There is nothing like regional rivalries, and in that vein regional soccer news sites goalWA.net and INWsoccernews.com have partnered together to honor the best WPSL team in Washington State in head-to-head competition – the Evergreen Cup.

While the division standings and playoff berths will be determined by overall league play, the introduction of the Evergreen Cup will bring attention and drama to the in-state rivalries between AC Seattle, Emerald City FC, Spokane Shine and the Seattle Reign Reserves presented by Issaquah SC (SRR Issaquah). Read the announcement [+]

Final standings

Evergreen Cup was the name voted on by readers of the two news sites, and is representative of the state’s nickname. By utilizing a broader state-wide theme, any future expansion within the state will allow for easy incorporation.

Largely self-explanatory, the logo for the Evergreen Cup incorporates the colors widely attributed to the northwest region’s forestry and waterways with a hint of beige for the Palouse (wheat) and red for the Yakima Valley (apple), two of the state’s well-known agricultural producers.  The three evergreen trees are representative of the original Washington WPSL clubs that began playing one another last year – Emerald City, Issaquah SC and Spokane Shine. The Evergreen Cup trophy is an 18-inch planter adorned with the logo's primary colors, blue and green, and features inside it a small evergreen tree that the championship team can plant at a special designated place, such as the stadium, training ground or office, to recognize the team's accomplishments publicly.
