Special Jerseys to Debut this Saturday for Fan Appreciation Month

July 31, 2015 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
D.C. United News Release


WASHINGTON - Throughout the month of August for Fan Appreciation Month, season ticket members will be recognized for their dedication with their images printed within the numbers on the back of player jerseys across MLS.

The initiative was made available to a specific number of qualifying season ticket holders who used a portal on each clubs' website to select a number (0-9) and upload their picture.

MLS clubs will wear these special fan-imprinted 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.

D.C. United members that participate in the program will have the first opportunity to purchase the jersey exclusively at the D.C. United team store on Saturday, August 1. Full Season Ticket Members can save 15 percent on any merchandise purchased.

MLS is the first league to use this unique interaction between fan and club, which is provided by Playing2. The Mexican national team, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are among several teams in other countries that have utilized 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.
