In last Friday’s daily news roundup, we linked to a report from the Jacksonville Business Journal that the Union would play the New York Red Bulls on Feb. 12 at Jacksonville’s EverBank Field. PSP understands that the team is waiting on some final paper work before officially announcing the game.
In addition to the schedule above, a Meet & Greet will take place at Fado on Jan. 28 from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm. This event will be open to season ticket holders as part of the Loyalty Rewards Program. Season ticket holders will be notified by email with more information.
These new kits better be an upgrade from the current ones.
Maybe, just maybe, they can get the “BIMBO” logo to actually match the team colors.
Any reason why the trip doesn’t include anything with the Pro soccer classic??
It does.
