The record for the highest % of Blowout Combs was 8.228% (=13/158), set in 2001. 20 more Combs will be needed for the rest of 2014 to break this record (for a total of 27+ Combs). The 2014 "Comb Standings", through July-23: Legends: CS# = Comb Standings Ranking AS# = Actual Shield Ranking Diff = AS# - CS# A high number means a team would have gained better ranking, if the Supporters' Shield were awarded base on Blowout Combs, and vice versa.

With quick reference to the season-by-season archives, the "Honors" belong to Chivas USA of 2012 , with a CT (Comb Total) of 6 at 0 CF (Combs For) & 6 CA (Combs Against). "Trailing" closely in 2nd-place is L.A. of 1998 (@Hachiko), with a CT of 5 (5 CF, 0 CA). There are a few teams in Joint-3rd, with a CT of 4: - 2013 L.A. (3 CF, 1 CA) - 1997 Tampa Bay (2 CF, 2 CA) - 2001 Tampa Bay (0 CF, 4 CA) - 2013 Chivas USA (0 CF, 4 CA) The city of Los Angeles is undoubtedly the "Home of Blowout Combs".
Co-incidentally, the heaviest defeat of MLS All Stars Teams came from Man Utd too, a 0-4 Comb in 2011. It was a near-blownout in 2010 as well, losing 2-5. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer_All-Star_Game

Was hoping to see a Blowout Comb, after L.A. went 3-0 up vs Seattle after 36 minutes on July-28: http://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2014-07-28-seattle-sounders-fc-vs-la-galaxy/boxscore But alas, it was not to be, better luck in the next game(s)...
