Proposing we remove the graphic of the 6 MLS logos. Although it comes from an official source, I think whoever at the league made is incorrect about their own history. The graphic implies that in 2012 the league changed its primary logo from green and blue to a black and white. They did use a B&W logo on their social media and minor website graphics, but it was not a change to the official primary logo. Team jerseys, balls, television, media guides (and other non-marketing print materials), etc. all continued to use the green/blue logo right up until 2014/15 logo change. |

Also, the graphic implies 1996, 2000, and 2008 logos were new versions replacing the ones prior. But actually the league used logos between '96 and '08 with ''and'' without the full spelling along side the 3 letter abbreviation. The only real logo change in this period was in 2000 when it got a minor tweak – there were no changes in 2008 and 2012. --[[User:Blackbox77|Blackbox77]] ([[User talk:Blackbox77|talk]]) 18:13, 2 April 2015 (UTC) |

Los Angeles MLS team
Went ahead and made the article for the Los Angeles MLS team. You can start contributing with what is already know. Treyvo (talk) 15:35, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
The notation of Chivas USA should be removed from the map. They are no longer an active team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.90.34 (talk) 16:10, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- I removed the text label from the map template, so Chivas isn't listed anymore, but the underlying graphic with the second dot for Chivas needs to be updated. I expect it will be soon to account for the NYCFC and Orlando expansion teams, but I'm not savvy enough to do that myself. oknazevad (talk) 20:38, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Their removal from the map is premature. That's the map for the 2014 season and technically, we're still in it. Also, Chivas still exists. Although this is fighting against a raging river so I won't oppose any additional premature edits like it, but still find it ignorant. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:52, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- "Effective immediately, Chivas USA will cease operations." No, Chivas does not still exist. Nothing premature about reporting accurately that they are finished. It may still be the 2014 playoffs, but that's as categorical of a statement from the league as one can get. oknazevad (talk) 18:31, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

The sequence of numbers in the "Rank" Column is wrong for a couple of the tables in the section "Player Records". The rank column was not correctly updated for tables that included tied rankings.
This table is wrong:
Rank | Player | Season | Goals |
---|---|---|---|
1 | ![]() |
1996 | 27 |
![]() |
2012 | ||
![]() |
2014 | ||
4 | ![]() |
2000 | 26 |
![]() |
1998 | ||
6 | ![]() |
2002 | 24 |
7 | ![]() |
1996 | 23 |
![]() |
2002 | ||
9 | ![]() |
2014 | 22 |
![]() |
2013 |
Instead, it should be:
Rank | Player | Season | Goals |
---|---|---|---|
1 | ![]() |
1996 | 27 |
![]() |
2012 | ||
![]() |
2014 | ||
2 | ![]() |
2000 | 26 |
![]() |
1998 | ||
3 | ![]() |

Somewhat related, for formatting consistency, the "Shutouts" table should probably also use spanned rows for the Rank and count columns where it's tied for 9th place

Not done for now: I believe we do use Standard competition ranking. Correct me if I'm wrong. Sam Sing! 13:37, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. If two players stand with the same record, then the next placement is as though there were player in each place. So it's not three tied for first and then two for second, it's three tied for first and the next place is fourth. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:12, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Somewhat related, for formatting consistency, the "Shutouts" table should probably also use spanned rows for the Rank and Shutouts columns where it's tied for 9th place.
Should also use spanned rows in the rank and count columns in a similar way for consistency in the subsequent section "Player records (active)", where there are currently ties in the ranks for both assists and shutouts.

Team names
In the section called "Team names" (under the Organization header) Miami Fusion FC is described as an "original team" however they were a 1998 expansion club along with the Chicago Fire, weren't they? Just my two cents but it seems like that should be rephrased. Cheers to all. -Creativewill (talk) 15:48, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
List of Major League Soccer stadiums
The list of Major League Soccer stadiums needs some attention. I'm working on the map. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

@Walter Görlitz: Here is the guidance from WP:NUMNOTES:
- Avoid beginning a sentence with figures:
- • Not There were many attacks. 23 men were killed, but There were many attacks; 23 men were killed or There were many attacks. Twenty-three men were killed.
