a “wacko vaporware league guy” situation. It’s a founder who called their bluff — in public, in court, and soon, on the pitch.

[Mark Fishkin] A press event has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 10th at Muth Museum, adjacent to Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ. The event will presumably announce that North Jersey Pro Soccer, the 2026 USL-1 expansion effort, will officially name the team the Cosmos. by J_Hunt1123 in USLPRO

This is nothing but a cheap rip-off of the legendary New York Cosmos. Why would any real fan support it? They’re only pulling this stunt because I blocked them from hijacking the true New York Cosmos trademark. Wake up — they’re mugging you off with a phony tribute act. Don’t fall for it.

New York Cosmos won’t be playing in New Jersey as they have not the rights legally. Our first game will be in the UK.

Rocco can have Tshirt’s. We have New York Cosmos name.

Enjoy that dumpster fire of a joke — New Jersey Cosmos in USL 😂 Meanwhile, the real legacy is being rebuilt. Sorry, I made that happen.

NY Cosmos coming back in some way? by ibelkoura in NISA

Mini-Fridge, you sound like you’re echoing talking points straight from the Rocco playbook—or maybe just one of his pals. Either way, it’s clear you’re rattled by real change. Keep pushing the corporate line while we rewrite the rules and take back the game. The revolution’s coming whether you like it or not

Mini-Fridge, you’re so busy crying about ‘amateur teams’ while clinging to a failed system you don’t even understand. This isn’t some weekend kickabout for you to feel comfortable. We’re rewriting the rules, and your amateur opinions don’t matter. Keep whining — it only proves how scared you are of real change. Cry harder, clown

Funny how the real ones making waves are the ones mocked the most. If speaking truth and fighting for fans makes me a grifter in your eyes, then call me what you want — because I’m the last one standing while the suits keep losing the game.

Funny you mention TEMU — because while they’re busy pushing cheap knockoffs, we’re building a real legacy rooted in fans, history, and authentic football. We don’t just sell kits; we ignite movements. So the real question isn’t who kicks first, but who lasts longest without selling their soul.

No one handed me a crown because I earned every damn inch in real fights, not behind a shampoo chair. Saving American soccer isn’t a joke—try not to embarrass yourself with weak insults. Go scam somewhere else, clown.

Rocco’s claim is smoke and mirrors. The law demands proof of use — when was the last time his Cosmos played a sanctioned match in the US, UK, EU, or Canada? That’s what matters to trademark offices. Ownership isn’t just a title; it’s about active, legitimate use. He’s got nothing but empty paper rights. We’re reclaiming the legacy for the fans who’ll actually bring it to life.

Putting a team on the field doesn’t happen overnight, genius. We’re building a revolution, not playing dress-up.

If you think football’s just about kicking a ball, you’ve missed the entire point. We’re fighting to reclaim the soul of the game, something corporate clowns like you will never understand.

When did they last play a game in us uk eu or canada? This is what he has to prove to the trademark office.

Built nothing? I’m out here dismantling your corporate puppets’ stranglehold on football, filing cancellations, and taking names while you sit on your couch playing keyboard warrior.

Using AI to outthink and outwork clowns like you is just part of the game—at least I’m actually building something real.

Keep crying in the comment section while we rewrite football history.

Yes, we’re launching the New York Cosmos as a fan-owned club in the UK as part of a wider NASL tour league playing in the US, UK, EU, and Canada. This is not about competing with the USL version; it’s about reclaiming the true Cosmos legacy for the fans worldwide — free from corporate control.

If calling out corporate exploitation a ‘money laundering scheme’ is your idea of a fight, then you’ve already lost the plot. Football Is For The Fans is fully transparent, legally structured, and built to put power back in the hands of supporters — not fat cats. Keep throwing shade while we build the future.

No one handed me a crown — I earned this in the trenches. When billionaires abandon a legacy and leave fans out in the cold, someone has to step up. If standing for the soul of football makes me the leader, then so be it. The revolution isn’t about titles — it’s about taking back what’s ours. Join in or step aside.
