Fans are the lifeblood of any Major League Soccer club and a new initiative, which debuts this weekend, puts their support on display in a new way. Throughout the month of August, LA Galaxy Season Ticket Members will be rewarded for their dedication with their images printed within the numbers on the back of Galaxy jerseys.
Galaxy Season Ticket Members selected a number (0-9) and the location within that number -- similar to selecting a seat for air travel -- and uploaded their picture.
The Galaxy will wear these special numbers for all regular season games during the month of August. All jerseys -- home, road and alternate -- will feature the numbers. Fans will have the opportunity to customize jerseys and additional merchandise with these special numbers at their club’s official stadium store.
MLS will be the first league to utilize this platform, which is provided by Playing2. The Mexican National Team, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are among several teams in other countries that have used this platform to bring their fans closer to the game. The numbers are being produced by Unisport, the official provider of authentic MLS letters and numbers.
