    San Jose Earthquakes History

    San Jose was a founding member of MLS, one of the inaugural ten teams. But they weren’t the Earthquakes then. At the behest of MLS partner Nike, the team was named the San Jose Clash.

    This lasted until 1999, when the club adopted the Earthquakes name. The original San Jose Earthquakes had played from 1974 to 1998, in the NASL, MISL, and Western Soccer Alliance. For a time, this team featured the legendary George Best. San Jose became the first MLS team to revive a legacy name from the NASL. Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver later followed suit when they all moved up from USL a decade later.

    The Quakes would win MLS Cup in 2001 and 2003, and a Supporters’ Shield in 2005. However, this success did not lead to stability. At one point, a proposal was on the table to sell the team and rebrand it as San Jose América (after the Mexican club, similar to the LA expansion team Chivas USA). After the 2005 season, the AEG ownership group relocated the team to Houston, TX where they became the Dynamo.

    However, the rights to the Earthquakes’ name, colors, and history remained behind in San Jose, with the Houston team treated as an expansion club.

    Official in the MLS record books, the San Jose club was “on hiatus” from 2006-2007. The Quakes returned in 2008 as a continuation of the 1996-2005 team. Since coming back, they’ve won just one major honor, the Supporters’ Shield in 2012.

    Originally San Jose played at Spartan Stadium, on the campus of San Jose State University. When the team returned in 2008, they set up shop at the much smaller Buck Shaw Stadium until their current home, PayPal Park, was built. They’ve also played select games at nearby Levis’ Stadium (home of the NFL 49ers), Stanford Stadium, and the Oakland Coliseum (home of the Oakland – for now anyway – A’s, with whom they currently share ownership).
