There has to be a better way of including the NASL stuff (or better yet, not including it and making a seperate article). It's just messy and confusing as it is.Spejic 07:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

This page should be put alongside TB and MIA in the "defunct franchises" section. That's because their history will be considered seperate from the new Houston team. --Scaryice 03:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

The Houston article is now at Houston MLS, it should be moved once the team gets a name. --DR31 _(talk) 14:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

It shouldn't be moved; San Jose got a Cleveland Browns type offer, and Houston is an "expansion team" in the eyes of MLS. Jjjsixsix 22:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Splitting the article

I propose we split the article into two. The NASL franchise has no connection with the MLS franchise beyond the name, so it doesn't make sense to include them in the same article. Most NASL franchises have their own articles, so the San Jose/Golden Bay Earthquakes should too. Thoughts? Objections? | Mr. Darcy talk 17:24, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The San Jose Earthquakes (NASL team) should be put back here. It should match up with other soccer pages. The Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers pages all have information about both their NASL and USL-1 teams. This page should not be an exception to the rule.

I disagree. The other examples you give were not MLS teams. Plus the articles would quickly become too long. Gateman1997 16:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Shirts

The picture of the home/away shirts, while much prettier than the hodgepodge approximations we have usually on team's websites, they are eggregiously outdated and are in serious need of update. Can someone with a little more technical skill work on this? -- Grant.Alpaugh 15:51, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

• Not sure what you mean. The jersey currently showing on this page is the brand new kits just announced in November for the coming 2008 season. Gateman1997 (talk) 02:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How many refs are needed?

How many references do we need on the "current roster" section? There are currently seven references before a single player is listed. We should need only one or two, I would think. Gentgeen (talk) 07:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
