Supporters Cup

[MyBoyVilla]

I think most of us can agree that the Seattle-Portland-Vancouver region has the best rivalry and support in MLS. I believe a major part of that is the Cascadia Cup, created by the supporters.

I think we should do a similar thing with teams in our region. All the great rivalries in NY Sports include other NY teams, Philadelphia, and Boston. It would be great to create a supporters cup between NYCFC, RBNY, Union, and Revs. It would make those rivalry games even more meaningful, encourage away support, team effort, etc. I only see good things coming from it. Obviously this would be a bit down the line, but at some point we should try to arrange this.

I think it's a cool idea. It's a fun way to encourage SG inolvement and even get the teams excited for what could otherwise be regular no-big-deal matches.

What do you think would be a good name for such a cup?

Liberty Cup
Colony Cup
?

The region is the Atlantic Coast so maybe.... Atlantica Cup?
Also nearby is Appalachian Mountains... Appalachian Cup?

I like Colonial Cup as well.

Add DCU and call it the I95 Cup. Or what the hell, get Amtrak involved......."The Acela Cup".

If you are doing an I-95 Cup you will probably have to include DC United, Orlando SC and Miami. If we are looking into just the Northeast, we may need to think if a different idea.

My thoughts as well. I think "Colonial Cup" is the way to go, and just the 4 teams within reasonable driving distance

Would you add DC United?

 

[einwindir]

Would you add DC United?

I would say NO simply because it's the furthest. DC also isn't really part of the 13 Colonies.

I think DC, Toronto and Montreal are just a bit too far to be part of it. Philly Boston NY are literally clustered together.
