Even if Major League’s Soccer brightest stars don’t light up the night at the upcoming 2021 All-Star Game, at least their jerseys will.

The jerseys are black with reflective trim to “shine on a backdrop of black and gold and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood,” according to MLSsoccer.com.

The patterns on the front of the jersey are inspired by art deco architecture found around the city of Los Angeles, and are made up of stars and maple leaves to represent both the United States and Canada.

A series of icons inspired by Los Angeles appears on the back collar, including a stars, an ocean wave, a sun and a freeway interchange (seen below at the bottom of a commemorative banner). The number 25 also appears there, to mark the 25th MLS All-Star Game.

The number 25 also appears in the MLS crest on the front of the shirt. An “LA21” patch appears on the right sleeve, just below adidas stripes that wrap over the right shoulder. The logo of shirt sponsor Target appears on the front, along with adidas’s logo.
