Although the team has been in the league since its inaugural season (1996), it has gone through several name changes. The team was originally known as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars through 1997. From the 1998 season until right before the 2006 season, the team was known as simply the MetroStars. On March 9, 2006, it was sold to Red Bull GmbH, and the name changed to Red Bull New York. The sale of the team has been controversial among some fans of the MetroStars, similar to the situation in Austria, where Red Bull bought SV Austria Salzburg and renamed it FC Red Bull Salzburg.

History

Overview

The team plays its home matches at Giants Stadium located at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford; the headquarters are located in Secaucus. During the team's first season, the MetroStars had solid black or solid white jerseys and during all other seasons, the home jerseys had red and black vertical stripes. The MetroStars were known as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars through 1997, after which the NY/NJ part of the name was gradually phased out and then dropped altogether.

The team's best result in MLS play being the MLS Cup semifinals in 2000. In the US Open Cup, the MetroStars reached three semifinals (1997, 1998, 2000), before finally reaching their first final in 2003, losing 1-0 to the Chicago Fire.

The team's main and bitter rival is D.C. United, with whom they compete annually for the Atlantic Cup, a minor title instituted by the two teams' management that DC United has won four out of five times. During one match in 2006, former DC United player Alecko Eskandarian went to the extent of drinking Red Bull after a goal and spitting it onto the field as an intentional slight on the recently renamed Red Bulls. He was then fined by the Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee $250. ^[1] The DC United and Red Bull New York rivalry is perhaps the most embittered rivalry in all of MLS. Other rivals are the New England Revolution and the Chicago Fire.

The club's original name was Empire Soccer Club, which gave birth to the name of the team's largest supporters' group, Empire Supporters Club. Team owners John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick were executives at the company MetroMedia, leading to the inclusion of "Metro" as part of the soccer team's name.

Tab Ramos, the first player to sign with MLS, became the first MetroStar, and was soon joined by 1994 World Cup teammate Tony Meola and A.C. Milan star midfielder Roberto Donadoni. 1990 World Cup player Peter Vermes was named the first team captain, but it was the previously unknown Venezuelan Giovanni Savarese who became the Metros' first breakthrough star.

When the league began play in 1996, it was expected that the MetroStars would quickly become the league's dominant team. Despite famous players and high-profile coach, the team never seemed to gel.

The team continued to flounder season after season. The combination of talented players and insipid play earned the team the sobriquet, RotMasters, from Paul Gardner, a curmudgeonly columnist at SoccerAmerica. Gardner coined the name by rearranging the letters spelling MetroStars. Soccer America Magazine is a weekly magazine devoted to soccer founded in the early 1970s and still being published. ...

Starting in 1998, the team stopped referring to itself NY/NJ, but it took a few years for the media and fans to catch up. The team went by just MetroStars, with no city or state attached to it, a rarity in American sports.

In 2000 MetroStars dropped the bombshell by acquiring German International player Lothar Matthäus from Bayern München. Matthäus played in 16 MLS fixtures during the season and his tenure in USA is considered a disappointment.

2001-2005

Despite their poor domestic record, the MetroStars became the first (and at this point, only) MLS team to win a trophy outside of North American soil, a 2004 victory in La Manga Cup ^[8].

Red Bull takeover (2006-2007)

When Red Bull purchased the MetroStars in 2006^{[10] [11]}, it decided to completely re-brand the franchise, changing the name, colors, and logo. The team's purchase by Red Bull generated controversy among some fans of the MetroStars, not dissimilar to the situation in Austria, where Red Bull bought SV Austria Salzburg and renamed it Red Bull Salzburg. While some fans were disappointed with the loss of Metro identity, others found fault in corporate branding, or with labeling the franchise as New York, when it plays and is headquartered in New Jersey. Some fans even went to the extent of leaving the team. Letters to the Red Bulls ownership show their indifference to what former fans thought of the name change^{[citation needed]}. Other fans have accepted the change, in light of the MetroStars' lack of success on the field, and waning support in the stands. In 2006 the Red Bulls managed to defeat German powerhouse Bayern Munich 4–2 in a friendly game in Giants Stadium which was a sign of progress.^[12] FC Bayern Munich (German: FC Bayern München) is a German football club based in Munich, the capital of the state of Bavaria. ...

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber has stated that a second franchise in the New York area can come "as early as 2010, but not before that."^{[citation needed]} Whether that new team will be known as the MetroStars, and whether it would inherit the team's pre-2006 history from the New York Red Bulls, is not known, but seems unlikely since Red Bull has announced that it will acknowledge MetroStars history from the team's inception, regarding the New York Red Bulls as a continuation of that history and not a separate franchise. Despite the claim, the Red Bull New York media guide claims that the club was founded in 2006^[13].

After a disappointing world-cup run, Bruce Arena immediately helped the new Red Bulls. They made it to the playoffs and after a late goal by Jozy Altidore seemed they could go further.

Former Chicago Fire and Millonarios coach Juan Carlos Osorio was announced as the new coach of the Red Bulls. He has wanted to come back to New York because of his family and friends located in New York. "This is without a doubt one of the most proud moments for me, to be back in New York with all my family and friends," Osorio said. "Since 2001, when I left for Manchester City I always made it my goal to come back to MLS as head coach of the New York Red Bulls. Today, I've been given that opportunity, and I'm extremely proud and extremely pleased." Juan Carlos Osorio (born June 8, 1961 in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda), is a Colombian football (soccer) manager. ...

2008-A New Beginning

Since the preseason, Juan Carlos Osorio has looked into acquiring a new defender to improve the defense which is one of the team's weak areas. These players include Guillermo Imhoff, Mario Yepes, Lider Marmol, Chris Innes, Ernst Obster, Sebastian Garcia, many of whom have already had trials with the club. The April 15th transfer window has passed, so the earliest any of these players may be acquired is in the summertime. The Red Bulls have $3 million in salary cap space and Osorio has made getting these reinforcements a high priority so far during his tenure.
