That's what I'm talking about. Local star players, or former players, would be considered A-list celebs, by most Seattleites, but would get a "who the f*** is that?" reaction in Hollywood. But, then again, most LA athletes would, also.

Just got my mail, and the latest Eurosport catalog arrived. Guess what I found inside the catalog? Hey, if anyone in the FO see's this, don't get mad at us, give Eurosport a call.

I really would like the blue to be the home kit and the green used as away. Except when there is a conflict. Regardless............ They look good!
Another observation................. $63.00 from Eurosport if your a Goal Club member (which costs nothing) plus S/H or $75 from the club. Buying through soccer.com (eurosport) will be cheaper plus you earn GC points towards other free stuff.
