Major League Soccer has suspended New York Red Bulls forward Dante Vanzer for six matches for racist language in the team’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. The league said in a statement that.

“The league also imposed an unnamed fine and will require Vanzer to participate in additional league-mandated workouts and a rehabilitative training program.”

The incident in question took place in the 54th minute of the Red Bulls’ 1-1 draw with the Quakes, when Vanzeer said something to Jeremy Ebob that provoked an angry reaction from the San Jose forward, who claimed that the player had used a racial slur directed at him. Ebobi, who is black, did not name the player.

The length of the ban is the longest such ban for a language offence in MLS history.

On Monday, both the Red Bulls and Vanzer Ebobis apologised to the Red Bulls organisation and the Earthquakes, and a day later the club announced that the 24-year-old Belgian would leave the team pending an MLS investigation to avoid further embarrassment.

In a statement released on Monday, Vanzer said: “He said. I will do everything I can to be part of the change that is needed in this sport and in our world. I also want to apologise to my teammates, coaches, the organisation and our fans. I made a mistake and I will do everything I can to change.”

Wanzer missed Saturday’s game, which featured a goal in the 21st minute, and team manager Gerhard Strober regretted that he did not act earlier to replace the 24-year-old.

“In Saturday’s game I made the decision that I thought was the best one given the information available at the time,” said Strouber. “Although there was a lot of uncertainty at the time, based on the information we have now, the right decision would have been to withdraw Dante Wanser from the game immediately.” Strouber has not been sanctioned or suspended for his actions.

Adidas and the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer have officially unveiled their new away jersey for the 2023-24 season, created in collaboration with luxury sports fashion designer Daniel Patrick, marking the first time a Major League Soccer club has worked with a fashion designer to design their new kit.

“It’s fantastic to be working with the New York Red Bulls to design this shirt and give it a street style that people can wear not only inside the football stadium but anywhere else,” said Daniel Patrick, “I’m really happy to be part of this project and when your name is on a professional team’s jersey and they’ll be wearing it to play in football stadiums across the U.S., the feeling is just unbeatable.”

Patrick, who grew up in Sydney, Australia, is a luxury sportswear designer who launched his first collection in 2012. Based in Los Angeles, California, Patrick’s studio has worked with a number of different brands and professional athletes including point guard James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers and point guard Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat. There are good collaborations.

The jersey collaboration aims to take the New York Red Bulls out of the ring and from the court to the streets. Patrick has used his signature tie-dye process on the jersey to give it a spiritual twist. The inspiration for the jersey can be found on many shirts around the world and Patrick has actively introduced a new colour scheme and change has ensued for the Major League Soccer club.

“This is an exciting project, especially to work with my idol,” said Kevin Maulbeck, Art Director of New York Red Bulls FC, “Years ago I used to walk past Daniel Patrick’s SoHo shop and now I’ve had the opportunity to work with him, it’s a dream come true and the process of polishing this jersey has been amazing.”

The new season jersey will be available in two versions, both made from 100% recycled materials and featuring AEROREADY technology to promote cooling and sweat wicking for a comfortable feel. The players’ version features a beautiful heat-transferred three-dimensional club crest and bespoke details, while the fans’ version features a woven club crest. In addition, the ‘1Ritmo shirt’, released in early 2022, will be used as the home shirt in the new season.
