That's right everyone, the team formerly known as the Wiz is having retro night. The folks of Hillcrest Syndicate and the other supporters' section that make up the Cauldron are putting on an official retro/throw-back night on Saturday, October 24 as D.C. United comes to town. Wear your old-school Wiz/Wizards gear for the match if you will sit in the section or if you just want to support the old rainbow logos. Click to continue reading...

Sriwijaya have launched a new badge and kit. It's funny, and I never thought I'd say this, but club shirts look kinda empty without sponsors logos.
Hopefully the shirts will be available at retail outlets to allow both the club, and the kit manufacturers, to cash in on the 30,000 odd fans who follow the Copa winners week in, week out. Click to continue reading...

Further evidence that soccer is slowly (very slowly) creeping into the mainstream is the Real Salt Lake (MLS) - Jet Blue sponsor deal. As part of Jet Blue's partnership with RSL, they have given one of their jets a RSL livery.
