This season, Chivas USA is giving Southern California soccer fans yet another reason to celebrate. Starting with next Saturday's Opening Day at The Home Depot Center, Chivas USA players will give eleven lucky soccer fans the shirts of their backs - literally - at the conclusion of each and every Chivas USA home game.
"Chivas USA's fans are vital to our success," said Chivas USA President and CEO Shawn Hunter. "By giving them the shirts off our backs, literally, we show our appreciation to those who matter most to our club, while creating a new tradition which we feel is unique in professional sports."
After the final whistle of each of Chivas USA's 15 MLS home games at The Home Depot Center, all players on the field - win, lose or draw - will present Chivas USA fans with their game-worn jerseys, as a special souvenir of appreciation. Chivas USA plays its first home game next Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. PT against Real Salt Lake. The Red-and-White conclude their 2008 MLS regular season at The Home Depot Center on October 25 versus the Houston Dynamo.
Chivas USA's 'Shirts of Their Backs' initiative is brought to fans by Frazee Paint, the club's presenting sponsor.
