    Maybe Henry Rollins said something derogatory about the Galaxy?

    // edit: oh god, just watched that video. “Sport is war, and when man first went to war he charted his course by the stars so we brought back the starburst” WTAF?! I’ve come up with some far-fetched justifications for some of my work in the past, but the contortions to get from war to stars is a stretch to say the least. More importantly it’s totally unnecessary the name of the team is Galaxy, there literally isn’t another theme you could choose that would justify a star motif more than that. More importantly still did LA ever stop using stars in the marketing?

    // edit 2: I see this isn’t an official Galaxy thing, it’s an outside clothier.

    Looks like it’s their logo, no idea what the company is or what they do, their about page is remarkably unhelpful (http://undefeated.com/about) seems they’re maybe a re-seller and brand in and of themselves.

    Ha! I first thought of Black Flag seeing the second mark dropped a bit. Also, it has been posted on the Galaxy's facebook page.

    ^The hastag thing is their logo:

    They are quite a popular brand right now - especially among urban youth. They are a brand themselves and have their own stores.

    Are we alluding to a downtown stadium again? ;)

    Lol. No, just their initial target. I almost did some work with them a year ago. Honestly, this is a good thing. They are hip and trendy, not old and staid. I'd like to see what they are developing.

    It's not a conflict of interest but rather an inflict of conterest.

    Metro Route 205 passes by the Herbalife offices, for the record. So it kind of adds to the buildup every time I head down there for a Galaxy home game.

    Me too. I first saw that logo yesterday on a hat in front of me at the game. My first thought wasn't "Hip Urban Youth," but I'm not in any real position to know these things.

    Star Wars! Victory! Six Pack!

    so what is it?

    My educated guess is that the Galaxy are gonna roll out some sorta urban/hip streetwear line to increase the brand in the "hip" urban market o_O can't think of anything else. wish we were replacing herbalife...

    I think that on the broadcast Joe T said that as a result of the visa issues, Penedo had not been in training and that's why he was benched.

    Are you really so jaded that you wouldn't want to see Man U? At least it's something new, and with Man U not at the top of their game these days, we may not have to watch our defense get sliced up again (like from Real Madrid).

    Let me guess... you would rather watch the Galaxy vs the Rochester Rhinos in Open Cup (with 8000 people in the stands) because it is a "meaningful" game.

    Yep. I understand some people find watching a legendary team appealing, I don’t.
