The timeless aesthetics of the New York Metrostars The style of the 90s in the best jerseys of NYC team

If on the one hand it's impossible to define the history of a team in a few words, on the other hand there is always the exception that confirms the rule. This exception is called Metrostars, the coolest team in MLS in the first decade of the American league's life. The club located in Harrison, New Jersey, and its history can be summed up in a simple sentence: "The best kits, but the worst teams". The results from 1996 to 2006 have never matched the beauty of the jerseys Donadoni, Djorkaeff, Meola and Matthäus have worn over the years. But Metrostars aesthetics is still today a staple in the American football imaginary, setting standards that are still difficult to achieve today. The life of the New York team lasted only 10 years, but it is as if they were 50 for the load of cultural and sporting meanings it generated.

The history

The move from Metrostars to New York Red Bulls brought first trophies (2013) and champions (Henry, Marquez, Cahill, Wright-Phillips), but it took away a lot of the aesthetics of the beginnings. In the collection launched by the MLS franchises for the 25th anniversary of its foundation, there is a lot of history and a lot of heritage. Everyone has filmed the glorious days of the inaugural season, except the Red Bulls New York. And it's time to revive the aesthetic heritage of the Metrostars.
