I couldn't find a way to report an IR on the team page so I'm posting here.

The TID is Hitachi Kashiwa Reysol (4054). The team was never called that and I understand that Hitachi is clearly posted on their chest, but we don't call FC Barcelona - Qatar Airlines Barcelona.

The team was originally called Hitachi, Ltd. Soccer Club known as Hitachi SC until 1992. It changed its name officially in 1993 to Kashiwa Reysol.

Kashiwa Reysol does not have a TID. I understand I can link to the existing TID but that will not pick up all the cards listed like an alias does on PIDs. Didn't find any details in the FAQ on how to address.

Thoughts? Directions?

Thanks

Technically it should be the other way around. The TID should be Hitachi SC or Kashiwa Reysol with other variations of the name linked to the main TID.

For future reference, you can submit an IR as "Other" if you can't find the right category or are unsure

My only input is that TIDs can't link variations like the player pages can - that's why we get the Cincinnati Reds separate from the Cincinnati Redlegs. So you might need to have multiple PIDs added to account for any name changes.

As Bowersbird mentioned, any change to the team name makes it a new listing (new TID).  Recent examples include the Cleveland Indians/Cleveland Guardians and Washington Redskins/Washington Commanders.

The Team Page does not have a "Report any Inaccuracies" option so you are unable to report it unless you go to an individual card. Then yes, I could report as Other.

The Cleveland or Cincinnati examples are different because they were actual teams with those names. In this case Hitachi SC was the team and then became Kashiwa Reysol. Hitachi SC was in Kodaira so it was even a different city before it moved to Kashiwa. Hitachi Kashiwa Reysol was never the name of the team. I'll use the Barcelona example again. If cards were tagged with a TID for Qatar Barcelona would we fix it or leave them?

It sounds like I would need to make a separate TID for Kashiwa Reysol to deal with unknown # of cards with Kashiwa Reysol but then having 1,077 cards with Hitachi Kashiwa Reysol that would need to be corrected or left incorrect?

Because I am blind and read over where you said you were on the team page itself....

The baseball example was to explain that name variations mean that a new TID page must be created, I wasn't trying to say that the TID you mentioned was actually right or not. If you think the only existing TID is misnamed, using the "Contact Us" link to report the error to Admin would be my suggestion. Provide the URL for the TID and explain what that one should be renamed to. Then if any cards exist using the other team name, submit an IR on a specific card to have someone create the second TID, and then cards can be moved between the two as needed.

If anyone has a better idea, please chime in. But I think alerting Admin is the best/only way I can think of fixing a misnamed team.

It is, especially if it involved a large number of cards.

Perfect. That was the direction I was looking for. I will contact Admin with this and see how they would like to handle.  
thanks for your input and suggestions 

I sent Admin a message regarding this a week ago and haven’t had any response. Not even acknowledging receipt.
