PSP photographer Paul Rudderow was on hand at Xfinity Live as the Philadelphia Union unveiled the new third kit. Hundreds were on hand to see the new kit and meet the players and coaching staff. Here’s a look at what he saw.

I always love the Photo Essays! It was a great night! 🙂
Thank you Joseph, we enjoy doing the Photo Essays.
BC “working the backfield!”
That is just wrong 🙂
I know it was a little cheesy but you can only say someone was signing something so many ways.
Love the picture of Amobi signing my canvas poster. Good job, I didn’t even see you take the picture.
Thank you Jerry, I believe I have other pictures of you and your sign. If you’re interested send me a email at prudds@aol.com.
So with Matt Kassel signing autographs at a meet and greet 4 days before the start of the season, I’m guessing he made the squad?
