Seattle Sounders–Toronto FC rivalry

edit

It is surprising that this has not been deemed as a rivalry yet, but it should be acknowledged as one, since those two teams faced each other for the MLS Cup in 2016 and 2017 with the result of trading wins, and are about to have a third finals matchup this year, scheduled in two weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacked14 (talkcontribs) 10:14, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Why would it be? Just meeting in a final does not create a rivalry. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:25, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Walter Görlitz: MLS Commissioner Don Garber called it one, saying it was an "unprecedented rivalry" [1]. What else would it take for it to get cited? Asking honestly. Flowerkiller1692 (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oh the hype that the MLS throws out. It would take an actual rivalry to form, not one made-up to try to push ratings. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Rivalries are not a sub-section of supporters

edit

The rivalries are not sub-sections of the supporters. The Cascadia Cup was started by the supporters, but the others are not affiliated and so we should not make it appear as though they are by creating the hierarchy. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:06, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Jersey names

edit

The Sounders don't refer to their jerseys as home and away. They prefer the terms primary and secondary since the color they wear does not depend on their location. Although looking through the team store and press releases they seem to shy away from the term "secondary" preferring to call it purple or Hendrix.[1][2]76.175.64.189 (talk) 21:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

All MLS sides do the same, however this should be discussed at the template. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just going to stick some notes here that would be useful in developing a "Club culture" section (which would probably encompass the Supporters and Rivalries sections as well).
