HOUSTON – 20 years ago the Houston Dynamo FC played their inaugural season in Houston -- and really made a splash -- winning two back to back MLS Cup Championships.
Now, to help honor those 2006 and 2007 wins, the Houston Dynamo FC have launched their archive kit -- honoring the legacy of the team -- and of course the city of Houston.
The kit includes nods to the Astrodome -- the home of the first professional soccer match ever played in Houston, back in 1967, between Real Madrid and West Ham United. The pattern on the kit is inspired by the iconic Astrodome roof, and reflects the journey that has shaped the team, its fans and the city of Houston.
The Team Shop will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday (August 14th) and throughout matchday on Saturday, August 15th.
The Club will honor the 20th anniversary of its 2006 MLS Cup championship team during 2006 Championship Celebration Night at Shell Energy Stadium as the Dynamo host the LA Galaxy, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The Dynamo will welcome back members of the 2006 title-winning team for a special halftime ceremony recognizing the players, coaches and staff who helped establish Houston as a championship club
As part of the celebration, fans can purchase a special ticket add-on to receive a limited-edition replica 2006 MLS Cup championship ring that serves as a commemorative keepsake honoring the Club’s historic inaugural championship season.
Tickets are available at HoustonDynamoFC.com.
Watch as Derrick Shore and Brandon Bourque chat with Dynamo legends and current executives Pat Onstad and Wade Barrett about this weekend’s big events.
