New York Field Club → New York F.C. – While New York Field Club is the correct name for the completely separate 1932 club, the club that played in the NAFBL and the original ASL was called the New York Football Club (renamed New York Soccer Club after the 1921/22 season). There has been confusion of "Field Club" teams and "Football Club" teams with similar names and which has combined those together. For example, the original ASL Philadelphia Football Club has been given the name Philadelphia Field Club, just as here the original NAFBL & ASL New York Football Club has been given the name New York Field Club. These Field Clubs were part of a few completely separate leagues that were around in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Theses were leagues of association football teams based at field clubs (basically country clubs) in New York (the Field Club Soccer League), New Jersey and Philadelphia. While these field clubs would play a schedule, each league would also put together a team of members for inter-city games with other leagues. It was these teams that were called "Philadelphia Field Club" and "New York Field Club" when they played those inter-city games. For reference about field clubs, see "English Speaking World", September 1920, page 20. For reference about New York F.C.'s name, see the Spalding's Soccer Football Guides from that time period (http://collections.carli.illinois.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/sie_soccer). An issue on this page is that only the top section (above New York Field Club II) should be moved. The New York Field Club II should stay on this page. It does add to the confusion that this separate 1932 pro ASL club is called "New York Field Club"!

 * Oppose - not convinced by nom's case, and new name is ambiguous with New York City FC. GiantSnowman 12:16, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose and disambiguate New York F.C. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 08:15, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
