    As NYCFC join the league, a budding rivalry with NYRB should be on the cards...

    What's the best suggestion, to move the rivalries forward? There could be several options:
    • The Atlantic Cup to be expanded to 3 teams with NYCFC, NYRB & DCU
    • The Atlantic Cup to be expanded to all I-95 MLS teams
    • A new Rivalry Cup with just NYRB will do
    • A new Rivalry Cup is not necessary
    • Any other suggestions?
    What say you? ;)

    In general, I think rivalry cups are silly - let the game speak for itself and the rivalry develop naturally.

    But if you had a RBN vs NYCFC, I'd go with the Empire Cup

    At some point there will be a nyc/RB cup thing but not until the fans of those teams care. I notice with all the passion Philly fans for example, still nothing has been created, going on 5 years. Maybe not meant to be.

    The only trophies that matter are SS, USOC, and MLS Cup.. All others are like participation trophies.

    I think most of the top mls rivalries are a result of big/important matches, especially in the playoffs, plus some on and off the field shenanigans. LA Seattle is getting big, sj v la, nyrb-dcu started with a lot of metro playoff defeats. The NYRB-NYC rivalry will be interesting since you will likley have fans from the same neighborhood supporting different teams. Dont think a cup is needed, just need a few meaningful matches where some type of elimination is on the line.

    NYRB have already won the New York / Hudson River Derby, upon winning the first 2 of 3 match-ups this season.

    Will NYCFC pull one back on Aug-9 at RBA? On their red hot form now, won't rule that out... ;)
