The Galaxy will have a new look when it plays its first competitive game of 2016 on Wednesday at the StubHub Center. And we’re not just talking about the lineup, which could feature as many as seven starters who weren’t even on the team at the start of last season.
Because in addition to new players, the Galaxy will also debut new uniforms. On this season’s jersey, the traditional broken blue slash across the front has been replaced with solid blue and gold bars that run from the left shoulder to the right hip. Shirt sponsor Herbalife has added the word “nutrition” below the company name, part of a wide-ranging rebrand by the $4-billion business which was formerly described as a multilevel marketing corporation but which now wants to be known as a global supplier of nutrition and dietary supplements.
