This is very good for the apparel market. No one brand should have a monolopy.

I would love to see the margin between apparel and ticket sales.

Last week i stood in line for over a hour to buy a Manchester City Tshirt ($35) and cap ($40). The wait was the same at all the apparel outlet at Nissan Stadium. The brand was Nike.

So again, yes Adidas havingvtge MLS MARKET IS GOOD.

Would love to see Puma get a bigger slice of the apparel pie.

Money talks. If Nike or Puma want the deal then $$$.

What I like the most from this is MLS & Adidas have stated that this means increased investment in Generation Adidas & other MLS youth development programs.......With Target pledging $14M for youth development ($6M for developing soccer fields in poor/underserved communities), yesterday, this is a good week for soccer in the U.S.

I am watching the MLS allstar game.

The MLS shirt has the Target logo.

14 Million ! Wow !,

NASCAR's loss is MLS/U.S. Soccer's gain.

Real,true fans are suckers Marin. I am one. Dont know if you and X are included.

This game called football is a massive business.

Thinking that one can sit behind a keyboard and type what should be and can be is simply making oneself feel good. Its like eating granulated sugar. Empty calories.

You know well the reason why teams can offer over 100M for one player. Its because true fans of the sport are suckers!

I would still like to see the margin between ticket sales and apparel. What would be your guess?
