Location: Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.Nickname: The Black Cats, Mackems (as seen before, more of a name for anyone from Sunderland.)
Stately, Non-Commercial Stadium Name: The Stadium of Light. I'm not kidding, that's actually what their stadium is called.
Crest: Nightmarish. Lions as black as my soul attacking some Greek buildings.
Season So Far: Considering they're responsible for two of the four worst premier league seasons of all time, pretty damn good. One win from their last dozen games and they would equal the combined point total from those two seasons. Eleventh place and eight points clear of the drop. I'm going to do it, the first team in this parade of folly that I'll say is safe from relegation.
General vibe to a casual American fan: It's hard to forget those godawful 19 and 15 points seasons. Lucky for them, Derby went out and accumulated all of 11 points last year.
That looks like the logo for Six Flags over Sparta.
