The only people that seem to be mentioning the "Trilllium Cup" are the columbus crew players. I haven't heard one guy from TFC say a thing about this. Is it something that Columbus decided to put on the line? Where did it come from? Should we care?

The simple definition is that the Trillium Cup is something we are winning this year.

in short... a manufactured piece of MLS marketing nonsense. :D

Columbus didn't have a rival because nobody cared about their team (including their own fans) so they hoped to try and get something going between us and them.

All I can say is Montreal can't get in to the MLS fast enough.

You know what the sad thing is? That's exactly how it happened.

Garber and his cohorts needed something for people in Columbus to give a rat's ass about so they made up this useless trophy for the made-up rivalry between the two clubs.

What Toronto needs to do if we win the thing is have our players destroy it right there on the pitch and hand it back to the Crew. And I'm being absolutely serious about that.

montreal will get a team but only if the limpact owners have nothing to do with it. After Gillett sells his haft of liverpool and some of the montreal canadians then he can put a bid in for a team

On a better note, the mayors of both cities last year agreed to wear the winning teams jersey, I think Mr. Miller had to wear a Columbitch jersey for a day.

The reason its called the Trillium cup is because the Trillium is the official flower of Ontario and the official wildflower of Ohio.

That's actually the first time I've even seen a picture of it -- way better than I was expecting.

Does the Trillium have any Significance to the city of Columubs?

I know its the Official Flower of the Province of Ontario but wtf does it have to do with Columbus?

I guess this is the MLS way to create a Derby

A regular cup comes in a number of sizes to protect your you know what.

A new invention is the trillium cup, it has 3 leaves so to speak two smaller ones on the botttom and a large upright leaf that is worn by TFC fans who stand up and chant during the game. Cause we all know a Canuck will move his hand holding his beer and let the ball strike sensitive parts, cause you cannot spill beer it's against our laws and you are going to need it as a pain killer. The only exception is if you are in the US and the beer is mostly H20. No sense in crying over spillage of 'merican draft LOL.
