ST. LOUIS — St. Louis CITY SC may be on a winless streak, but there is something for fans of soccer and comic books to get excited about.
New, limited-edition CITY SC jerseys are dropping this summer in collaboration with Marvel.
Major League Soccer and its uniform partner Adidas teamed up with Marvel to make superhero-inspired apparel. The first part of the collection dropped Wednesday with Avengers-themed warm-up pants and a jacket.
Captain America-themed warm-up tops will drop later this month. Then, other Avengers tops will be available in August.
Players will also wear superhero gear. For the All-Star Game on July 19, the game ball will also be Avengers themed.
