Jimmy Conrad Tries On Every New MLS Jersey
03/01/13
US Soccer and Major League Soccer alumnus Jimmy Conrad had the opportunity to preview every new MLS jersey for KICKTV on YouTube. Let this tide you over until we conclude our series of new jersey reviews come next week, when we’ll have our views on Seattle, Los Angeles, Chivas USA, and Portland from myself and our writing crew.
Props to him that while getting special access from adidas he isn’t afraid to point out how there doesn’t seem to be anything different about the Red Bulls’ jersey. As he points out in the video, Jimmy Conrad is no stranger to debuting new kits for MLS teams:
Glad to have MLS coverage back on KICK for the new season!

David Beckham’s Spring 2013 H&M Ad
02/06/13
It may not have aired during the Super Bowl this year, but the second annual David Beckham H&M underwear ad is certainly something to behold.
We’ve all seen “locked out of the house wearing only underwear” gags before; but under the direction of the former Mr. Madonna (Guy Ritchie), this commercial has plenty of wit, soccer skills, and David Beckham butt shots. Including after he makes a swim across a pool as part of his chase.
And keep an eye out for the good old David Beckham #23 LA Galaxy jersey.
This video may or not get quite a few replays by me today.

02/03/13
We are halfway through our countdown of our favorite hot draft picks this MLS preseason, so it seemed like a natural time to check in with last year’s favorite: Chandler Hoffman, Philadelphia Union forward.
We talked about memories of the 2012 SuperDraft and his first professional season, as well as how preseason 2013 is going and what the season ahead looks like with some seasoned veterans now part of the Union attack. And of course, he passes on his crown and sash with some advice for his hottest draft pick successor.
