LA GALAXY RELEASE 2016 PRIMARY JERSEY

Carson, California – The LA Galaxy announced on Thursday the primary kit for the 2016 season. Galaxy fans can buy the new jersey online  www.teamlastore.com/collections/galaxy-new-arrivals or by visiting the Galaxy team store at the StubHub Center.  The club is planning on debuting the new kits on February 24, in the 2015-16 Scotiabank CONCACAF  Champions League Match at the StubHub Center against Santos Laguna at 7 p.m. PT.

The Galaxy also continue the longest sponsorship in MLS history with Herbalife: the company became the official nutrition company of the club in 2005.  Then, in 2007, it became the presenting sponsor of the club.  Five years later the club extended the relationship with a ten year contract to 2022.

“The new Herbalife Nutrition logo on the LA Galaxy jerseys represents the culmination of an unprecedented 10-year track record of providing the LA Galaxy players with our full suite of products and customized nutrition programs prepared by our staff of nutrition experts,…Our mission is to change people’s lives around the world by providing them with access to good nutrition and a healthy active lifestyle, and we look forward to keeping the LA Galaxy players fueled this 2016 season.” – Michael O. Johnson, chairman and CEO, Herbalife.

 

The new Galaxy kit will take a traditional route, keeping the sash from previous years, but updating it with two contrasting bars that incorporate the club’s colors. The additions to the jersey highlight the new crest which has one gold star, signaling the Galaxy’s record five MLS Cup Championships.

The LA Galaxy will promote the launch of the new kit, with a marketing campaign this week, at This is La Pop Up Sho at BLENDS (725 S. Los Angeles St) in Downtown LA. There will be a Happy Hour on Friday Feb. 5, from 4-7 pm PT, that will have 2016 Galaxy gear for purchase.  Tomorrow, Feb. 6th fans can meet Robbie Keane, Gio dos Santos and Steven Gerrard for autographs and pictures from 2-5 pm.

The Galaxy start the 2016 MLS Regular Season at StubHub Center March 6th, against DC United (7pm PT). Season Ticket Membership plans for the 2016 MLS season are on sale.  People can go to http://www.lagalaxy.com/tickets/seasontickets or call 877-3GALAXY (342-5299) to secure their package.
