According to Fox News Latino the MLS is about to overtake the NHL as the fourth most popular professional sports league in the United States. This means that the hockey jerseys are going to have to be pushed further back on the racks in order to make room for the soccer jerseys. Here are so cool jerseys that you might want to put under your tree this Christmas.
