Green is my favorite color

However, I don't wear it to the press box any more, because I get teased about it being the Galaxy's color. It's unprofessional to wear the colors of the local team, apparently. I still wear red, though, because though Chivas USA has it as one of their primary colors, so does over half of MLS at this point. I just avoid red and white stripes.

I'm not sure how the color thing became a rule in the pressbox. It might just be based on superstition, like the idea that the number 13 is bad luck.

Somehow, it's hard to believe that applies in soccer, where both of the all-time cap leaders for their respective senior national teams wear 13. Cobi Jones has 164, while Kristine Lilly has 320-something and counting.
