1999 - Kristine Lilly - Adidas promo card

reverse of the 5x7 card features a grey-tone photo with biographical information. In the lower left hand corner it shows 2 white square with the wording "1999 US Women's World Cup Team, place this card 2nd in the position shown"..

Looks like there might be at least 6 cards issued by Adidas, but I have not seen any others with this design...

Cereal boxes

After Post Cereals issued cereal boxes with Alex Morgan and Omar Gonzalez, I decided to do some research on older cereal boxes that may have been issued:
1994 Kellogg's Raisin Bran - MLS Soccer Slam

1997 Kellogg's Raisin Bran
Marco Etcheverry (DC United) - - Carlos Valderrama (Tampa Bay Mutiny)

1996 Kellogg's - Alexi Lalas (KC Wizards) and Tab Ramos (MetroStars)
sold on ebay for $10.00

In 1996 Kellogg's featured several players for the inaugural season and continued to do so over several years. In 2002 Kellogg launched a special edition of it's Frosted Flakes cereal featuring the Kansas City Wizards following their 2000 MLS Cup Championship and the San Jose Earthquakes following their 2001 MLS Cup championship..




In 1999 Wheaties, famous for all of the athletes they feature on their boxes joined the women's soccer craze honoring members of the US Women's National team following the US Women's World Cup held in the US in 1999

2004 Taylor Twellman - Waffle Crisp

In 2004 Post issued 4 boxes featuring Taylor Twellman (New England Revolution), Landon Donovan (San Jose Earthquakes), Chris Armas (Chicago Fire) and Freddy Adu (DC United) on boxes of Alpha-bits, Waffle Crisp, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Honeycomb, Strawberry Blast Honeycomb, Oreo O's, Golden Crisp and Marshmallow Alpha-bits. Each box offered a free footbag (hacky sack) with the MLS logo.  Post is a product of Kraft foods, which became an official sponsor of the MLS in 2004.


2012 Quaker's Life cereal box featured Chicago Fire's Austin Berry. As sponsor of the Chicago Fire Quaker took it upon themselves to help promote Berry as the selection for 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year, which he was awarded...
