Ahead of Hell is Real derby, FC Cincinnati urge fans to turn in Crew gear

FC Cincinnati - celebration - Hell is Real

If you have some Columbus Crew SC gear and you want to part with it, FC Cincinnati have a deal for you.


The 2019 MLS expansion team announced on Monday that they are running a promotion ahead of their Heineken Rivalry Week game against the Crew on Sunday (6 pm ET | FS1 in US; MLS LIVE on DAZN in Canada). If fans bring Crew gear (such as t-shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts and the like) to the FC Cincinnati Team Shop, they will get a 30% discount of their total on-site purchase of FC Cincy gear.

The promotion is intended to turn Ohio "orange and blue" in honor of FC Cincy's colors and will run through 5 pm ET on Saturday.


Sunday's game will be the first-ever Hell is Real derby in league play at Nippert Stadium, after they played to a 2-2 draw at MAPFRE Stadium earlier this month. Fans are encouraged to wear blue for the game for a "blue out," and you can find available tickets for the clash at FC Cincinnati's website.
