LA Galaxy have revealed their third shirt for the 2011 MLS season.
The new jersey, designed by Adidas, looks black in the photo but is actually a dark blue (or, as
LA Galaxy are calling it, a dark blur color called "Punjab"). The trim of the shirt is in gold (LA
Galaxy refer to it as "Light Oil Gold," no joke).
Just days after announcing that the LA Galaxy will play Real Madrid on July 16th and the LA
Coliseum, the Galaxy announces that they will play Manchester City on Sunday, July 24 at The Home
Depot Center.
"It was very important to our club to host an international friendly here at The Home Depot
Center for our fans, especially those who come to this stadium week in and week out to support the
Galaxy.
