Someone seems insistent on the logo being set at an arbitrary 0.8 for all MLS franchises (despite the fact that this produces completely different sizes when implemented). The Seattle logo, for example, appears twice as large as the TFC logo when both are set at 0.8. If sizes were all meant to be the same in the syntax, then why is there an |image_size = parameter to begin with? Beats me. I'm suggesting keeping it at 1.1 which seems to fit the width of the infobox perfectly. -- TrailBlzr ( talk) 17:36, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
MLS awarded a franchise to the club to allow them to field a first team in the league. When the article discusses the success and failure on the field, it is of a specific team. If the article discusses the success or failure of the management or organization, it's is of the "club". Anything else conflates those definitions. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 23:17, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
@ Walter Görlitz: Sometimes, I hear the word "organization" thrown in. In the context of sports, what does that mean? Does that mean the entire pyramid in Toronto FC's case? Does it mean the owners, Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment? I often hear the word "organization" refer to either sense. Johnny Au ( talk/ contributions) 00:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
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 ( talk • contribs) 10:18, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
If the club has a new logo, and we only have a raster version, it's perfectly acceptable to use. It is entirely incorrect to add this comment. Yes, a vector version is preferred, but accuracy of colour is also important. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarifications. Johnny Au ( talk/ contributions) 17:16, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Looking at the images in this and this news stories, I don't see grey in the jersey or the socks. Why is there any there at all? { https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/mls/soccer-jozy-altidore-social-justice-1.5748944 This] shows the upper portion of the kit quite well, and this and this show more silver in the kits. Is that what the grey is trying to represent? Walter Görlitz ( talk) 19:53, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
WP:FOOTY's rules are clear: if a player has played for a nation at any level, he is considered a part of that team. Just being called to a training camp does not mean the player qualify the player to be considered a player for that nation, the player needs to be capped by the nation. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football and its archives have gone through this debate multiple times (search for nationality). I have been involved in multiple debates about the topic. Since he has played for them at a the hjunior level 49 times, he is American until he steps on the field for the Canada in any capacity. Since he is not, as the CBC article states, cap-tied to the "U.S. senior side", it should be easy enough to qualify for a Canadian cap, but until that happens, he is American. If Sportsfan 1234 ( talk · contribs) slects to ignore WP:BRD again, I will alert the footy project to this discussion and let them decide. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 05:56, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
