I mean, wtf?

Real Salt Lake means that they're just a bunch of Eurosnob posers. I prefer Imitation Salt Lake myself.

CD Chivas USA is just an American division of CD Chivas, which is a club in the Mexican league. I think it stands for something like Club Deportivo or somesuch. There's actually a good reason for that, the owner of Chivas in Mexico has invested in MLS and is interested in leveraging the Chivas brand identity in an American team. We'll see how well it works... there are some xenophobic undertones that might be a little disturbing (and all the moreso to caucasian bigots since it's pro-Mexican...).
