Ubiparipovic is Bosnian-born ("Ubiparipovic, a 5'9", 155-pound 23-year-old from Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the 2006 MAC Player of the Year": http://redbull.newyork.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20070112&content_id=81737&vkey=pr_rbn&fext=.jsp&team=t107) but has a green card ("would be a Youth International for only one season in MLS, except that he has a green card" http://www.matchnight.com/scouting/player.cfm?&RosterID=2533). Hence his flag should be Bosnian, not US. DR31 ( talk) 20:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I have something to claim they are incorrect: Ubiparipovic was born in Bosnia and carries a green card per _MY_ discussions with RBNY. He is not American! To claim he is just wrong. If you need further proof where he was born, how about: "When Sinisa Ubiparipovic came to the United States in 1999, he had seen more adversity in his first 15 years than any young athlete should have to. Born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ubiparipovic and his family fled to Belgrade and then eventually to the U.S. to escape the war that had torn apart their country for years." Just because someone lives in Ohio, doesn't make them American. The reason why Richards' hometown is listed as Jamaica is because he still lives there; Ubiparipovic's family no longer lives in Bosnia, as the article above shows.

Red Bull New York → New York Red Bulls — This has been annoying me since I started editing MLS articles, so figured I'd run a move request on this article. Per WP:NC(CN) the most common name for a subject is what should be used as the article title. In this case the common name for the team is New York Red Bulls. Red Bull New York is the name of the entity that owns and operates the team and the subject of the article covers the history of the team from before RBNY purchased the team (or even existed for that matter). The first sentence of the article even says that the team's name is New York Red Bulls. A google search for "New York Red Bulls" returns 850,000 hits, while a search for "Red Bull New York" returns only 102,000. I think and 8 to 1 google hit ration is a pretty good indicator that NYRB is the common name for the team, not RBNY. — Bobblehead (rants) 17:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

. Since
polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's naming conventions.The supporters section is a bit fragmented and could use a rewrite. Since this was an edit that was larger than I would normally make I thought some discussion was appropriate. I was considering the following "A variety of supporters clubs and groups have grown around the team since it's inaugural year. The first of these was formed in 1995, prior to the inception of the team itself, as the Empire Supporters Club. In February 2005 a second supporters' group took the name MetroNation. After the purchase and rebranding of the team by Red Bull in 2006, MetroNation renamed itself the Raging Bull Nation as a sign of its' continued support for the club. The same year saw the creation of the New Jersey based Garden State Supporters. The groundbreaking for Red Bull Arena in 2007 saw the birth the Kearny Army, a supporters group from the surrounding neighborhoods. Among remaining lesser known supporters clubs are the Cobra Kai Metro Firm, Sparta Metro Firm and The First Row Idiots.
Red Bull New York has designated some sections of Red Bull Arena as supporter specific. These included sections 101 and 102 for the Empire Supporters Club and section 133 for the Garden State Supporters.
In the winter of 2001 the fan and media website MetroFanatic.com was established and continues to host an active fan community."
Appropriate current links/references listed on the page would be maintained. Anyone care to offer input? Adiamas ( talk) 19:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

New Article: 2010 Barclays New York Challenge Antoinefcb ( talk) 14:47, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Is there any reason to list them as the conference champions in 2008 when we already have them liste as the MLS Cup runners up. This is especially true given that some seasons such as 2001 did not have the idea of conference champions (post season).
If anything it might make sense to mention that they were regular season champions of a division, but even then that's not really official. There's no real parallel in other soccer leagues. We don't list Group A/Group B/Group C champions on the Mexican team pages.
I'd like to hear your thoughts, I think there are four options:
a) list regular season division champions (not really official)
b) list post-season division champions (repeats info covered under runners up, and does not exist for each year)
c) list both (status quo)
d) list neither (most logical option, at least for me)
FYI, I've put links on team talk pages to centralize the discussion here.
Nlsanand ( talk) 03:45, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Just to expound on my edit summaries, it is a quirk of American English that sports teams seem exempt from the usual convention of groups getting a singular verb, especially if the team has a nickname that is a plural noun (as most teams do). The exception is when the city/state/school/other geographic designator is used as short hand for the team name.
So, to use an example from the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers are an NBA team. The Lakers play their home games at the Staple Center. Los Angeles is the defending NBA champion.
This applies to MLS teams as well, as seen in this 2010 MLS playoff preview from The New York Times here. oknazevad ( talk) 02:06, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Having a similar Red Bulls vs Galaxy photo in two sections is redundant. Can we get something that really symbolizes the takeover? Like some executive or player holding up the new scarf or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.221.37 ( talk) 05:04, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Whoever is running this article treats it like a personal fiefdom, making up all sorts of fake rules and immediately undoing any edit. Don't forget, Wikipedia is a PUBLIC forum; it's not meant to be run like a medieval polity. Case in point is my attempt to add Teemu Tainio to the list of players training with the team in preseason. Whoever holds the keys to this article has stated--without any backing or authority--that players not on the current roster are not allowed to be listed on the site. Yet the wiki pages of some other MLS teams include a separate section dedicated to trialists and and unsigned players. Here's an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporting_Kansas_City. So my request is that A) people stop micromanaging this article and making up fake rules, and B) that we, in fact, add a sub-section for the numerous players who are trialing with the team. --pavlovscat567 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.48.187 ( talk) 07:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Apparently "it has been decided" not to list "Metro(s)" as a nickname for this team. I can't find a reason for this decision anywhere, and even if I could, it would be wrong. A large proportion of the fanbase still refers to the team as "Metro" as can be heard in many of the chants at Red Bull Arena. Do you want a citation or something? Iggi ( talk) 12:52, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

http://www.espnfc.com/news/story?id=361322&cc=5901 This ESPN article says that the team dropped the New York/New Jersey part of its name before the beginning of the 2003 season, while we have it marked at 1998 here.

Though this is notable it seems that this section violates Wikipedia:Recentism. Taking into the account of how many managers this club has had in their history and probably the unfamiliarity of the fan base with other major sports (see Billy Martin five times as manager of the New York Yankees) that this is more common then perceived. -- SimpleStitch ( talk) 15:07, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Walter Görlitz, I think this falls under WP:UNDUE because this organized revolt represents a fraction of the fan base. It's not like 25,000 season ticket holders walked out. And I am also not convinced that Wikipedia Neutrality is being adhered to since the section is in the #2 slot? Above Colors and Badge, Stadium, etc.? Look at the Controversy section (and this is an opinionated one-sided controversy section) of any notable figure and that section resides last in the order. Look at O.J. Simpson, his legal troubles start in section #7 and I bet anything more people remember him for the murder acquittal then football. Plus, like I mentioned, this Red Bull Out movement is all about anger because of Mike Petke being fired. Case in point, the History sub-section for 2013-2014 is titled Mike Petke Era, while curiously the 2010-2012 section is not called the Hans Backe Era, even though he was the only manager during this time. -- SimpleStitch ( talk) 01:28, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure that either "Red Bulls" or "Metros" are nicknames. The first is simply as shortened version of the club's name while the second is the club's former name. If you look at Manchester United F.C.'s nickname, The Red Devils, it's an actual nickname. They could have Man U, which they are frequently called, but it's just a shortened version of the club's name. Similarly Real Madrid C.F., Los Blancos (The Whites) Los Merengues (The Meringues) Los Vikingos (The Vikings). Maybe they should be removed. 208.81.212.222 ( talk) 18:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Should be New York Red Bulls is, or New York Red Bulls are?
Looking at the differences between American English and British English page, it has 'The Seahawks are the champions', the other MLS pages seem to use 'are'. Which is correct? Red Jay ( talk) 15:36, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

The New York Red Bulls (and other MLS teams) follow a season structure not un-similar to other American sports. That being there is a regular season, with teams divided into separate conferences, where the best finishing teams from each conference qualify for a post-season tournament. The "playoff champions" of each conference are given a trophy and a berth in the MLS Cup. There are already separate pages for each MLS conference (see Eastern Conference (MLS) and Western Conference (MLS)) that track the info for regular season and playoff champions. Both the league, federation, and legitimate press outlets have recognized teams, including the New York Red Bulls, for these wins.
MLS officially recognizes regular season conferences winners and uses this titles to determine which team gets into the Concacaf Champions League. The Red Bulls have monuments to the conference victory, were given a trophy, and were reported on as "Conference champions." [4] [5] Major League Soccer has also previously cited the Red Bulls as regular season and playoff champions in previous "season recaps" prior to them ceasing to write those in the late 2010s. [6]
It seems clear that New York should follow the same precedent set by other U.S. Sports teams and recognize how MLS awards both trophies and international competition spots. ColeTrain4EVER ( talk) 18:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.The supporters section is a bit fragmented and could use a rewrite. Since this was an edit that was larger than I would normally make I thought some discussion was appropriate. I was considering the following "A variety of supporters clubs and groups have grown around the team since it's inaugural year. The first of these was formed in 1995, prior to the inception of the team itself, as the Empire Supporters Club. In February 2005 a second supporters' group took the name MetroNation. After the purchase and rebranding of the team by Red Bull in 2006, MetroNation renamed itself the Raging Bull Nation as a sign of its' continued support for the club. The same year saw the creation of the New Jersey based Garden State Supporters. The groundbreaking for Red Bull Arena in 2007 saw the birth the Kearny Army, a supporters group from the surrounding neighborhoods. Among remaining lesser known supporters clubs are the Cobra Kai Metro Firm, Sparta Metro Firm and The First Row Idiots.
Red Bull New York has designated some sections of Red Bull Arena as supporter specific. These included sections 101 and 102 for the Empire Supporters Club and section 133 for the Garden State Supporters.
In the winter of 2001 the fan and media website MetroFanatic.com was established and continues to host an active fan community."
Appropriate current links/references listed on the page would be maintained. Anyone care to offer input? Adiamas ( talk) 19:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Is there any reason to list them as the conference champions in 2008 when we already have them liste as the MLS Cup runners up. This is especially true given that some seasons such as 2001 did not have the idea of conference champions (post season).
If anything it might make sense to mention that they were regular season champions of a division, but even then that's not really official. There's no real parallel in other soccer leagues. We don't list Group A/Group B/Group C champions on the Mexican team pages.
I'd like to hear your thoughts, I think there are four options:
a) list regular season division champions (not really official)
b) list post-season division champions (repeats info covered under runners up, and does not exist for each year)
c) list both (status quo)
d) list neither (most logical option, at least for me)
FYI, I've put links on team talk pages to centralize the discussion here.

Just to expound on my edit summaries, it is a quirk of American English that sports teams seem exempt from the usual convention of groups getting a singular verb, especially if the team has a nickname that is a plural noun (as most teams do). The exception is when the city/state/school/other geographic designator is used as short hand for the team name.
So, to use an example from the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers are an NBA team. The Lakers play their home games at the Staple Center. Los Angeles is the defending NBA champion.
This applies to MLS teams as well, as seen in this 2010 MLS playoff preview from The New York Times here. oknazevad ( talk) 02:06, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Having a similar Red Bulls vs Galaxy photo in two sections is redundant. Can we get something that really symbolizes the takeover? Like some executive or player holding up the new scarf or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.221.37 ( talk) 05:04, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Whoever is running this article treats it like a personal fiefdom, making up all sorts of fake rules and immediately undoing any edit. Don't forget, Wikipedia is a PUBLIC forum; it's not meant to be run like a medieval polity. Case in point is my attempt to add Teemu Tainio to the list of players training with the team in preseason. Whoever holds the keys to this article has stated--without any backing or authority--that players not on the current roster are not allowed to be listed on the site. Yet the wiki pages of some other MLS teams include a separate section dedicated to trialists and and unsigned players. Here's an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporting_Kansas_City. So my request is that A) people stop micromanaging this article and making up fake rules, and B) that we, in fact, add a sub-section for the numerous players who are trialing with the team. --pavlovscat567 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.48.187 ( talk) 07:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Apparently "it has been decided" not to list "Metro(s)" as a nickname for this team. I can't find a reason for this decision anywhere, and even if I could, it would be wrong. A large proportion of the fanbase still refers to the team as "Metro" as can be heard in many of the chants at Red Bull Arena. Do you want a citation or something?

There was a discussion about the new roster format and we have had a trial at both the Timbers and Whitecaps articles and recently Cascadia Cup rival Sounders have converted. The idea is to move all club articles on Wikipedia to the new format as is discussed in the original discussion and more recently at the football project.
My suggestion is to complete the MLS team articles first, so if you could respond at this discussion, that would be ideal. In short, the new layout is slightly taller and less wide, but it correctly impliments WP:MOSFLAG and is better for visually impared users of Wikipedia and others who use readers. I plan to implement the change to this article by the weekend of January 20-22, however other editors could make the change sooner. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

http://www.espnfc.com/news/story?id=361322&cc=5901 This ESPN article says that the team dropped the New York/New Jersey part of its name before the beginning of the 2003 season, while we have it marked at 1998 here.

Though this is notable it seems that this section violates Wikipedia:Recentism. Taking into the account of how many managers this club has had in their history and probably the unfamiliarity of the fan base with other major sports (see Billy Martin five times as manager of the New York Yankees) that this is more common then perceived. -- SimpleStitch ( talk) 15:07, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi Walter Görlitz, I think this falls under WP:UNDUE because this organized revolt represents a fraction of the fan base. It's not like 25,000 season ticket holders walked out. And I am also not convinced that Wikipedia Neutrality is being adhered to since the section is in the #2 slot? Above Colors and Badge, Stadium, etc.? Look at the Controversy section (and this is an opinionated one-sided controversy section) of any notable figure and that section resides last in the order. Look at O.J. Simpson, his legal troubles start in section #7 and I bet anything more people remember him for the murder acquittal then football. Plus, like I mentioned, this Red Bull Out movement is all about anger because of Mike Petke being fired. Case in point, the History sub-section for 2013-2014 is titled Mike Petke Era, while curiously the 2010-2012 section is not called the Hans Backe Era, even though he was the only manager during this time. -- SimpleStitch ( talk) 01:28, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure that either "Red Bulls" or "Metros" are nicknames. The first is simply as shortened version of the club's name while the second is the club's former name. If you look at Manchester United F.C.'s nickname, The Red Devils, it's an actual nickname. They could have Man U, which they are frequently called, but it's just a shortened version of the club's name. Similarly Real Madrid C.F., Los Blancos (The Whites) Los Merengues (The Meringues) Los Vikingos (The Vikings). Maybe they should be removed. 208.81.212.222 ( talk) 18:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Should be New York Red Bulls is, or New York Red Bulls are?
Looking at the differences between American English and British English page, it has 'The Seahawks are the champions', the other MLS pages seem to use 'are'. Which is correct? Red Jay ( talk) 15:36, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

The New York Red Bulls (and other MLS teams) follow a season structure not un-similar to other American sports. That being there is a regular season, with teams divided into separate conferences, where the best finishing teams from each conference qualify for a post-season tournament. The "playoff champions" of each conference are given a trophy and a berth in the MLS Cup. There are already separate pages for each MLS conference (see Eastern Conference (MLS) and Western Conference (MLS)) that track the info for regular season and playoff champions. Both the league, federation, and legitimate press outlets have recognized teams, including the New York Red Bulls, for these wins.
MLS officially recognizes regular season conferences winners and uses this titles to determine which team gets into the Concacaf Champions League. The Red Bulls have monuments to the conference victory, were given a trophy, and were reported on as "Conference champions." [4] [5] Major League Soccer has also previously cited the Red Bulls as regular season and playoff champions in previous "season recaps" prior to them ceasing to write those in the late 2010s. [6]
It seems clear that New York should follow the same precedent set by other U.S. Sports teams and recognize how MLS awards both trophies and international competition spots. ColeTrain4EVER ( talk) 18:10, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
