Biography
Formation
Red Bull New York, originally established as the Empire Soccer Club, was founded in October 1994 and began its journey in Major League Soccer (MLS) during the league's inaugural season in 1996 as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. The name MetroStars was chosen to reflect the media company Metromedia, founded by the club's original owners, John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick. The team quickly made headlines by signing notable players, including Tab Ramos, the first player to sign with MLS, and 1994 FIFA World Cup star Tony Meola.
Early Years and Challenges
The MetroStars faced a rocky start, including a bizarre incident during the 1996 MLS Supplemental Draft where they mistakenly led fans to believe they had drafted famous Brazilian players Juninho and Túlio, only to reveal that they had not. Despite these challenges, the team saw its first breakthrough star in Giovanni Savarese, who captured the hearts of fans. The first coach, Eddie Firmani, brought experience from his time with the New York Cosmos, setting a competitive tone for the club.
Transition to Red Bull
In 2006, the franchise underwent a significant transformation when it was sold to Red Bull GmbH, leading to a rebranding as Red Bull New York. This change was part of Red Bull's strategy to create a global network of soccer clubs. The team has since competed in the MLS as a member of the Eastern Conference and has achieved notable success, including winning the Supporters' Shield, a testament to their competitive spirit and growth in American soccer.

Career & Clubs
MetroStars era
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. The team's original owners were John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick. The name MetroStars was chosen in reference to Metromedia, the media company founded by Kluge, after Nike's original suggestion "MetroFlash" was rejected. The owners also considered but rejected buying the rights to the name "Cosmos". Tab Ramos, the first player to sign with MLS, became the first MetroStars player, and was soon joined by 1994 FIFA 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. The team's first coach was Eddie Firmani of New York Cosmos fame. In 1996, the MetroStars made news when they selected players named Juninho and Túlio in the 1996 MLS Supplemental Draft. This report set off an immediately positive reaction which was quickly crushed after the MetroStars revealed that they had not actually drafted well-known Brazilian players Juninho Paulista and Túlio Costa, as people had assumed. The MetroStars waived both draftees on March 25, 1996. While the identity of "Juninho" was later discovered, the true name and club history of "Tulio" remains unknown. This bizarre episode has entered MetroStars folk lore. When the league…
