RED BULLS VS. FC DALLAS: PREGAME

Happy Summer Everyone!! RBR is here high up in the press box at Giants Stadium enjoying the gorgeous day as today, June 21, is the longest day (in terms of daylight hours) of the year. Hopefully it will feel like the longest day for FC Dallas as opposed to the Red Bulls.

Today is the first match for new FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman, who takes over FCD after a storied career at Southern Methodist University. To see exactly how tough this man is, check out the video below (seconds 17-35). We grabbed this video from our friend SF at The Offside Rules:



RBR has also learned that the team will be wearing their blue uniforms for the match tonight. This is only the fourth time this season that the Red Bulls have worn their dark kits. One would suspect that the team would wear white at home, but after six straight games wearing white (including three road matches) the team Kit Man will get a break from keeping the whites clean. The Red Bulls are 1-1-1 in the blue shirts (loss at FC Dallas, draw at Toronto FC, and win at LA Galaxy).
