We are one inscription inside of the collar-

PHILADELPHIA UNION
-Founded: 2008
-Biggest rivals: DC United and NY Red Bulls
-The Union's first game was played on March 25, 2010, in which they lost 2–0 to Seattle Sounders FC at Qwest Field, the first game of the 2010 MLS season. Sébastien Le Toux became the first player to score a goal for Philadelphia in their home opener on April 10, 2010, a 3–2 win over D.C. United at Lincoln Financial Field. The team again played Seattle Sounders FC for the first match at PPL Park on June 27, 2010.

This is one of my birthday's presents, which my father brought from Philadelphia some months ago and has been kept in secret during this time. I've discovered that this was the jersey used by Philadelphia Union in its first year in MLS (2010, they also used it in 2011), so it's like having a piece of history in the collection. I'm not a big fan of the sponsor, but the rest of the shirt is very cool.

I've bought Zamalek SC shirt (Egypt) as a present for myself, so you will see it uploaded in a few days.

SPORT LISBOA E BENFICA
-Founded: 28 February 1904
-32 Portuguese Leagues (Last one: 2010)
-Biggest rival(s): FC Porto and Sporting CP
-Holds the Guinness World Record for the football club in the world with most members.

This is my first Portuguese club shirt. I bought it at Lisbon for about 40€. Reminds me of a large piece of golden aluminium foil, althought I like it a lot, it's very original. But don't know why Adidas is placing Benfica's crest on that strange white shape.
