Not sure I would use that as a barometer. I live in NY and can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing Red Bulls or NYCFC stuff, but I do know people who are fans and attend/watch games. See plenty of people wearing stuff from European teams.Last week I spent several days in Boston and the number of people with Revolution gear was ZERO. It was all about Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics. It is incredible how irrelevant is Boston's soccer club in its home market.
Apart from the buses that say ’Soccah’ and the odd advert in a T stop I agree, completely irrelevant in Boston.Last week I spent several days in Boston and the number of people with Revolution gear was ZERO.

130.000 viewers for exclusive game of the week....Woow.
On a Spanish language channel that isn't available to most of the country.
You are wrong. It was on Fox Sports 1.

That’s because Orlando City isn’t any good.I enjoyed going to Red Bull’s games but they are largely irrelevant too in the NY/NJ market which is crazy considering this area is a soccer hotbed. NYCFC had some buzz when they first entered the league but that seems to have died down and their TV deal is awful (barely any games are shown live on YES, Red Bulls are on MSG which has no competition in the summer)
I recently moved to the Orlando area and the team gets good coverage on TV and print media, helps that there is little sports competition, but I have seen their attendance is dipping year to year
I truly believe the Red Bulls branding severely hurts the Red Bulls chance to really build that brand in New York City far more than having a stadium in New Jersey does.
For a city that tends to view itself as the greatest city on Earth, having a team named after a ****ty energy drink from Austria just doesn't add up.

Red Bull is actually a marketing company who happen to be known, among other things, for the drink.
I'm failing to see how being named after a marketing company is any better than being named after an energy drink company.
What does Red Bull do other than make drinks and own sports/racing teams & events?
It's a drink company.
You can spin NYCFC as being named after NYC. And if they ever sell they can still keep the identity.I'm failing to see how being named after a marketing company is any better than being named after an energy drink company.
The massively successful drink underwrites all the other BS too.
