Colorado Rapids - Caribou
2014.04.01
In an April Fool's prank the Colorado Rapids announced they would wear uniforms from the NASL team Caribou of Colorado. The uniforms were found at the Caribou Ranch owned by the Guercio Family, owners of the Caribou team and lent to the Rapids for the joke. The notice was posted on the team's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages...
The Rapids recognize the important role the Caribou played in the history of soccer in Colorado. The Caribou played in the NASL in 1978 finishing their only season with a 8-22 record. Games were played at Mile High Stadium. The Caribou uniform is believed to be the only soccer kit to feature western fringe...

2013 Topps Archives - Pele
2013 Topps Archives Baseball (1975 throwback)
Pele autographed card
Odds: 1:41,000 packs
Came across information about this card while researching the new Topps MLS cards.
In one chat room there was a question of how come Pele gets put in a baseball set, but not the soccer set. I agree I would love to see the older NASL players autographs inserted into the MLS set.
However Topps' primary sets are baseball, and the 2013 Archive set not only includes Pele, but include heavy metal rock stars like Sebastian Bach, tommy Lee, Lita Ford and Dee Snider; actors Jack Palance, Ava Gardner as well as the usual baseball players. The set utilizes all throwback designs another popular trend from Topps

The second coming of the NY Cosmos saw a late victory, 2-1 over the Strikers. The Cosmos scored first on Peri Marosevic's goal, the first in club history since 1984.
The Strikers came back in the 73rd minute to tie the game on a goal from Walter Restrepo. When it seemed the game would end in a tie, Alessandro Noselli snatched the victory in stoppage time before a capacity crowd of 11,929 fans.
Prior to the game the Cosmos honored former Cosmos players including Pele, Carlos Alberto, Barry Mahy, Shep Messing, the late Giorgio Chinaglia and former Striker Teofilo Cubillas...

Update 2013.08.12: I had sent an envelope to the Hempstead, NY postmaster requesting a cancelation for Aug 3 to commemorate the Cosmos Inaugural game. I picked up the mail this morning and added the art for the cachet. The cancel is not the best strike as the latter part of the city and the state are missing, but the date is clear. A nice cover that has plenty of space for an autograph should the opportunity arise...
