Team History
A founding MLS betting stats team in the Western Conference, the San Jose Earthquakes stats began play in 1996 and were part of the first game in MLS history. The club defeated D.C. United 1-0 in that game before more than 30,000 people at Spartan Stadium, the home of the San Jose State University football program.
After a solid debut season, San Jose Earthquakes betting had a dismal follow-up in 1997 and 1998, but turned things around at the turn of the 21st century and won MLS Cups in 2001 and 2003.
San Jose Earthquakes’ kit has changed considerably over the years, especially in its first five seasons. The team’s home kit first featured black shorts with a white and yellow jersey, following which it switched to white shorts and a green jersey for 1997 and 1998. It went all black in 1999 and has been some form of blue, black, and white since the 2000 season. It wore red as part of its away kit for a brief period in 2014 and 2017.
The team’s primary rivals is the LA Galaxy due to obvious geographical reasons. They played in the 2001 MLS Cup and both clubs combined to win four MLS Cups from 2001 to 2005.
