URBANM.E.S.S.MAGAZINE SALUTES:  

#2 THE CAPTAIN DEREK JETER 

A kid from Kalamazoo, Michigan. A Yankee who was destined to be! Since his Rookie year in 1996, you bought 5 championships to NYC as a member of The New York Yankees, It hasn't been pretty, but you made it all worth while to be a baseball fan for forever! A gentlemen on and off the field, a true Yankee legend, and I'm glad I was able to watch you play for the city that I truly love! Thanks Derek for being a true role model to me and I'm sure millions of others who have watched you play the game the right way!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

JAY (URBANMESSMAGAZINE)

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! 2014 WORLD CUP GEAR BY NIKE, ADIDAS, PUMA AND MORE!

 URBAN M.E.S.S : STYLE/SPORTS 
(SUMMER 2014)  

I can’t lie, if you would have asked a few years ago, “if I would rock a soccer Jersey?” my answer would be “No!” Honestly, I’m not the biggest soccer fan in the world and in NYC Soccer comes in 5^th place behind (Baseball, Basket Ball, US Football, and Hockey) Plus  I would only see guys of Mexican origin on the train rocking them and I would assume they play for some amateur soccer team straight of Flushing Queens, NY.  Now maybe I was a little bias, or slightly ignorant or maybe both! But my curiosity for such sports attire changed when I watched the  2012 Summer Olympics, and saw that the US Men’s and Women’s Soccer teams don some pretty nifty gear during the games. But there are other sure fire jersey, such as Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Portugal, Italia, and more!

 But still I wasn’t  totally sold on me actually getting jersey. But this has all changed during the “2014 World Cup” games in Brazil. Nike, Adidas, and Puma has produced some really nice jersey’s for all fans (Male, female, and Kids too). So let me be the first to apologize and say that “Soccer not only for people that play amateur soccer leagues within the city only!” These jerseys are DOPE!” Too bad my US team are gone form the tournament, but I must say they looked pretty stud wearing the RED, WHITE, and BLUE for our country!  But it also seems that the World Cup Phenomenon has swept through the US especially here in NYC, as I see many people wearing such jerseys from their native home land or their parents’ home land. It has definitely taken the US by storm!

   

 

 

If you would like to purchase jerseys like these below you can search on line for them thru site such as (Nike.com, Adidas.com or Puma.com) or any fine retailer that has them for retail ($60 - $90), but that’s if you can still find any left? Last I checked they were sold out in many stores  here in NYC so Good Luck!!!
