The first 7,500 fans will receive Earthquakes 2004 team t-shirts courtesy of Orchard Supply Hardware.

Over 30 former NASL Earthquakes will be back in San Jose for the legends game and festivities, including stars such as Paul Child, Gabbo Gavric, Johnny Moore and Fernando Clavijo. Starting at 5:00 p.m. PT, the Earthquakes NASL Legends will play a 40-minute match at Spartan Stadium prior to the Quakes vs. Dallas Burn game. On Friday, Aug. 20, the Earthquakes NASL players will participate in an open training session at 2:30 p.m. PT at the San Jose State University practice fields, followed by a kick-off party at the Britannia Arms in downtown. Prior to the practice, many of the Earthquakes NASL Legends will attend the Soccer Silicon Valley Rally at Caesar Chavez Park in San Jose from 12-1:00 p.m. PT to celebrate the past, present and future of the game in the Bay Area.

For the first time since MLS formed in 1996, the Earthquakes will wear the red, "retro" jerseys of the 1974 NASL Earthquakes as the club recognizes the NASL team that played from 1974-1984 and 30 years of professional soccer in San Jose.
