Thanks to the internet (largely Big Soccer...yeah it's still around), images of the new Philadelphia Union third jersey are here.
The team is paying tribute toBethlehem Steel FC, aformer juggernaut of American soccer.The team has stated that the jersey will be worn by the team for March 2′s season opener at PPL Park against Sport Kansas City.
Yesterday was the start of MLS's new Jersey Week. Several clubs unveiled new jerseys and while the Houston Dynamo and New York Red Bulls had small updates to their kits, it was the Colorado Rapids that knocked their new kits out of the park.
The primary is the first in MLS history to feature the names of each of the club's season-ticket holders, while the design of the alternate kit is inspired by the Colorado state flag.
MLS and adidas announced the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 25 in Philadelphia will be the
world's first "smart soccer match" and will feature the new micoach professional soccer team
tracking system, the next step in player performance analysis technology.
The Miami Soccer Festival will be this weekend Saturday July 30th and Sunday July 31st. It's a non
profit soccer event. All net proceeds are distributed jointly by co-organizers ‘Soccer 5
Foundation' and ‘Miami Dade Parks Foundation' to promote more spaces to play soccer and more
places to learn soccer within our community.
*Chivas USA have confirmed for the first time that the club is studying "three or four" options
to move elsewhere in Los Angeles County and out of Home Depot Center.
The news doesn't come as much of a surprise. The only way for an MLS club to turn a profit is to
have complete control of all revenue streams at the facility it plays in and right now as a tenant
of Anschutz Entertainment Group in Carson that's not the case for Chivas USA.
Still enjoying the holiday, but last week we talked about buying soccer gear through individual
team websites. Should be back live tomorrow, but here is post we put up in January of 2010 about
shopping through third party sellers. Is the above investigation still valid?
Last week we started our series on the business of selling MLS and WPS merchandise online.

soccer in the United States. Through the Passback program, new and gently used soccer gear is
collected and then redistributed across the globe to help under-served communities enjoy the most
beautiful game on the planet.
It's not often a winning team would enter the opponent's locker room, especially after a World Cup
qualifying match, but that's exactly what happened tonight in Cancún, Mexico after the USA's 5-0
win over Haiti.
The island nation is still recovering from the devastating earthquake of last January 12 that
reduced much of the country to rubble and took an estimated 230,000 lives, injured more than
300,000 and left one million homeless.
The NSC will team up with Minnesotan and former World Cup soccer player Tony Sanneh and his
"Kick It Back" program to collect new and gently used soccer shoes and equipment at the last home
game this Saturday evening Sept. 18, against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Rules dominate the world. Some things must happen. Death. Jedward concerts. Taxes. Jedward
reunion tours. If you run a soccer blog, you must eventually pen a review of a pair of soccer
cleats. Today is that day for Futfanatico.
As an introduction, I am not loading this post with links because I don't have to do so and
don't want to do so.
Of all the people on the train, the one I wanted to talk to the most was the middle-aged man
with the graying goatee, traveling with wife and two children. He and his son were wearing Chelsea
jerseys. It's not rare to see folks around Chicago in soccer gear, but considering this train and
most of its occupants were heading toward Soldier Field, where Manchester United were to take on
the Chicago Fire, those two bold blue shirts stuck out.
Over the years we have continually maintained the value of a good shopping experience at both
the league stores and individual team stores online. These stores represent an ongoing point of
contact between the teams and their fans, and the goods they sell become walking advertisements for
the franchises they signify.
A message from former MLS player (Dallas) and great person Chris Gbandi:
I wanted to share this important message with all of you. As some of you know, I've been working on
an iPhone app for the past couple of months that will be coming to the app store any minute now.
Iconic U.K. soccer gear firm Umbro has launched a new retro-styled line called the Diamond Icons
range. As part of its the collection kick-off, Umbro has recruited several tattoo collector models
 including professional soccer players Darren Bent (Aston Villa and England) and Juan Manual
Vargas (Fiorentina and Peru).
I saw this link earlier and boy did it get passed around twitter like crazy. I finally got time
this evening to talk about it and post the images from it. Someone out there had some mad photoshop
skills and did some NFL team's soccer kits.
Honestly these are all great. My favorites are St. Louis, Buffalo, and Green Bay.
Los Angeles-area parents and youngsters clad in soccer gear from the Anahuak Youth Soccer
Association will hold a save our parks march in support of Proposition 21.
The association relies on the recreational space at Rio de Los Angeles State Park to host games
and practices.
Local youth sports leagues nearly lost access to the fields last year because of proposed park
closures.
Continuing the Minnesota Thunder's Dark Cloud Supporters group tradition of an end of the year
supporters awards and auction, you are invited to join the NSC Minnesota Stars supporters,
players and front office for this event.
The highlights of the event are the awarding of the Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year,
silent auction of soccer gear and memorabilia for a charitable cause.
