Hello PSP readers! It’s been a minute but we’re logging back into Instagram to tell you some big news:

We just launched a new design for our website! This new and modernized look is easier to navigate and readily features the great pictures our photographers capture.

We plan to continue providing full coverage of all Philadelphia Union and Union II action, while bringing back some old staples of PSP.

Whether you’re a long time reader or only just discovered us, we’re excited to have you along for the ride as the Philly Soccer Page journey continues into a new era.

Check out the new design online through the link in our bio and let us know what you think of it!
