The MLS Cup final takes place Saturday, with teams Columbus Crew and Los Angeles FC playing to win the trophy.
The collection includes hoodies, T-shirts, crewnecks, rugby polos, accessories and other styles that take inspiration from vintage soccer graphics. The styles are also designed in a black, gold and silver colorway to give a nod to the Anschultz trophy.
Standout looks in the collection include the rugby polo, which is designed in black and white and features a symbol of the MLS Cup trophy, as well as a gold-colored scarf that’s designed with the Staple logo. Prices range from $35 to $110. It will be available to purchase starting Tuesday.
This is Staple’s latest collaboration in the sports world. In October, the brand teamed with Wilson to create a collection of ‘90s-inspired basketballs. The brand also partnered with the New York Rangers in February, creating a capsule collection that celebrated elements of the city.
Last year, Staple founder Jeff Staple was tapped by Fanatics to create an officially licensed merchandise collection for the NFL, creating pieces for all 32 teams.
The brand also celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, which Staple commemorated with a Rizzoli book, titled “Jeff Staple: Not Just Sneakers.” The book gave insight into Staple’s career in the streetwear industry, starting from his childhood and highlighting his brand’s many milestones and major collaborations since it launched in 1997.
