MLS, Liga MX All-Star Jerseys to Be Auctioned Off to Raise Flood Recovery Funds

With this year’s Major League Soccer All-Star festivities taking place in Austin, Texas, both MLS and their opponents from Liga MX are rallying together to raise money for flood victims in the state.

Ahead of the All-Star Game itself tonight (Wednesday, July 23), both leagues have supplied game-issued all-star jerseys signed by their entire respective teams to auction off, with proceeds going to the One Star Foundation’s Central Texas Flood Recovery Fund. Flash floods hit 21 counties in the state on July 4, claiming more than 130 lives and destroying homes, businesses and infrastructure.

The MLS jerseys will also have a special green “Texas Together” script logo on the chest, above the inscription with the match details. The same logo was seen on the MLS team’s jerseys for the All-Star Skills Challenge, which was held on Tuesday, July 22.

The MLS All-Star jersey has a white base with blue and green accents, including the adidas shoulder stripes, the adidas logo on the right chest and the MLS logo on the left chest. These colours are nods to the league’s original logo, variations of which were used from its inaugural season in 1996 until 2014. It also has an embossed fireworks pattern all over that’s “inspired by the dazzling display of talent that will be showcased during All-Star Week.” The collar and sleeve cuffs are white with a black stripe through the middle. The jock tag features a commemorative logo with “ATX” (for Austin) and “MMXXV” (2025 in Roman numerals) wrapping around a cactus.

The Liga MX jerseys, meanwhile, are predominantly green jerseys with a “brutalist-inspired graphic design that pays homage to all 18 Liga MX clubs,” according to the press release from Mexico-based manufacturer CHARLY. Some of the references to clubs in the design are literal, like the lion for Club León or the hairless dog representing Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente. Others are more abstract, like the fox fur pattern representing Atlas FC. Atlas earned the nickname Los Zorros (the Foxes) in the 1970s because of how fast their players moved on the pitch.

Drawing inspiration from the Mexican flag, the green kit is accented with red striping through the centre of the black crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs. A stacked Liga MX wordmark sits on the chest, while a different league wordmark runs across the top of the back of the shirt. A panel across the shoulder is solid black, inside of which a CHARLY wordmark is printed on the back collar above a green, white and red tricolor bar.

Three team-autographed jerseys from each league are available in the online auction, along with team-autographed balls. Jerseys signed by individual players will also be up for bids. Three other MLS jerseys are available, each signed by a league legend (Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard or Landon Donovan), along with a fourth signed by YouTuber IShowSpeed.
