Pro Merch is Uniting Fans and Clubs – The Pulse of Soccer Merchandising

by Soccer

At Pro Merch, we understand that being a fan is more than just watching a game; it’s a lifestyle, a passion, and a connection to something larger than oneself. In the dynamic world of soccer, this connection is often made tangible through the merchandise we wear, collect, and proudly display. As Major League Soccer (MLS) continues its meteoric rise and global football leagues ignite excitement, the demand for authentic, high-quality gear that truly represents a fan’s allegiance has never been stronger.

Soccer merchandise is more than just fabric and ink; it’s a badge of honor, a declaration of loyalty, and a way to celebrate every victory, every goal, and every unforgettable moment. From the roar of the crowd in an MLS stadium to the anticipation building for a Premier League showdown, wearing your team’s colors connects you directly to the action and the community of fellow supporters. At Pro Merch, we are dedicated to providing fans with the apparel and accessories that forge this unbreakable bond, bringing you closer to the heart of the beautiful game.

MLS Milestones and Fan Connection:

Major League Soccer is buzzing with activity, reflecting its rapid growth and increasing global footprint. Recent headlines highlight the league’s evolving landscape, and each development offers new avenues for fan engagement through merchandise.

  • Player Agreements and Financial News: MLS players have reportedly reached a significant agreement with the league regarding prize money distribution for the prestigious Club World Cup. Such developments, while seemingly behind-the-scenes, underscore the increasing financial muscle and international recognition of the league, adding to the prestige of any club merchandise associated with these high-stakes competitions.
  • Player Updates and Team Spirit: The league sees its share of challenges, with several key players like Brandon Vazquez (Austin FC), Jonathan Rodríguez (Portland Timbers), and Sam Adekugbe (Vancouver Whitecaps) facing injuries. Even Zack Steffen (Colorado Rapids) and Duncan McGuire (Orlando City) are sidelined. In these moments, fan merchandise becomes a crucial way to show unwavering support for both the team and individual players, embodying the “we’re in this together” spirit.
  • Expanding Horizons and Local Pride: The selection of Charlotte FC to host the 2026 MLS All-Star Game is a testament to the league’s expanding reach and growing fanbase in new markets. Similarly, the re-establishment of the iconic New York Cosmos as a USL expansion club right here in New Jersey ignites local pride and opens new opportunities for fans to don their club’s colors. Every fan wearing their team’s jersey at an All-Star Game or a crucial playoff match, like the anticipated LAFC vs. Club América FIFA Club World Cup playoff, contributes to the electric atmosphere and visible unity.
  • Player Movement and Club Legacies: The retirement of LAFC legend Carlos Vela marks the end of an era, while the potential acquisition of Rodrigo De Paul by Inter Miami (a close friend of Lionel Messi) highlights the thrilling transfer market. These player stories, whether of new signings or departing heroes, deeply resonate with fans, making merchandise tied to these figures highly coveted. The news of former Juventus and Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini joining the LAFC ownership group further emphasizes the global appeal and evolving structure of MLS clubs. Lionel Messi’s continued record-breaking performances, with a fifth consecutive multi-goal game, only amplify the desire for his iconic jersey and other team gear. Even moments like Atlanta United president Garth Lagerwey taking a leave of absence due to a cancer diagnosis rally fan support, often expressed through visible displays of team solidarity.
  • Transfer Excitement: The pre-season transfer window is always a hive of activity, stirring intense speculation and excitement among fans eager to see new talent join their favorite squads. San Diego FC, a new entry into the MLS, is already making moves with the loan signing of US youth international Aiden Harangi from Eintracht Frankfurt, building anticipation for their future. Similarly, the expected signing of Mathieu Choinière by LAFC from Canada demonstrates the interconnectedness of North American soccer talent.

Transfer news from England and Europe continues to dominate headlines, influencing fan enthusiasm and, by extension, demand for club merchandise. Reports of Liverpool contacting Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike, or preparing a €100 million move for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, alongside Arsenal nearing a contract agreement with Ethan Nwaneri, all build narratives that fans buy into—and buy merchandise for. The interest from MLS and Saudi Arabian clubs in Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik further highlights the global nature of player movement and the interconnectedness of football fandom.

Premier League Summer Series: Elite Club Action Returns to U.S. Shores

Football fanatics in the USA are eagerly anticipating the return of the Premier League Summer Series in 2025. This preseason friendly tournament brings some of England’s biggest clubs to American stadiums, offering fans a unique chance to see their favorite stars up close. This year’s edition, featuring AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United, and West Ham United, promises thrilling matchups across three major U.S. cities from July 26th to August 3rd.

The series kicks off right here in the Tri-State area, with MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, hosting matches on July 26th. Following this, the action moves to Soldier Field in Chicago on July 30th, and finally to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on August 3rd. This six-match, round-robin format ensures plenty of high-quality football. Imagine the roar of the crowd as Manchester United takes on West Ham United or Everton faces AFC Bournemouth – and picture yourself sporting your club’s colors, ready to cheer them on!

The draw of these international stars is undeniable, and it’s not just about exhibition matches. There’s always buzz about top European talent considering a move to MLS. While star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has reportedly decided to pursue a move to Napoli in Serie A rather than MLS, the allure of American soccer continues to grow. Rumors also circulate around former Premier League sensation Jamie Vardy, known for his incredible goal-scoring prowess with Leicester City, potentially making the jump to MLS after Leicester’s relegation. Such moves would undoubtedly spark even more interest and merchandise sales, as fans rush to get their hands on the jerseys of these legendary players in their new league colors.

MLS Ascending: Sponsorships, Expansion, and Quality on the Rise

Major League Soccer is truly coming into its own, entering its 30th season with unprecedented momentum. The league is experiencing a double-digit increase in sponsorship revenue compared to 2024, a clear indicator of soccer’s growing footprint in the U.S. This surge is fueled by increased ticket sales and merchandise purchases, particularly since global icon Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami CF in 2023. Brands are recognizing the burgeoning and attractive demographic of MLS fans, largely comprised of Gen Z and millennials, with a significant Hispanic representation.

The league continues to expand its reach, with San Diego FC making its highly anticipated debut, bringing the total number of MLS teams to 30. This expansion reflects the league’s ambitious vision and the increasing demand for professional soccer across the country. San Diego FC has already been active, signing defender Christopher McVey to a contract extension through 2027 and seeing their forward Anders Dreyer named MLS Player of the Month for June 2025 – impressive achievements for an inaugural season!

On the player movement front, Toronto FC recently made headlines by ending the era of Italian stars Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi. This move, freeing up Designated Player spots, signals a strategic shift for the Canadian club and highlights the dynamic nature of MLS rosters.

Beyond the field, MLS is exploring innovative ways to increase its global presence and competitive integrity. There’s ongoing discussion about the potential for promotion/relegation with the United Soccer League (USL). The USL has already taken a historic step by adopting a three-tiered promotion and relegation system within its own structure, a move that aligns with global football models and promises to elevate competition and fan engagement. While a full promotion/relegation system with MLS is a complex undertaking, the conversation itself indicates a maturing and ambitious American soccer landscape.

For fans who want to follow the stars of tomorrow, most MLS NEXT Pro matches are conveniently available to stream on MLS Season Pass on Sunset, Apple TV and more. This accessibility ensures that supporters can track rising talent as they hone their skills on the path to the top flight.

While questions about MLS’s overall quality compared to established global leagues persist, its undeniable growth in attendance, sponsorship, and fan engagement speaks volumes. The league is not just surviving; it’s thriving, steadily building a unique and compelling product that resonates with an ever-growing audience.

A Community United by the Beautiful Game

The global football community, despite its rivalries and competitions, often comes together in moments of shared grief. The recent tragic passing of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, along with his brother, in a car accident has been met with an outpouring of tributes from across the soccer world. Such moments remind us of the human element behind the sport and the profound connections it fosters.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter of an international giant or a passionate follower of your local MLS club, the spirit of soccer is alive and well in the USA. And what better way to show your dedication than by wearing your team’s colors? From classic jerseys to fan accessories, Pro Merch has everything you need to celebrate the beautiful game.

Pro Merch Football Glory, Rising Leagues & Gear That Scores Big

by Soccer

From the final day Premier League fireworks to the rise of Canadian women’s soccer, and a U.S. Men’s National Team looking to rebuild, the beautiful game is buzzing with headlines—and here at Pro Merch, we’re not just watching. We’re wearing our pride.

This week, we’re diving into the biggest stories in world football—from Chelsea’s silverware revival to Napoli’s Pope-approved triumph—and showing you how to rep your club with official jerseys, distressed hats, and ceramic beer steins that bring matchday energy straight to your doorstep.

🏆 Premier League Drama: Chelsea, City, and Tottenham Triumph

What a way to wrap the 2024–25 Premier League season. The final day delivered high-stakes drama, last-minute swings, and plenty of storylines to keep us buzzing through the offseason.

  • Chelsea sealed Champions League qualification and capped it off with a UEFA Conference League title. New manager Enzo Maresca called it “just the beginning”—and after ending a four-year silverware drought, fans believe him.
  • Tottenham Hotspur fans finally have something to cheer about: a Europa League trophy and the end of a 17-year title drought, fulfilling a two-year promise made by Ange Postecoglou.
  • Manchester United spoiled Aston Villa’s Champions League dreams, but with their own Europa League final heartbreak and the future of manager Ruben Amorim in flux, questions abound at Old Trafford.

Looking for a fresh way to represent your club through the highs and the heartbreaks? Explore our Premier League Collection of official men’s jerseys—lightweight, breathable, and matchday ready.

🎩 Hats Off: Celebrate Your Team in Style

Whether you’re sweating through extra time or catching a match at the pub, the Distressed Hat Collection is your ultimate matchday accessory. These 100% cotton twill caps blend vintage cool with all-day comfort—and with multiple club designs available, they’re perfect for showing loyalty without saying a word.

From City blue to Spurs white, every cap features a low-profile look, adjustable fit, and rugged aesthetic that stands out in the stands or on the street.

⚽ Canadian Women’s Soccer Breaks New Ground

While the men’s game continues to dominate headlines, the growth of women’s professional soccer in Canada is turning heads. The Northern Super League, just weeks into its debut season, has already reported strong attendance and promising merch sales—a sign that the appetite for women’s football is not only real, but rising fast.

According to the North American Association of Sports Economists, when teams engage deeply with communities, fans respond—and that’s exactly what we’re seeing. This is a major step forward for professional women’s sport in Canada, and the ripple effects could be felt across North America.

The support isn’t just symbolic—it’s showing up in ticket sales, merch racks, and grassroots excitement. While Pro Merch currently champions Premier League and MLS gear, the momentum from leagues like NSL might just pave the way for women’s collections in the near future.

🍻 Celebrate the Win: Football Beer Steins for Every Fan Cave

What pairs better with a 90-minute thriller than a cold one in hand? Introducing the Beer Stein Collection—a tribute to football tradition and your favorite post-match ritual. These 22oz ceramic stein mugs feature gold accents and are coated with ORCA technology to keep your club’s colors sharp and your drink cold.

Perfect for bar shelves, tailgates, or cheering from your living room couch, these mugs aren’t just functional—they’re statement pieces for real supporters.

🇺🇸 U.S. Men’s National Team Faces a Crossroads

Back in the States, the pressure is mounting on USMNT as the Gold Cup looms and World Cup prep intensifies. After some less-than-inspiring recent performances, fans are calling for new blood—and pundits are already spotlighting five fringe players who deserve a look.

But the bigger issue? A weakened Gold Cup roster could derail U.S. hopes heading into 2026. With time running out and expectations rising, the next few months could define the trajectory of American soccer for a generation.

In the meantime, show your support with our MLS Collection—loaded with club jerseys, distressed hats, and the kind of bold supporter gear that turns heads in every stadium.

🇮🇹 Napoli Meets the Pope, Modric & Ancelotti Say Farewell

Let’s not overlook what’s happening in Italy. After reclaiming the Serie A title, SSC Napoli received a rare honor: a private audience with Pope Leo XIV, who praised their discipline and warned against the “exorbitant salaries” infecting the sport. It was a surreal but symbolic moment that reminded the world of football’s deep cultural roots.

Meanwhile, over in Madrid, Luka Modrić and Carlo Ancelotti—two legends of the modern game—said goodbye to Real Madrid as fans prepare for a new era. Between nostalgic goodbyes and fresh starts, the global game continues to evolve.
