The LA Galaxy unveiled on Thursday the Capsule Collection, an exclusive clothing collaboration with Lifestyle Brand & Vintage sports Boutique Port of Long Beach Capsule.
The collection will be available at Saturday’s match against Real Salt Lake and will officially launch at Port LBC on June 23 in conjunction with a World Cup viewing party, soccer tournament and street festival. Fans can also purchase online.
“Working with Port LBC gave the LA Galaxy a unique opportunity to showcase our club’s history while collaborating with a local, Long Beach-based brand,” said LA Galaxy vice president of marketing, communications and digital Brendan Hannan said in a statement. “This capsule collection utilizes locally made goods to highlight the LA Galaxy’s connection throughout Los Angeles over the past 23 years.”
The collection was inspired by the legacy of soccer in Los Angeles and pays homage to the roots of and growth of the sport and community. It includes a classic athletic looped terry track suit with collegiate style felt lettering applications along with a canvas stadium jacket featuring chenille patch work championship embellishments. A caricature drawing highlighting legacy players from the clubs past by artist Jeff McMillan is a stand out printed tee as an addition to the club’s “Since 96” campaign.
The look book for the collection was shot on a Curtin Maritime barge being pushed through the Long Beach and Los Angeles shipping channels. Galaxy players Emmanuel Boateng, Chris Pontius, Daniel Steres, Servando Carrasco, Romain Alessandrini, Jorgen Skjelvik, David Bingham and Michael Ciani were included in the shoot.
