Happy Halloween! This past week, we held the
Second Annual #MLSPumpkin Carving Contest
and received over forty eerie entries that varied from unique club logos, favorite players, and even coaches. Pumpkins were judged on c
reativity, originality and c
onnection to MLS or a MLS club.
Congratulations to Marcelo Nina Valencia from D.C. who created an outstanding rendition of RFK stadium. His tribute was inspired by the "
Blackout
" that is taking place when D.C. United hosts the New York Red Bulls in the MLS Playoffs.
October 29, 2012
For his seven hours of craftsmanship, Marcelo won a
D.C. United authentic home jersey
from
MLSGear.com
.
And, because we love our supporters as much as you love us, we're going to add to the prize pack an autographed Chris Pontius MLS All-Star ball we've got here in the office at MLS HQ. Congrats, Marcelo.
We'd like to thank all of the fans that took part in the contest, and we've chosen a few of this year's finalists to share below.
Take a look at the
#MLSPumpkin Facebook album
to see more of this year's entries.
For fans who missed out on participating, keep your goblin eyes peeled for the Third Annual #MLSPumpkin Contest next year.
