FC Dallas News Release


FRISCO, Texas (Tuesday, June 6, 2006) - FC Dallas announced today that the club will debut a third kit on Sunday, June 11 when the team faces Chivas USA at Pizza Hut Park (5:00 p.m. CT). FC Dallas will wear the colors of Mexican-club partner Tigres UANL of Monterrey - an adidas blue jersey with yellow across the top of the chest and three stripes on the sleeves, blue shorts with yellow trim, and blue socks.

In addition, any fan that wears a Tigres UANL jersey to the FC Dallas versus Chivas USA game will receive free admission to the game. The free tickets must be picked up at the North Box Office upon presentation of the Tigres uniform. A limited number of the third jersey will be available for purchase at the Pizza Hut Park team store.

"We are representing one of the top team's in Mexico, in Tigres. The jersey is nice and we will represent it proudly," FC Dallas forward Carlos Ruiz said. "We invite the fans that support Tigres to support us as we are their brother in this league. It will be like a game in Mexico, but here in the U.S."

The FC Dallas word-mark will remain across the front of the jersey, with a Rio Grande Plate patch on the left chest. The FC Dallas logo will also remain on the front of the shorts as will the Radioshack patch and number on the left leg. The official MLS numbers, Radioshack sponsor logo, and player name will also remain on the back of the jersey.

The primary FC Dallas uniform consists of red horizontal stripes ('hoops') on a white jersey with red shorts. The secondary uniform consists of grey horizontal stripes with grey shorts. This will be the first time that FC Dallas will not wear the primary uniform for an official game at Pizza Hut Park.

On February 28, 2006, FC Dallas and Tigres announced multi-year partnership which will feature among other elements, a home-and-away series for the inaugural Rio Grande Plate - which will be played at Pizza Hut Park on July 19 and in Monterrey on July 26. The relationship also includes the exchange of philosophies and practices of each club's management teams, sponsorship and marketing opportunities, as well as the further development of each club's youth academies.
