The jerseys became attractive ad space after the Galaxy signed international heartthrob David Beckham. Herbalife paid $20 million for five seasons.  Be first to comment this article |  Add as favourites (183) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 708

History of Soccer Jerseys |
Early Times
Even though the first soccer match was played in 1860, at that time there was not yet still the concept of standard team colors.During that period, players would normally play with any clothing they had available. To distinguish themselves, soccer players of the same team would use colored caps or sashes.

For a David Beckham's Jersey |
|
A David Beckham's shirt created a legal battle between two kids, one 9 years old and the other 10, from Honolulu Everything started when David Beckham threw his jersey to the public during a match in Aloha Stadium.Now the dispute for the jersey between two kids' families, has resulted in bitter legal fight. The two kids where good friends and used to play in the same soccer team. Everything changed when Beckham approached them at the end of the match, celebrated on the 20th of February, between Galaxy's and Gamba Osaka from Japan. Eric and Yoshika Kerr say that it was their 10 year son who brought a banner to the match which caught the attention of the star. Wilfred and Yoshika Ho claim that it was their 9 years old who took it first and then, after a small fight with other 2 kids, the police decided that it was him who should keep it. Wilfred Ho considers that one picture published Thursday in the cover of the newspaper The Honolulu Advertiser is the best proof.
