Why is a football team allowed to be named "United"? If Detroit gets a MLS team,

should it be named United? There are so many teams named "United" and I think Detroit United FC or Michigan United FC would be better than simply Detroit FC. My question is whether or not there is a prerequisite to be allowed to have that "United" tag or can a team just adopt it because they want it?

As long as the name is not patent they can use the name. Detroit United sounds good.
