Match Story:
The Hudson River Derby may be young as far as derby matches go, but it’s already had some absolute bangers. Near the top of that list is a blowout victory at Yankee Stadium for Harrison-based Bulls in the match’s fourth edition. Despite having heavy-hitters like Andrea Pirlo and David Villa in the home side’s lineup, the once-Metros pounded the Pigeons 7-0 — including a brace a piece for Dax McCarty and Bradley Wright-Phillips — tying the league’s largest-ever margin of victory.
Design Story:
The match side of the wristband takes its inspiration from the double-decker NJ Transit train cars that run between New York City and Harrison, NJ, dressed in the Bulls’ standard away colors. The reverse recalls the design of a famous energy drink can while also integrating the black and red stripes donned in the club’s early years.
