United by the Numbers

Did you know that we’ve had two players with the last name Williams? How bout three players with a last name that starts with “Z”? The all-time alphabetical roster is available now! www.unitedbythenumbers.com/all-time-ros...

Watching this for the four billionth time

Last three #USL regular season and playoff finishes for @newmexicoutd.bsky.social: 2024 - first place (eliminated in Western Conference Semifinals at home by Dennis Sanchez and Las Vegas Lights) 2025 - second place (eliminated in Western Conference Final at FC Tulsa) 2026 - first place (???)

Every night is Blackout Night for Dennis Sanchez

Kickoff grito should be every game, that was fantastic. @newmexicoutd.bsky.social #SomosUnidos

United by the Numbers is a thing because of incredible stories like Tyler Blackett’s (#24). If you’re into learning about the personal significance of uniform numbers, you’re gonna really dig this one. ubtn.substack.com/p/numerology...

New Mexico United's Niall Reid-Stephen with an assist and a goal in the span of three minutes to put Barbados ahead 2-1 against Guadeloupe in #CNL League B. About 10 minutes to go on Fox Sports on Tubi. ##SomosUnidos #USL-C

New Mexico United will be without Niall Reid-Stephen and Zico Bailey during FIFA's international window as the club chases the top spot in the Western Conference. Other USL Championship teams are dealing with the same thing.

What happens behind the scenes when a player is out of contract? Marlon Vargas (#8 and #18) shed some light on his experience in 2024 in the time between his loan from Colorado Rapids 2 ending and his re-signing with New Mexico United. #USL-C #NewMexicoUnited www.instagram.com/reel/DdsOVxB...

A really nice revisit to the genesis of this club and what it still means to all of us eight years on.

Revisit every @newmexicoutd.bsky.social Magic Minute goal with your coffee this morning. ☕️ ubtn.substack.com/p/magical-mo... #NewMexicoUnited #USL-C #SomosUnidos

Niko Hämäläinen’s (#2) long and winding road leads him to New Mexico. ubtn.substack.com/p/the-travel...

I interviewed Niko Hämäläinen (#2) recently and have a new piece dropping tomorrow detailing the many stops in his fascinating career. You can subscribe to the Substack for free at ubtn.substack.com. Hasta mañana!

Charlie Dennis (#14) is the 105th player to appear in a match for New Mexico United. He’s the 121st player overall. There have been 16 players in the club’s history who didn’t make, or haven’t yet made, an appearance.

And because Andrew is more of (as much of?) a psychopath as I am, this project is almost complete.

Marlon Vargas (#8 and #18) could’ve been the first player in New Mexico United history to wear three(!!!) different uniform numbers, but it is confirmed that he will resume his tenure in the #8. One day, fam. One day. Regardless, welcome back, Marlon! www.newmexicoutd.com/news/2026/09...

My thoughts on the heartwarming signings of brothers Sebastián (#14) and Santiago Casaus Natale (#22) to lifetime contracts, and the magic of the lineage of uniform numbers. Have a nice, long weekend, fam. ubtn.substack.com/p/chris-weha...

I got to quote @usltactics.com to Niko Hämäläinen (#2) today during an interview. I think he rather enjoyed being called “one of the best play-starters in the Championship.” Hell, I would.

Was at the doctor's with my wife for a checkup on our baby-to-be-named-later. As we're walking out, the doc turns and says, "Oh I saw you on Facebook, the book about United!" She said she also dropped a Leo-esque "I know him!" when she saw the post. Alas, my nauseating self-promotion has paid off.

My farewell to Will Seymore (#16) ubtn.substack.com/p/seymore-no...

Every time I see Lloris, my first thought is “Greg Hurst cooked his ass in the Open Cup”.

“Starting the season, I was more scared than anything.” It had been 1,358 days since Cristian Nava had scored in the #USL-C after a pair of torn ACLs threatened his promising career. His comeback at @newmexicoutd.bsky.social is one everyone can root for. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

All threads lead back to New Mexico United

Here’s a profile on Niall Reid-Stephen (#7) for you on this lovely match day. Enjoy.☀️ ubtn.substack.com/p/barbados-t...

It's Pride raiser season join @blackdiamondsnm.bsky.social, Delta Tau Redondo, and us in raising funds for @tgrcnm.bsky.social during our games in June and October! www.prideraiser.org/campaigns/ga...

Deal done Will be signed soon based on what I have been told

We have a new entry in the category of flip celebrations! 🤸 www.instagram.com/reel/DXlB41e... How did Justin Rennicks’ (#9) standing backflip compare against Romeo Parkes (#27), Josh Suggs (#5) and Ayo Flanagan (#27)? open.substack.com/pub/ubtn/p/s...

Given the result, there’s an argument to be made that I should’ve stayed home and watched Scrubs, but I will always choose New Mexico United and Open Cup nights. Upward and onward, boys.

There’s nothing like New Mexico United @opencup.ussoccer.com action on a Wednesday night. 💫

The new Mineral Kit makes it first look book appearance 👀
