MLS - San Jose Earthquake - Win Pin

San Jose Earthquakes introduced the Win Pin in 2010. After each Earthquake home victory a Win Pin is distributed to the faithful fans, as they exit Buck Shaw Stadium.Based on the Richter scale the first pin is marked 1.0, each subsequent win brings the number up to match the number of home victories. As part of the promotion the pins are accepted at select retail and restaurants for discounts.

The Pins appeared at the Earthquake home opener March 27, 2010. Unfortunately the Earthquake lost to Real Salt Lake 3-0. The Earthquake finished in 8th place (6th in the Western Conference) with a record of 13 – 10 – 7.

2016 - The Impossible Win - the black and blue stunned one of the top teams in MLS, Toronto FC, on 2016-July-16. Down not one, but TWO men due to Godoy & Quintero red cards, the crowd got behind the boys who fought back from a 1-1 draw to win the game 2-1 through a Simon Dawkins strike sending the Avaya Stadium crowd into a frenzy and is referred to as the club’s Most Improbable Win Ever.

Then-president Dave Kaval issued a challenge to Quake fans to come up with a design that would be featured on a “win pin” and given out to fans at Avaya Stadium. Design by Matt Vasquez
