New Mexico United News Release
Albuquerque, NM - New Mexico United is honored to partner with ALS New Mexico to launch the ALS Kit, honoring the late legendary New Mexican soccer star, Pat Grange. Pat played soccer for Albuquerque High School the University of New Mexico, and was a semi-professional player in Chicago after his graduation. In 2012, and the young age of 29, Pat passed away from ALS, taken from a community that loved him too soon.
"While Pat has been gone for more than a decade, his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of New Mexicans," said New Mexico United President Ron Patel. "We honor his memory each and every season, and are honored to partner with ALS New Mexico to keep that memory alive."
The jersey features the orange, yellow, and grey associated with ALS New Mexico, and their fight against ALS. Each jersey is emblazoned with Grange, #4 on the back in Pat's memory, and will be worn as a warm-up kit ahead of this Saturday's match against Phoenix Rising FC
Proceeds from the sale of the ALS Kit will benefit ALS New Mexico and their search for a cure for this disease. Fans can purchase their kit now, online at https://shop.newmexicoutd.com/collections/new-arrivals-staff-choices/products/als-warm-up-kit, or at the United Team Store, located at the corner of Carlisle and Central in Albuquerque.
