Herbalife and LA Galaxy Launch the Club's New Retrograde Kit Into Space Showcasing Their Joint Ambition to Reaching New Heights

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Herbalife and the LA Galaxy unveiled the club's new jersey, the Retrograde Kit, as part of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection. Herbalife has sponsored the Galaxy's jersey for 17 consecutive seasons, the longest-running jersey sponsorship in MLS history. The Retrograde Kit goes on sale today, July 16th on MLSStore.com, adidas.com and the LA Galaxy Team Store at Dignity Health Sports Park.

To bring out-of-this-world excitement surrounding the new jersey to soccer fans near and far and reinforce the Galaxy's ambition to reaching new heights on and off the field, the Retrograde Kit was launched into space through an exciting collaboration with Sent Into Space. The launch is available on Herbalife's YouTube Channel and Instagram page.

"We are incredibly proud to continue supporting the LA Galaxy as their long-time partner, and to be part of this voyage that celebrates our shared commitment to health, performance and community," said Ibi Montesino, managing director of Herbalife North America. "Utilizing this unique launch experience gives us an opportunity to create excitement for this new jersey and the remainder of the 2024 season among our independent distributors, LA Galaxy players, and the fans."

Pulling from the iconic LA Galaxy home kit from 1996, the Retrograde Kit celebrates the club's rich history by blending nostalgia and contemporary flair throughout its design. The kit highlights the '96 crest, the club's first logo, the iconic "Los Angeles Galaxy" mark on the front of the jersey and features the Herbalife logo on the back of the jersey. A quasar pattern running down the middle of the jersey signifies a reinterpretation of a classic element with the Galaxy's modern visual identity.

The third kit will also display five stars on the jersey to represent the LA Galaxy's record five MLS Cups (2002, 2005, 2011, 2012, 2014). The Retrograde Kit will be used by the LA Galaxy for select matches during the remainder of the 2024 campaign.

"We are thrilled to present the LA Galaxy's newest jersey, the Retrograde Kit, and honored to be included in the MLS Archive Collection featuring our partners adidas and Herbalife," said LA Galaxy President of Business Operations & Chief Operating Officer Tom Braun. "We look forward to wearing this third jersey, which blends nostalgia and modern elements from the Galaxy's past and present beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17 against the Colorado Rapids at Dignity Health Sports Park."
