Undiscussed move
I was unsure, and it seems they started using the name Whitecaps FC in 2003, but on Wikipedia, the FC name seems to be reserved for the MLS team. We should probably discuss moves. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:45, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Currently, the other articles post-2003 all use the Whitecaps FC format. Vancouver Whitecaps (1986-2010) states "In 2001, the team began to use the old Vancouver Whitecaps moniker (signifying both the 'white caps' of the nearby mountains, and the waves of the Pacific Ocean). In 2003, the name was again changed, albeit only slightly, to Whitecaps FC." Unfortunately, no reference was provided to back this claim up. B1GLAX2 (talk) 04:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I was at the game when it was announced, but I don't recall any press releases. You might want to discuss this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football as they may have an opinion. If they don't, conflate away! Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I did some searching and the official Whitecaps site has a history section (https://www.whitecapsfc.com/history) that discusses the name. "On February 24, 2003, the Whitecaps men and Breakers women were brought under a new club structure called Whitecaps Football Club (FC), with the set-up to include an extensive youth development program." It looks like using 'FC' from 2003 on is correct but I didn't find any other sources backing this up. Do you still want to move this discussion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football?

 * 2003 seems a bit early, but if that's what the Caps want that, let's see what the project has to say. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:02, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I just added the discussion to the project if you want to contribute. B1GLAX2 (talk) 17:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
