So what exactly is a Quasar and what does it have to do with soccer? Los Angeles Galaxy President and General Manager Alexi Lalas tells Fox Sports about the Galaxy’s crest as the team launches its new look.

“A Quasar is the heart of a galaxy and generates incredible light and energy. Our crest shows a Quasar shining brightly in a deep blue California sky. It illuminates the initials “LA”, used globally to refer to our City of Angels. The color gold honors the Galaxy’s proud history and tradition in the Golden State.”

Sounds pretty fancy, schmancy. The quasar is also accompanied by two stars, each representing one of the Major League Soccer championships the club has won. The reaction to the new jersey has seemed pretty favorable overall but I wonder if people are getting a little carried away. Especially when you hear Antonio Zea, Head of Soccer for Adidas America talk about “worldwide demand for the new Galaxy jersey”.

Lalas and the rest of the Galaxy management are obviously hoping for a hit. “We wanted a classic and clean look that would stand the test of time, something that generations of players and fans would wear with pride on and off the field,” said Lalas. “We strived to create a jersey with an eye to the future and a nod to the past.”

The real question is what does David Beckham think of the jersey? Wouldn’t that be a headline? Crappy Jerseys Drive Beckham Back to Europe! What do you think of the new uniform? Love it, hate it, or big yawn?
