The day he gets to any team where his Jersey will be available for purchase, I am definitely buying. I am a huge fan of the uniforms with the adds on them, like the European style. For some reason I think they look very slick. Plus hes my favorite recent Bradley player...oh and my last name is Roberts...hahaha

Good luck in Mexico Chris!
