When the dust settled over Columbus, Ohio, the Columbus Crew emerged from its matchup with Nashville SC on Sunday night in the MLS Cup playoffs wearing the bright yellow kit the Crew has become known for in the club’s 25 years of existence. The expansion side, Nashville, had merely adopted the yellow, but the Crew was born in it.
As if showing up and stealing Columbus’ beloved colors wasn’t enough, the fans of Nashville began to call themselves “Massive.” And massive they were, until they got hit by the bright yellow massive bus that is the Crew.
