If last year's inaugural Jersey Week was big, the 2014 edition is set to be bigger.
MLS announced the return of Jersey Week on Friday, but this time 17 of MLS' 19 teams will be unveiling jerseys in the lead-up to the opening weekend of the season between Monday, March 3, and Thursday, March 6. Last year, 12 clubs participated in the Jersey Week initiative.
All 19 teams will have at least one new jersey in 2014 with the Portland Timbers being the only club to unveil two new shirts. The San Jose Earthquakes (see new kits here) and D.C. United (see new kits here) beat everyone to the punch, debuting their new jerseys earlier this year.
Fans can pre-order all new jerseys beginning on Friday, February 21 on MLSGear.com (for US residents) and on MLSGearCanada.ca (for Canadian residents).
